The Social Media Consultant You Can Trust

Finding good marketing advice these days is tricky. The web is FILLED with fly-by-nights claiming you can create ALL your content in an hour (you cannot), you don't need SEO (you do), you don't need social media (you do), and your website is horrible (its probably fine).

So how do you know who you can trust? Jennifer Gardella, Ph.D., has built The Gardella Group with trust as a center value. We know you have been locked into long-term contracts with companies that don't deliver, your accounts have been hijacked, your questions aren't answered, and you might not even have any idea what is posted to your blog and social media accounts (or why).

If all of this sounds familiar, and you are actually thinking "how does she know?" - then you have come to the right place.

So, how do you attract clients into your business? You find a digital marketing consultant who is willing to do the hard work for you without the help of ChatGPT and AI which, can both ruin your website.

You know social media, blogging and SEO are all critical to reach your ideal clients and customers but you don't want to spend the time or exorbitant amounts of money to get it all done.

I want you building your business.

Let me handle the blogging, social media posting, and email writing.

You would rather be building your business than blogging...sharing on social media...writing emails.

You need a social media expert who can walk you and your team through the process and then do the work so your presence builds over time.

You want a writer who can craft engaging social media and blog posts who with an eye on technical details. You want someone who will take the time to understand your business and your goals. You don't want boring drab content posted.

Lastly, you want a social media consultant you can trust ~ who is going to get your approval before posting, explain the process, and treat you (and then write about ) the expert that you are in your field.

For years, I have provided business owners and attorneys with monthly support. I develop a personalized and strategic social media plan and keyword driven editorial calendar for their blog. I correctly set-up your social media accounts and optimize your digital presence so your ideal clients can find you when they need you.

Many clients use her advice and experience to set-up a blog and then develop an editorial calendar to establish a greater internet presence. Using her extensive blogging experience Jennifer is able to help clients understand how to easily and effectively maintain a blog. Jennifer started her blogging career when she founded NJ Divorce Mom blog where she shared her musings as a single mom. Due to her authentic writing, she was asked to write for the Huffington Post. She has migrated her writing to My Steps In Time as it more closely aligns with her life at this time – you can check it out to find out why.
Jennifer’s academic background prepared her well for social media marketing with extensive training in Psychology and Analytics. Jennifer holds a Ph.D. in Educational Psychology and an Ed.M. in Educational Statistics and Measurement from Rutgers University. Near and dear to her heart are the four years she spent on the Rose Hill campus of Fordham University earning a Bachelor of Arts in Economics with a personal concentration in the fun of New York City.

Jennifer has spent years teaching statistics and psychology classes at Rutgers and Rider Universities at both the graduate and undergraduate level. This work helped her hone her skills of explaining complicated concepts breaking down difficult information into digestible pieces for understanding.


Jennifer grew up in East Brunswick, New Jersey and is a proud graduate of that strong public school system. She enjoyed a very successful fundraising career at the Rutgers University Foundation and then eight years at home as a full-time stay-at-home-mom. She attended playgroups and was part of the PTO leadership, a member of the Junior League of Greater Princeton, started three girl scout troops, and served as the President of the Lawrence Township Education Foundation.

In 2011 she started working for a divorce attorney in central New Jersey.
His firm's website had fallen off the first page of Google and the phone had stopped ringing.
Jennifer was charged with learning about the algorithms, blogging, website design and social media. Within 6 months, the website she had redesigned and rewritten was ranking in the first spot on the first page of Google.
The firm's social media presence was building rapidly.


She graduated with her Ph.D. in 2013 and realized her professional passion was to bring her new skill set to small business owners who couldn't hire a full time marketing director and who didn't have the time to learn what to do.
She first launched Your Social Media Hour and then quickly answered the demand by many to take on individual clients.


Sidestep here:
at the time that she started her business she also began a seven year relationship with a man who would become her domestic violence abuser.


Jennifer eventually escaped that relatiosnhip



In her non-screen time you can find her hanging out with her circle of trust, exercising, learning to play the guitar, working on her golf game,
snuggled under a blanket with a great book, or binge-watching the latest craze.
