You don’t have to do it all on your own.
Mandy and Rob McIntyre founded McIntyre Consulting Group to support teams that don’t have the full capacity to crush their marketing and organizational goals.
Here are a few of the industry verticals we’ve worked with most:
Government agencies
Healthcare providers, payers, software, and services
Higher education
Marketing, PR, and content/creative agencies
Membership associations
Nonprofits and community-based organizations
Here’s what our clients keep telling us in the discovery call:
You have a packed set of priorities and stakeholders to deliver them to—with absolutely zero time to get it all done.
You know you need to be active on social, but you don’t know where to start; cue endless freezing.
You’re feeling overwhelmed by the pressure to execute on your content strategy and highest priority projects.
You’ve got legacy content systems in place, and you just don’t know how to elevate your marketing and brand visibility to the next level.
You’ve got ideas. You’ve tried to work with internal employees or freelancers to activate them, but you’ve been burned.
One word in common here? Overburdened.
You don’t have to work 10+ hour days just to keep your business afloat.
The efficiency and impact you crave but can’t get without slaving away? It can come easy with the right partners by your side.
Unlike generic consulting firms that see you as a number in a sea of other clients, McIntyre Consulting Group is a small but mighty team that ditches stale tactics for customized solutions tailored to you.
Without all the hand-holding, we work quickly to understand what you do and why it matters, and then activate only the tactics that drive results while making your budget and team’s work go farther.

The Problem
⋆
The Problem ⋆
Trying to do everything, everywhere, all at once?
The fastest ticket to burnout.
With your own business to run and a calendar filled with meetings, where do you find the time to work on marketing, content creation, learning new social channels, and project launches?
*Record scratch*
Real life is calling.
Deep down, you know there just isn’t time to do it all in house.
Trying to DIY every aspect of your own marketing and organizational initiatives, while managing everything your clients need means something suffers.
Too often, the things you aren’t as experienced in come last, whether it’s content creation, social media management, change management, or website updates.
Nobody wants watered-down, generic copy that people read and just think “meh” because it was written in a hurry.
And a project that gets launched will never work if it’s incomplete and not tied to KPIs that matter.
We learn your brand and clients fast, then prioritize your burning needs first.
We totally get it—smaller agencies, teams, and solopreneurs need a trusted hand when it comes to content marketing and client needs.
And unlike other consulting firms that require high retainer fees, we operate by the hour or by project scope, understanding what it means to be resourceful and impactful at the same time.
Our Values
⋆
Our Values ⋆
We value what’s human, meaningful & real.
Responsiveness
We’ll never leave you hanging. We always understand the assignment and don’t require hand-holding to get the job done quickly and the way you like it.
Credibility
We cringe when we hear scary stories about freelancers plagiarizing blogs and social posts, making up sources, or throwing in unlicensed images. We won’t do that to you. We stay credible and trustworthy, always.
Quality
Even working quickly, we value quality above all else. It’s not just about checking the box—it’s getting you results and differentiating your content from everything else.
Transparency
We’ll never pass your questions off to a junior associate. (One of the perks of a small shop.) We hold ourselves accountable to be open and honest with you, because we respect your time and expertise.
“Mandy creates content that builds brands and engages the people who matter to them.
She's a creative and inspiring leader of people, processes and projects. She fearlessly adopts new technology to work better and smarter.
Mandy can break down massive initiatives into manageable bits and rally a team to tackle each one with imagination and discipline. Her superpower? She always maintains calm, even in face of rapid deadlines and multiple deliverables.”

Hi! We’re Mandy and Rob McIntyre, founders of McIntyre Consulting Group. Alongside our trusted partners, we become the full-service team you need to bring your content and project management efforts to fruition.
For all things content, marketing, and communications:
Over the past two decades, I’ve worked in-house at companies leading creative comms, brand direction, and corporate marketing, including as Director of Content & Brand with ClearDATA and Director of Communications & Sr. Consultant at IEM.
I’m ready to jump in and be your go-to content and marketing specialist.
I confidently call myself a marketing and comms generalist. I can tackle all the different forms of content you need to execute on, so you can build lasting connections with your audience.

During the COVID pandemic, I grew my LinkedIn presence to an audience of 20,000+. I know what it takes to create a sharp brand voice and tell meaningful stories. I love hunkering down and doing this work—I partner with small- and medium-sized businesses in all industries, taking what I’ve learned in marketing and communications leadership roles and translating your strategy into stories that build brand equity.
For organizational change and project management:
As an accomplished consultant with more than 20 years of experience supporting public and private sector organizations, I thrive when helping clients tackle their most pressing challenges.
From business process improvement and change management to strategic planning and high-impact meeting facilitation, I help organizations translate vision into execution.
I specialize in aligning cross-functional teams, engaging diverse stakeholders, and building practical roadmaps that drive measurable results.

Thanks to my Project Management Professional (PMP) certification, I leverage methodologies like agile project management to help teams identify obstacles and opportunities, then activate strategies to create long-term solutions.
No project is too big or too small. I partner with government agencies and companies for timely strategic engagements as well as long-term multimillion-dollar programs. I love helping teams manage day-to-day challenges that can get in the way of growth.
