ABOUT NOT A GURU CONSULTINGLess hacks, more strategy and planning.
At Not A Guru Consulting, we assist small businesses and agile teams in understanding social media without the complicated jargon or expensive retainers. Based in Greater Phoenix, Arizona, our digital marketing consultancy is founded on extensive hands-on experience across various sectors, including startups, agencies, higher education, and the public sector. We concentrate on strategies that prioritize social media, content planning, platform optimization, and the integration of AI in marketing. We're always ahead of the curve when it comes to social media trends. Our clients seek genuine advice, actionable steps, and straightforward execution rather than generic guidance. We provide this through one-time strategy sessions, comprehensive account audits, monthly content calendars, and ongoing strategies and services. Additionally, we collaborate with internal teams to train staff, enhance workflows, and build on existing successes. We combine the strategic insight of a marketing leader with the creative energy of a content producer. Rather than positioning ourselves as social media gurus, we are skilled practitioners who understand what works. We are committed to keeping our approach simple, practical, and truly beneficial—eschewing gatekeeping, meaningless metrics, and the misconception that your TikTok needs to go “viral” to be successful. Our focus is on what benefits your business rather than feeding algorithms. Whether you're a founder aiming to expand your brand or a member of a marketing team overwhelmed with tasks, we’re here to help you concentrate, simplify, and engage effectively where it matters.
