Business Description
Quad is a marketing experience company that provides brands with a streamlined, flexible and efficient way to reach consumers. The company leverages three key competitive advantages - integrated marketing platform excellence, ongoing innovation, and culture and social purpose - to create a better way for its clients, employees and communities. Quad's marketing platform helps brands reduce the complexity of working with multiple agency partners and vendors; increase marketing process efficiency; and maximize marketing effectiveness. Quad's holistic marketing solutions include strategy and consulting, data and analytics, technology solutions, media services, creative and content solutions, and managed services.
Quad was founded in 1971 by the late Harry V. Quadracci in Pewaukee, Wisconsin. As of January 31, 2023, the Quadracci family, through the Quad/Graphics, Inc. Amended and Restated Voting Trust Agreement, has voting control of approximately 72%. As of December 31, 2022, the company had approximately 15,300 full-time equivalent employees in North America, South America, Europe, and Asia, and served a diverse base of approximately 2,900 clients. Quad locations span 14 countries, including 45 manufacturing and distribution facilities, and more than 80 client-based on-site locations, with additional investments in printing operations in India.
Quad grew rapidly through greenfield growth during its first 40 years. The company built a premier manufacturing and distribution platform equipped with the latest technology, established its reputation as one of the printing industry's foremost innovators, and created a strong company culture based on enduring values and a commitment to social purpose that remains in place today.
Beginning in 2010, Quad strategically expanded its offerings to create enhanced value for its clients. The company added experienced talent and enhanced and expanded its print-based product and service offerings through a series of disciplined consolidating acquisitions. This period of consolidation established a disciplined cost reduction philosophy while creating the opportunity for additional investments in the highly automated and efficient manufacturing and distribution capabilities the company operates today.
Beginning in 2018, Quad focused on strategic investments in marketing services, talent, and technology to accelerate its eventual transformation as a marketing experience company. During this transformation period, Quad made several growth acquisitions, including Ivie & Associates, Periscope, and Rise Interactive. In addition, the company hired business professionals with client-side marketing experience and consulting expertise to strategically expand its integrated marketing offering, enter new market verticals, and change product-centric conversations with clients to a solutions-based approach. To reflect its transformation, the company evolved its brand from Quad/Graphics to Quad in 2019.
Quad provides brands and marketers with a more efficient and effective way to reach consumers through its integrated marketing platform. The company creates greater value for clients by removing friction in the marketing process and speeding the overall marketing journey by enabling more effectively integrated marketing ecosystems. As a good corporate citizen, Quad also creates societal value through a strong commitment to proactively addressing environmental, social, and governance (ESG) matters. In 2022, the company delivered strong financial results while navigating multiple challenges, including an uncertain economic environment, paper and supply chain disruptions, inflationary cost pressures, rising interest rates, and labor shortages. Despite these challenges, Quad worked thoughtfully and diligently to mitigate these impacts on the business and proactively manage client expectations.
