Gloster Marketing began twenty years ago
as a full-service advertising, media, public relations and
marketing agency. CEO Michael Gloster built the company using
his experience in national-level broadcast marketing and management
positions. Since 1990, the company has specialized in developing
and importing family-themed artwork from southern Africa for
mass market. Gloster Global has brought a unique form – Shona
Stone Sculpture – to the American market at an affordable
price, and has also developed related products, like jewelry,
from the original sculpture designs.
More importantly, by emphasizing
fair trade and fair treatment, Gloster Global has helped
indigenous artists earn living wages
to sustain their families and pursue their craft. The artists’ relationship-themed
works are symbolic not just of the couples and families they
portray, but also of the kinship of the small cooperative groups
in which they are created, and the cooperative spirit Gloster
Global hopes to promote.
For nearly fifteen years Michael Gloster
and his wife, company COO Victoria Gloster, have worked quietly
but very successfully
to build personal and business relationships throughout Africa.
From grass roots to parliaments, from South Africa and Zimbabwe
to Liberia and Sierra Leone, and in many places in between,
they have focused Gloster Global’s energy on building
African-owned businesses that can participate in the global
economy. Opening up the US and other world markets with and
on behalf of its African partners, Gloster Global has gained
wide recognition for its registered trademark -- SAAFAIR® --
which has come to stand for ”Successful African/American
Alliances” and fair treatment. As intended, Gloster Global
has helped create prosperous businesses, including a fully
vertically integrated international art business based in Zimbabwe,
and a fledgling cocoa and coffee business in Sierra Leone.
Together with its African partners, Gloster Global’s
undertakings have generated millions of dollars for local and
international economies. As Gloster Global seeks to strengthen
its efforts in Africa, it also continues its endeavors utilizing
commercial success to help fund education and health care in
African communities, and raising funds for similar causes here
in the United States.
