Creative, fun, and hard-working only begins to define who we are and The Narup Group’s success story. We are a family business that has transcended from one generation to the next.  We have grown  from a one-man industrial advertising agency into the small yet mighty effective social impact marketing communications powerhouse today that is The Narup Group.

In 1956, the same year the US satellite Explorer I went into orbit and expanded the world’s communications system, William J. Narup and Co. set up shop at 2 North Riverside in Chicago. Our founder Bill Narup saw the need for big thinking in a smaller, service-focused, creative and versatile firm to help manufacturers and distributors increase their business through advertising. Bill’s wife, Carol, joined the firm and together they built a name for themselves by creating excellent relationships within the industrial trade marketing communications arena that continue to this day.

Cathy (Narup) Westhouse, president of The Narup Group, continues the family business by heading up a full-service, social impact marketing communications firm that utilizes the best marketing channels to grow our clients’ businesses.
