Raul Lince

Leadership

Raul Lince founded Grid Communications in 2012 from and scaled it to give brands the kind of senior, hands-on creative leadership that often gets diluted in bigger agency models. With a background in advertising and design, including time at DDB Canada, Raul brings strategy and craft together to build work that feels clean, confident, and culturally on-time. He leads Grid's creative output end-to-end, from positioning and campaign concepts to the content systems that keep brands consistent week after week

Grid started with a simple belief:

The best ideas usually sound a little stupid at first.

We've sat on every side of the table.

Agency. Brand. Startup. Client.

We've seen how fast a good idea can fall apart and what it takes to keep it alive.

We work with people who care.

About the idea. About the team. About doing it right.

About building something that actually moves the business forward.

Why brands choose Grid

Owner minded from day one

We think like operators. Every strategy, every piece of creative, every dollar spent gets judged by the same question: Does this drive revenue?

Speed without sacrifice

We move fast because we're small. We deliver quality because we're picky. You get agency expertise with the nimbleness of an in-house team.

Brave enough to be stupid

Safe doesn't sell. Sameness doesn't scale. We push for ideas that make you nervous in the best way—the ones that get remembered.

If you've ever said

"Would it be stupid if...?"

and meant it,

you'll probably like working with us.

The Reality

Rising costs. Packed markets. Social feeds full of noise.You don't need more content. You need more customers.

How We Get You There

We don't do fluffy brand exercises. We build clear paths from where you are to measurable revenue growth—through positioning that cuts through, creative that converts, and channels that actually drive traffic.

01

Find the Bottleneck

Most brands know something's off. They just don't know what. We figure out what's actually holding you back—traffic, awareness, retention, or competitive noise drowning you out.

We skip the generic audit and go straight to the gap between where you are and where the revenue is.

02

Own Your Lane

Saturated markets reward brands with sharp positioning. We carve out a space that makes you the obvious choice—not just another option fighting for attention.

Clear differentiation. Messaging that sticks. A voice that makes competitors sound like they're reading from the same script.

03

Build Work That Moves People

Content that gets saved. Campaigns that get talked about. Creative that actually drives foot traffic and online orders—not just engagement for the algorithm.

We make work that converts skeptics into customers and customers into regulars.

04

Show Up Where It Counts

Your customers aren't everywhere. We figure out where they're making decisions—TikTok, Instagram, Google, their neighborhood—and we make sure you're impossible to ignore.

Organic reach. Paid amplification. PR moments. Influencer partnerships. We deploy what works.

05

Track What Pays the Bills

Likes don't cover rent. We track metrics that matter to operators: foot traffic, repeat customers, online orders, revenue growth. Then we optimize for more of what's working.

No vanity dashboards. Just clear reporting on what's driving sales and what's not.

No decks collecting dust.Just work that drives the numbers you actually care about.

More foot traffic. Higher order values. Customers who come back. That's what we're here to build.
