What sets us apart

Built differently by design

Most consulting firms are built to scale headcount. TCG is built to deliver senior judgment. The difference shows in every engagement.

Founders do the work

When you engage TCG, you work directly with Debbie and Jamie — not an account manager or a junior team. The people you meet in the first conversation are the people delivering your strategy, attending your leadership meetings, and presenting to your board.

Deep industry context

We’ve built specialized expertise in the industries we serve — industrial & manufacturing, advanced technology manufacturing, food & beverage, and logistics. We understand the regulatory environments, investor expectations, and communications dynamics of each. You don’t pay for our learning curve.

Data drives every decision

We don’t ask clients to trust recommendations we can’t support with evidence. Analytics are how we think, not just a service we offer. We connect marketing activity to revenue, track brand health quantitatively, and report in language your board understands.

Crisis-ready by default

Every engagement includes a communications infrastructure designed for stability and speed. Our clients don’t scramble when a crisis hits — they have a plan, a partner, and a team that knows their business before the phone rings.

Transparent flat-fee pricing

No hourly billing, no surprise invoices, no charges for calls or emails. You know exactly what you’re paying before we start. The price covers everything within scope — and nothing starts without your explicit approval.

AI-fluent, not AI-dependent

We use AI as infrastructure — for monitoring, analytics, content acceleration, and visibility tracking. We never use it as a replacement for the strategic judgment and authentic storytelling that actually builds trust with buyers in regulated industries.

Industries

Where we do our best work

In technical, scientific, and regulated industries, generic communications advice is actively dangerous. We arrive knowing your audience, your constraints, and the publications that matter in your space.

Industrial & Manufacturing

Where operational complexity, supply-chain pressure, and investor expectations collide — requiring partners who understand the floor and the boardroom.

Advanced Technology Manufacturing

Complex product storytelling, B2B communications, and trade media for companies building the future of manufacturing.

Science & Technology

Technical communications and brand building for science-driven organizations that need to translate complexity into compelling narrative.

Scientific Communications Nonprofits

Mission-driven communications, stakeholder engagement, and earned media strategy for organizations advancing science in the public interest.

Transportation & Logistics

B2B marketing strategy, employer brand, and complex stakeholder communications for companies moving goods and people.

Food & Beverage

Brand communications, consumer PR, and media relations for food and beverage companies navigating a competitive and evolving landscape.

Lab Equipment

Technical product communications, trade media outreach, and scientific audience targeting for lab equipment manufacturers and distributors.

“TCG didn’t throw generic tactics at us. They dug into our data, translated complex analytics into real decisions, and built a strategy we could actually execute. We saw results within the quarter.”

“Your vision becomes our mission — and preparation is the only real communications strategy.”

— Debbie Gunning & Jamie Grabert, Co-Founders
People first, always

Every client is unique, with individual goals, challenges, and aspirations. We build lasting partnerships by truly listening before we recommend, and by making your success the measure of ours.

Preparation over reaction

In communications, the work that matters most happens before the crisis. We build the infrastructure — playbooks, stakeholder maps, monitoring systems — that makes the hard moments manageable.

Diversity drives better outcomes

We believe diverse teams and perspectives produce better strategy. This shapes how we work internally, how we approach problems, and what we look for in the partners we bring to engagements.

Honest over comfortable

We tell clients what we actually think — including when the answer is "you don’t need us for this" or "that strategy won’t work." Trust is built on honesty, not on telling people what they want to hear.
