We’re a Detroit-based Branding, Marketing, & Communications Agency.

The Utmost Group was founded by Chris Grindem, leveraging more than 40 years of experience to serve the greater good. Although he specializes in working with nonprofits and entrepreneurs, Chris has worked across 40 industries and with close to 150 brands. As a result, we likely have experience with your business marketplace. Just ask.

In our experience, the best way to understand if and how we could help is to schedule a time to talk.

Once you learn how we use proprietary research to discover a brand’s authentic truth, we can discuss the relevance of our approach to your needs and opportunities. Learn more about our Pro Bono 30-minute Strategy Session offer in the video below. We’d love to talk!

Transform your prospects into brand believers.

Watch Chris tell you why we’re offering free 30-minute reviews with nonprofits, as a no-obligation way to say “Hi” and see if there’s interest..

Our clients appreciate the results our approach produces.

In addition to the video interview I conducted with Leslynn Angel, President and CEO of MI-UCP, feel free to browse our other case studies and Google Reviews.
