A Legacy of Expertise.

A Future Built for Impact.

Founded in 1986, dgs began as a specialized agency serving industrial and manufacturing clients with a simple but powerful philosophy: Marketing should be a business driver, not just a support function.

Over the decades, we’ve evolved alongside the industries we serve, expanding our capabilities, deepening our technical expertise and building long-term partnerships that continue to fuel innovation and growth. What hasn’t changed is our focus: delivering smart, strategic marketing that helps complex businesses compete, connect and grow.

The dgs Team

We take immense pride in the people who power our agency. Every team member brings a unique background and a sharp, specialized skillset to the table. Many of us come from the client side, with firsthand understanding of the pressures, priorities and pace of our clients’ world. We anticipate your needs, speak your language and work like an extension of your internal team.

Together, we blend insight with execution, strategy with creativity and bold thinking with results-driven marketing.

The Leadership Team

Leslie Galbreath, President and CEO, and Alkis Marangos, Chief Marketing Officer, lead dgs with a commitment to purposeful, business-focused marketing that delivers measurable impact.

Leslie drives the agency’s vision, research, planning and strategy, ensuring every initiative is grounded in insight and aligned with client goals. Alkis translates that strategic foundation into actionable plans, leading the execution of marketing programs that deliver real-world results.

Together, they bring clarity, direction and momentum to the companies we serve across industrial, advanced manufacturing, automation and high-tech sectors.
