After running an agency (done-for-you) for nearly 3 years I've decided that it's nearly IMPOSSIBLE to put clients in "boxes". There is just not 1 solution that fits every company's needs / wants. So in July of 2022 I closed the doors to Thumbstop Media and opened Jake Geller Consulting. 

It is through this venture that I can provide companies with custom project proposals that provide TRUE solutions (not just band-aids). Solutions that will last through market volatility and trends.

Intern

Starbucks

This is where I learned the power of people and what it truly means to "love your job". Throughout my time at Starbucks I did more than serving coffee and taking inventory, I brought a smile to everyone's face. Most mornings I was the first person our customers would interact with, in the afternoon I was the smile on a crappy day, and at night I was the team member laughing in the back as we closed the store.  It was because of this that our team was consistently recognized as top performing!

Barista

I build companies & teams that turn BIG, BOLD ideas into actionable plans resulting in profitable businesses. SaaS Enthusiast. Startup Addict.

Hey there! I'm Jake Geller, CEO of JG Consulting and your go-to guy for creative business strategies and serial entrepreneurship. My journey has taken me from whipping up lattes as a Starbucks barista to helping scale start-ups at all stages where I:  

- Helped Clean Juice open their 1st location and achieve go-to-market processes. 8 years later leading their marketing team on their online rebrand for 140+ locations 🥝

 - Helped Connected Investors develop their partner network, scale from 4 to 60 employees, and develop a prop-tech platform that exited for $80M+ 💰

 - Helped 20+ start-ups create go-to-market processes resulting in a total of $10M+ in pipeline revenue 📈

- Have helped 14 hyper-growth creators (and counting) increase their traffic and revenues through creative operational strategy (resulting in $4M+ ARR in revenues paid to creators since 2021) 🤯

My mission? To help businesses and creators break through limitations and achieve the unimaginable. This growth-hacking aficionado has a knack for working with pre-seed or Series A startups and taking them to new heights. 🚀

Here's what some of my happy clients have to say:

🔥"Jake's work ethic is immaculate and so easy to work together with. He goes out of his way when you ask for help and guidance." 🔥

🔥"His passion and enthusiasm are infectious, and he's someone who elevates those that surround him." 🔥

But enough about me; let's talk about what I can do for you! With a solutions-oriented mindset, out-of-the-box thinking, and killer project management skills, I'm here to help profitably scale… the harder the problem, the more I want to solve it (try me).

When I'm not dominating the business world, you can find me chilling on Wrightsville Beach with my Mini-Bernedoodle, Biggie, or practicing Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu as a Royce Gracie 4-striped brown belt. 🏖️ 🥋

So, if you're ready to take your business to new heights, hit me up for some creative go-to-market strategy, sales strategy, marketing strategy, or project management across departments. Let's conquer the world together! 🌎

My mandate was to find the tools and technology needed to prove that our fledgling service offerings were both possible and scalable.    

Working with Development, Product, UX, and Leadership stakeholders; I conducted research, gathered requirements, and vetted vendors to find the right tools; while creating product roadmaps, implementation plans, and MVP wireframes to execute them.

Student Brand Manager

MacIsaac Hall Vice President

I was lucky to work at PwC and Shopify early in my career, where I was granted the freedom to hone a diverse skill set, from Experience Design to Revenue Operations. However, amidst a sea of type-As, I found it difficult to discern whether I was an integral part, or a cog in the machine. 

Driven by a desire to answer this question, I provided consulting services in the startup space, where the impacts of my contributions - positive or negative, would be impossible to overlook. 

After helping 10+ startups grow and scale to new heights, I had my answer, and co-founded Thumbstop Media with a simple mission: Generate impactful results. 

Our ethos is straightforward: We increase your sales, costing a fraction of a full-time employee, and generating results 3x faster than traditional marketing methods.  

No pressure, no fluff—just honest conversation about whether we can deliver the results you're after. Let’s chat!

The Generative Ai Summit surprised me - most speakers were from banks, insurers, and massive enterprises; not scrappy innovators. 

They spoke a lot on Ai Architecture, which (due to my attention span, and lack of understanding) can become a lullaby. 

This told me that we're officially leaving the wild-west "look what I built last night!" era of Ai. 

I.e.) The grown-ups have entered the chat!

"If this was written by AI, you did a fantastic job."

Our client just got the email reply below from a prospect.

Outbound experts will tell you harsh rejections don't matter - that "no's" are just one step closer to "yes". 

I'm not built like that - and honestly, neither are most people.  

When you send sloppy, generic outreach, people remember. It attaches itself to your brand. 

The prospect below knew they were probably part of an automated email campaign, and they complimented it all the same. 

That felt better than booking a meeting. It meant that the hundreds others in this campaign would feel researched and respected.
