An ethos of care

With the rise of the digital age, the way we connect, communicate and consume has changed. Successful brands and business owners know that customers are no longer settling for just any product or service. Instead, they are investing in stories and the people behind them. With the advent of social media, customers are now looking for goods and services that they truly align with, that resonate with them on a deeper level-- making them feel as though they are part of a community or something bigger than themselves. At T.G. Consulting, we follow a human-centric approach. Living in our hyper-consumeristic society, it is not only important to us that our clients feel as though they can show up authentically and make an impact with their businesses, but that their customers feel truly valued, are treated with care, and are seen as more than just a metric or dollar sign.

Anyone can make a marketing campaign go viral, garnering endless likes and site click-throughs from a simple cookie-cutter digital marketing strategy. but vanity metrics and aesthetic branding alone are not what create real brand loyalty and true, lasting change. We believe that knowledge is power, and our ultimate goal is to help our clients make a difference with their products, services, and stories. Therefore, we do not just do the work for our clients. In order to help foster their confidence and creativity, we elect to collaborate instead; prioritizing mentorship and giving our clients the tools, resources, and guidance they need to be successful with or without us. With strategy and storytelling at the heart of what we do, at T.G. Consulting, we feel that it is imperative to not only teach our clients how to craft cogent marketing messages that sell but more importantly, how to create and run ethical and intentional businesses that truly embody their brand message and ethos.
