OUR BRAND STORY
TGND Consulting is a full-service PR agency with the goal of helping women juggling motherhood and the challenges of running a business, be seen in spaces and stand out from the competition through strategic brand development, media relations, image consulting, and kick-ass public relations and marketing tactics. Simply put – we turn emerging brands into influencers through innovative ideas.
Our approach is – get clear, get organized, get started. The clients we work with have passion and hustle but may be feeling overwhelmed and unbalanced. They need direction in defining their goals, creating their look, and developing PR strategies that get results. We are a highly skilled team of mompreneurs specializing in media pitching, influencer marketing, brand development, and increasing brand awareness and exposure. We are able to help our clients succeed because we know first-hand the challenges of wearing multiple hats at home and at work. We work with our clients to help them discover their identity and find confidence and peace in their day- to-day.
We view ourselves as an extension of our clients’ brand and members of the team and we take pride in being involved not only in the PR aspect of our clients’ business but understanding how the brand image and digital presence drive marketing goals, company growth, and strengthen sales. For our clients who are ready to grow, we have the resources, contacts, and experience of a larger agency with the personalized service of a boutique firm.
