Greg Ekborg
Creative. Marketing. Branding.
Creatives understand
United States Marine Corps veteran and entrepreneur Greg Ekborg has worked with companies like Caesars Entertainment® + NFL®, Top Rank Boxing, Manny Pacquiao, and A&E to improve their branding and online presence.
Along the way, he discovered great branding is just as critical for his fellow veterans as it is for big companies. Now he’s committed to growing veteran careers and businesses. Using a combination of technology and storytelling, he uses his experience, education, and military skills to improve the lives of military families across the country.

What Are Others Saying?
Greg is one of the most brilliant, articulate, and out of the box thinkers I've ever met. He's a blast to work with and comes up with the most creative "out of the box" ideas ever. I really don't think there's a task to big or to small for Greg, he gets it done & done in a creative way that only Greg can do. Without any hesitation I'd hire Greg in a split second for anything that I need knowing that it will be awesome!! J.D. Austin ,TX Small Biz Marketing L.L.C.
