Rootless Agency … the Back Story

Rootless Agency… the Back Story

Read the story

Rootless Agency started with a feeling. Greta Bajrami had built one of the most recognized roofing companies in Massachusetts, and she still felt rootless.

Greta arrived in the USA at age nine from Albania with only one English word in her vocabulary: pizza. She earned a degree in Business Administration at Worcester State University and applied for a job at a roofing company as a foreman. Despite the lack of industry experience, the owner saw her potential and hired her for the position.

Fast forward several years and Greta founded Golden Group Roofing. Together with her husband Freddy Campoverde, she built it into a leading roofing company in Massachusetts: nationally recognized and award-winning, with several customer service and excellence honors.

Greta won the prestigious Ernst & Young New England Entrepreneur of the Year Award, which celebrates ambitious visionaries who are leading successful, dynamic businesses.

She is a big believer in giving back and donates time, talent, and money to local charitable organizations, including Habitat for Humanity, building roofs for new homes for those in need.

Still rootless

Even at the top of her industry, Greta felt rootless. Success did not make her want to settle down; it made her want to pick up her roots and put them down somewhere new. That feeling is where the agency’s name comes from.

So she approached her cousin, Xhulio Jamaku, about starting another business together. Xhulio graduated as Valedictorian at Epoka University in Albania and came to the USA in the summer of 2017, where he worked as a full stack software engineer with skills in back end development, front end development, UI/UX design and more.

Although they are cousins, Greta and Xhulio had never met before he moved here. She “adopted” him as a brother and found that their skills meshed well.

Rootless Agency is born

Golden Group had the same problem as many growing businesses: it was hiring several agencies for its website, branding, and marketing, and those agencies were not communicating with each other.

So they set out to solve it for every business facing the same problem, with one agency that does it all. Branding, websites, apps, social media, photography and video, and marketing, all from one team that works together under one roof. A one-stop shop.

That idea became Rootless Agency.

The Rootless philosophy

From the start, it was clear that Rootless is not a typical agency. Xhulio says:

“We work with our clients, not for them. At Rootless we ask many questions to understand their business and use this as a starting point for our consultations. We want to be there for the long journey, not just for a one-off project. It is our goal to help our clients with content and marketing ideas that come to life!”

Greta added:

“We are an agency that is business first… always business first. Traditional web and branding agencies do not think about the business and the challenges the owners have on a daily basis. They don’t think about how to make the business work better.”

As a minority woman in the male dominated industry of roofing, Greta has seen and heard about the pain points and fears the owners live with. She offers a perspective that resonates with Rootless Agency clients. She partners with them on having a viewpoint that meshes with their own, while adding marketing expertise. Greta says, “Even if the company isn’t ready for marketing … we explain what needs to be done first.”

First things first

“Many clients think they just need a new logo,” Xhulio says, “but sometimes their company needs to rebrand, or update operations, or overhaul their website. It is our responsibility to listen to their concerns and then recommend a plan of action: a process that makes sense for their vision for growth and their budget.”

A leadership role in mentoring

Greta is a sought-after speaker at conferences for entrepreneurs. Her philosophy is that you need to be “rootless” when considering business ownership, no matter what industry you are in.

“You need to pick up your roots, detach them, and put them down where your dreams lie.”
