Studio Consulting Group

What Studio Consulting Group does

Studio Consulting Group, Inc. is a privately held business consulting firm incorporated in Georgia in 2013 and headquartered at 36 S Lancaster Rd., Savannah, GA. The firm provides advisory services to small businesses in the creative-services vertical — including recording studios, audio post-production houses, video editing suites, advertising agencies, production companies, filmmakers, musicians, designers, talent agents, and record labels — addressing pain points around operational inefficiency, marketing execution, cash flow management, and profitable growth. The company was founded by Bradford B. Jones, who leveraged 35+ years of prior operating experience in audio production businesses (JBS Recording Studios, Catspaw Productions, ProComm Studio Services) to build a niche advisory practice for creative entrepreneurs.

The firm's service portfolio is modular and includes Business Plan Writing, Marketing Plans, Client Advisory Board facilitation, Website Maximization, Human Resources support, Cash Flow Analysis, Media Buying, and Production consulting, plus a free initial business analysis as a no-obligation entry point. No proprietary technology platform, software product, AI/ML capability, app, or API is disclosed; the offering is pure professional services delivered through direct consulting engagement. No patents, trademarks, certifications, or formal partnerships are on record.

The business model is bespoke professional services billing. Engagements are priced hourly, daily, project-based, as a percentage of media buy, or any combination, with payment only initiated after the client agrees to a written proposal. The go-to-market motion is sales-led and relationship-driven: the firm offers face-to-face initial meetings within a two-hour drive of Savannah, GA, and phone/web-casting for remote clients nationwide, with the website (studioconsulting.com) as the primary marketing channel. The firm is founder-owned with no disclosed investors, no funding rounds, no parent or subsidiary entities, and no publicly disclosed headcount or revenue.

Direct peers

• ActionCOACH: ActionCOACH is the world's largest business coaching and consulting franchise, providing operational, marketing, and financial advisory to SMBs. It is directly comparable to Studio Consulting Group in business model (fee-for-service advisory to small business owners), GTM (free initial analysis, sales-led), and target buyer (owner-operators of sub-$5M businesses), though it operates through a global franchise network rather than a single principal.
• EOS Worldwide: EOS Worldwide licenses the Entrepreneurial Operating System and trains certified EOS Implementers who consult with entrepreneurial companies on vision, traction, and accountability. It is directly comparable to Studio Consulting Group in delivering operating-model, organizational-chart, and accountability consulting to small-business owners, but with a more productized and franchise-like model.
• Strategic Coach: Strategic Coach is a fee-based coaching program for entrepreneurs and founders, sold via workshops and quarterly sessions to help owners set strategy, delegate, and grow. It shares Studio Consulting Group's SMB-target, sales-led GTM, and fractional-advisor relationship model, though it operates at higher price points and a larger scale.
• FranNet: FranNet is a franchise consulting firm that helps aspiring entrepreneurs evaluate and select franchise opportunities, providing discovery, research, and matching services on a consultative basis. It overlaps with Studio Consulting Group's small-business advisory model - owner-operators seeking strategic guidance - though it is specialized in the franchise-discovery use case rather than the broader creative-services vertical.
• E-Myth Worldwide: E-Myth Worldwide sells business coaching programs, books, and software (including the E-Myth App) targeted at small-business owners seeking to systematize operations and scale beyond the owner. Its methodology and target audience - small service-business owners frustrated by working in the business rather than on it - closely parallel Studio Consulting Group's positioning and service mix.
• Vistage Worldwide: Vistage is a paid peer-advisory and executive-coaching organization for SMB CEOs and founders, combining monthly group meetings with one-on-one coaching. It serves essentially the same customer as Studio Consulting Group (owner-operators needing strategic and operational guidance) with a more institutionalized, technology-enabled platform.
• SCORE Association: SCORE is a US nonprofit network providing free mentoring, workshops, and templates for small-business owners across every industry. It competes for the same buyer (cash-constrained SMB owners needing operational and marketing help) as Studio Consulting Group, though it does so at zero price through volunteer mentors, which both validates the demand and undercuts paid advisors.
• The Alternative Board (TAB): TAB provides peer advisory boards and one-on-one business coaching for SMB owners, with members paying monthly dues for facilitated advisory groups and private coaching sessions. It is comparable to Studio Consulting Group in serving small-business owners with strategic and operational guidance, and is differentiated only by its structured board-format delivery model.

Regional players

• TAXI Independent A&R: TAXI is an independent A&R company that helps songwriters, artists, and independent labels get signed to music placements, licensing deals, and record contracts. It shares Studio Consulting Group's creative-industries niche (specifically musicians and labels), offering business and career-direction services, though its focus is music-industry-specific rather than cross-vertical small-business consulting.

Broad incumbents

• Gazelles (Verne Harnish / Scaling Up): Gazelles, founded by Verne Harnish, is the parent organization behind the Scaling Up and Rockefeller Habits methodologies, training certified coaches and producing tools (books, software, workshops) used by SMB advisors worldwide. It is a broad incumbent in the same small-business growth-advisory space where Studio Consulting Group operates, with much wider distribution and brand recognition.
