About Us

Glenda McKinley founded GMc+Co. Strategic Communications in 1987 with a passion for storytelling and a commitment to helping brands and organizations connect meaningfully with their audiences. She created GMc+Co. to craft narratives that inspire and leave a lasting impact.

Today, almost 40 years since its founding, GMc+Co. is one of the longest-standing communications firms in New Orleans. The walls of the agency are wrapped in awards, and the firm’s blue-chip client list is enviable. Still, the best is yet to come.

In 2020, Glenda's son Ernest M. English, an MIT Fellow and collaborative artist, joined the team as associate creative director. Ernest was inspired by both his mother and his grandfather, the late Larry McKinley, a political force and an influential figure in the radio and music industry. Ernest brings an infectious curiosity and a love for both the creative process and his hometown. He has the insight, passion and drive to lead GMc+Co. and its trusted partners into the future.
