ALANNA NATHANSON & NATALIE ARMATA on owning one of the only female-founded agencies in North America, bravery, decency, creativity, and so much more!

Breaking Brave with Marilyn Barefoot

ALANNA NATHANSON and NATALIE ARMATA are the CO-CEOs AND CHIEF CREATIVE OFFICERs at G&G Advertising.

Alanna is one of those rare creatives that actually loves business, so… she started one. Pre-G&G, she’s grown brands in every category, while winning a multitude of top industry awards. Today, she’s proud to have helped build G&G into an A-list indie shop, which has won both creative accolades as well as business ones. While overseeing meaningful, memorable work that drives success, she has also instructed at the Miami Ad school and most impressive, been known to pair the right Cabernet with fries.

Natalie has always made the impossible possible. No challenge has been too great: from rising to the top of her field in art direction and design, to running an income property mini-empire, to starting an advertising agency, she can simplify the overwhelming into the achievable with her razor-sharp vision, resilience and tireless energy. She’s worked on every category and at top agencies, while winning national & international awards in the process. She mentors students, speaks on panels and has taught at the Miami Ad School. She fearlessly launched G&G based on her own ethos: Be Brave, Be Decent.
