Say hello to the Elevate Network.
Gaines Elevate Group consists of a hybrid virtual network of trusted advisors across the Midwest with decades of experience supporting well-known brands such as Google, Walmart, Tyson Foods, Hilton Hotels & Resorts, and General Motors.
Owner and principal, Gaines Elevate Group. I love working with brands to bring their message to life. When I'm not on the job, you can find me enjoying summers on Lake Travis and taking road trips across the great state of Texas.
I believe that relationships are at the core of every success, and I encourage the same for my colleagues and clients as they navigate opportunities to connect and grow. Through my experiences in both the agency and corporate environments, I supported clients in making true connections, identifying ways to effectively share their stories, and ultimately, providing meaningful solutions to stakeholders.
I love managing projects and helping clients with social media strategy. I used to own an organizing business and have a slight obsession with post-it notes. I also spent a tour in the United States Air Force working as an Aerospace Ground Equipment Mechanic and am very thankful to have served my country.
Passionate about intentional, excellent, and lasting design solutions, Zac uses his skills in graphic design, photography, and UI/UX to tell a story. He strives for empathy in design, always keeping a focus on accessibility and inclusion.
