Hickory Grove Consulting

From 1917 Schoolhouse to Data-Driven Growth

Our name comes from a one‑room schoolhouse built in 1917 to shape a commitment to learning, clarity, and evidence. Now, the owner's family home, Hickory Grove Consulting, is driven by the same principles.

Strategic Marketing & Business Solutions

Hickory Grove Consulting is a fractional CMO and marketing operations consultancy built for teams that need outcomes that hold up, not shiny digital marketing projects.

Strategic Planning

When the plan is fuzzy, everyone ships something different. Hickory Grove brings fractional CMO leadership to set the real goal, force the right tradeoffs, and line up the work so decisions stick and outcomes show up in the numbers.

Strategic Planning

Strategy should not feel like a day with a substitute teacher where everyone guesses the assignment. Hickory Grove steps in as the fractional CMO and strategic consulting partner that helps you decide what you are really trying to achieve, what to stop, start, and double down on, and in what order.

Strategic Planning

Digital Growth

When every channel is “on” but growth is not, alignment is the missing ingredient. Hickory Grove connects audience, messaging, content, SEO, email, and paid so campaigns add up, performance is measurable, and wins repeat.

Digital Growth

Web & Digital Operations

When your website and tools misbehave, teams burn time just keeping the lights on. Hickory Grove tightens the operating system behind the work, including CMS workflow, analytics, governance, and integrations, so the stack runs clean, releases go smoother, and results are easier to prove.

How We Work

Clarity

We turn messy problems into a shared plan. Plain language, documented decisions, and honest tradeoffs so the team stops guessing and starts moving.

Outcomes

If work does not tie to a real result, we question why it exists. We focus on a small set of metrics and shape the roadmap around what will actually move them.

Learning

Every phase should leave your team stronger. We recap what we tried, what we learned, and what changes next, and leave simple frameworks your team can reuse.
