What We Do

Capabilities built for real-world growth.

No off-the-shelf playbooks. Every engagement is designed around your funnel, your audience, and your competitive environment.

01

Digital & AI-Informed Strategy

Go-to-market and communications planning grounded in research — the same discipline behind launch work for Lexus's first all-electric SUV.

02

Paid Media & Performance

Google, Meta, and programmatic campaigns with testing frameworks and attribution that cut waste — including record-setting first campaigns for national brands.

03

Marketing Automation & CRM

Segmentation, triggers, cadence, and workflow design across HubSpot and beyond — automation programs that increase personalization while reducing manual overhead.

04

Research, UX & Analytics

Personas, customer journey mapping, usability testing, SEO and CRO — the evidence layer beneath every recommendation we make.

05

AI Strategy & Implementation

We identify, vet, and deploy the right AI tools for your stack — measurable productivity and revenue impact, not hype — vetted against your real workflows.

06

Fractional Strategy Leadership

Senior marketing leadership without the full-time cost — strategic oversight, team mentorship, and executive-level accountability for growing companies.

Our Method

Rigorous. Iterative. Unsentimental.

No. 1

Diagnose

We audit your existing data, channels, and team capabilities before recommending anything. No assumptions — only evidence.

No. 2

Design

A strategy tailored to your stage, budget, and growth levers — drawing on current AI tooling without chasing shiny objects.

No. 3

Deploy

Hands-on implementation alongside your team. We build systems designed to outlast the engagement, not create dependency.

No. 4

Optimize

Continuous measurement, transparent reporting, and rapid iteration — so the strategy gets sharper every week.

Who We Serve

Built for the ambitious, not the enormous.

We work best with organizations that are serious about growth and ready to use data as a genuine competitive advantage.

Startups finding product-market fit

Pre-Series B companies that need enterprise-grade marketing intelligence without enterprise overhead — acquire the right customers and build channels that scale.

Growth-stage companies scaling

You've proven the model. We bring the analytical rigor and AI tooling to scale spend, optimize LTV, and out-execute better-funded competitors.

Established businesses modernizing

You know the landscape has shifted. We translate the best of modern AI and data practice into your real-world operations.

Lean teams punching above weight

Teams of 5–50 where every hire counts. We act as a force multiplier — the strategic depth of a full marketing department, on demand.

About the Firm

Two decades where deep data meets practical execution.

R. McGarry Consulting was built on a single observation: the gap between what enterprise marketing teams could do and what everyone else had access to was widening — and it didn't have to.

"The best marketing decisions come from rigorous data and clear thinking — not bigger budgets."

The firm draws on twenty years inside agencies like SapientNitro, IQ, IMM, and Trevelino/Keller — leading strategy for brands from IBM and Coca-Cola to Chili's and IHG — and has served startups, agencies, and growing companies independently since 2015.

Engagements are focused, accountable, and designed to build lasting capability in your team — not consulting dependency.
