Boutique Strategy & Creative · Pacific Northwest
Fortune 50 program discipline for the businesses that mean business — without the Fortune 50 overhead.
Spencer G gives small businesses, real estate professionals, trades operators, and startup founders senior-level strategy and execution, applied directly to their growth.
Who I am
I'm Jay Garrison, founder of Spencer G — a boutique strategy and creative firm in the Pacific Northwest. My work sits at the intersection of program leadership, go-to-market strategy, and brand, helping owner-operated businesses plan, brand, and scale with discipline instead of guesswork.
"The expertise of Fortune 50 rigor, at the scale your business actually needs."
For two decades I led complex, cross-functional programs inside some of the world's most demanding organizations: global brand operations at Nike, retail and channel launches at Apple including iPhone 4, partner and telesales programs at Microsoft, and a 30+ program partner portfolio at T-Mobile.
Spencer G takes that enterprise-caliber methodology and adapts it to the scale a real business needs — no junior hand-offs, no bloated retainers. Just senior thinking, documented and executable. Strategy first, execution second.
What I do
Every engagement is scoped to what your business needs right now — and produces documented, executable output, not just advice.
Embedded senior guidance without a full-time executive hire — the strategic partner in the room when the decisions get made.
Lender- and SBA-grade business plans with market analysis, pricing methodology, and financial projections that stand up to scrutiny.
Structure, governance, and momentum for complex initiatives — turning moving parts into a roadmap that actually ships.
Ambiguous launches turned into structured, shippable roadmaps — positioning, sequencing, and the plan to get to market.
A clear, consistent, professional presence — brand identity, positioning frameworks, and social/content strategy that builds authority.
Hundreds of records collected, organized, and analyzed into clear, decision-ready files — evidence you can actually act on.
Selected engagements
Range across industries — with the same discipline behind each. Details anonymized to protect client confidentiality.
For a trades operator preparing to launch, built a lender-ready business plan, a pricing methodology to protect margins, a full brand identity, and an equipment & funding roadmap — the infrastructure a growing operator needs but rarely has time to build.
For a luxury real estate professional, developed a market-leader positioning framework and a social and content strategy that turns local reputation into consistent, visible authority.
Led an in-depth evidence-research engagement — collecting, organizing, and analyzing hundreds of records into a clear, decision-ready file for a client navigating a complex contract dispute.
For a creative business owner, provide ongoing strategic mentoring — brand positioning, operational frameworks, and the accountability that keeps good ideas moving forward.
