About Us

Seventh Gear Communications LLC specializes in helping small businesses tell their story.

We are an integrated marketing consulting company based in Pittsburgh, PA. Formed in 2017, Seventh Gear Communications focuses on helping small businesses create and refine their marketing and communications. We also work as an extension of in-house marketing staff for mid-size businesses.

Communications strategy is the difference between a zero percent engagement rate and a viral post. Even if it's an advertisement or web page with minimal text, what you say and where you say it matters.

This is where Seventh Gear stands out. Our approach to communications is a combination of research, argument strategy, audience analysis, and impeccable attention to detail. We love grammar and sentence structure as much as we love marketing plans, and we integrate the two seamlessly. Our best work is at the intersection of creativity, analytics, and research.

How We Got Started

Founder and Owner Julia Germeyer had ten years of in-house marketing experience before she made the leap to entrepreneurship. What started as freelancing after the birth of her son in 2016 turned into Seventh Gear Communications within six months. Seventh Gear is a blend of Julia's favorite projects, like writing, marketing planning, social media, and more.

Also: Industry trends and predictions Hot topics/current news in industry/marketplace Tips and advice on how to do something better/more efficient/etc There are a few good formats you can use and they include: How-to Top 10 (or whatever) Q&A or FAQ Did You Know Current News & Event(s) Promotions/Announcements Mini case studies Whatever format and topic you choose, remember to include headings, at least one image, and use short paragraphs. Aim for around 400-700 words for a blog, and your title should be catchy and contain at least one relevant keyword. Always spell check; there's nothing worse than putting material out there to promote your expertise and having spelling or grammatical errors in your writing.
