Geers Gross

Geers Gross was a British advertising agency which also operated in the United States. It was headed by Robert Gross for many years, and was affiliated with Eurocom, a Paris advertising agency. [1]

In 1986, Robert E. Geers, one of the founders of the agency, returned as its creative head.[2]

Henry J. Wasiak became president of the agency in 1985.[3]

Geers Gross developed the cartoon character "Fred the Flourgrader" for Homepride, a British manufacturer of flour and sauces, in 1965. Homepride continued to use the character after it changed to a different advertising agency. [4][5]
