From Vision to Impact: The Journey of July Grey
Since 2014
Founded in 2014 as Pine & Bars, July Grey evolved from a creative studio into a strategy-first growth partner focused on building demand engines for modern businesses.
Founded in 2014 as a social media side project, we quickly grew into a leader in digital innovation. By 2016, we pioneered Snapchat’s filter integration technology, leading to a strategic sale within a year.
In 2019, we shifted focus to athlete branding, launching an agency that made an immediate impact. In its first year, we built brands and partnerships for 52 professional athletes, primarily NHL players. By year two, our roster expanded to 250 athletes, offering sponsorships, partnerships, NFT development, and charitable support, including fundraising for youth sports.
Building on this success, we launched a division to support the global effort to monetize athletes' biometric data through blockchain technology, aligning with initiatives like Project Red Card in the U.S.
Today, these experiences drive July Grey, a trusted partner for professional athletes, entrepreneurs, and businesses. With expertise in digital marketing, strategy, and design, July Grey helps clients achieve greatness in an ever-evolving marketplace.
