Our Mission: Leveling the Playing Field
Your Unfair Advantage.
Genius Search Marketing was founded with a clear goal: to empower small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) with the sophisticated competitive intelligence and strategic planning once reserved for large corporations.
We saw too many businesses wasting resources on ineffective campaigns simply because they lacked access to deep market insights before launching.
We're here to change that.
The "Strategy Miner" Approach: Unearthing Your Advantage
We Learn Then Launch.
We're not just marketers; we're Strategy Miners. We genuinely love digging deep into your data, your market, and crucially, your competitive landscape.
Our process always starts with The Genius Audit™ – a tailored diagnostic phase where we unearth the critical insights needed to build your custom Blueprint.
This foundational "Learn Then Launch" approach ensures your campaigns are strategically sound, competitively aware, and positioned for maximum ROI from day one.
Partnering for Peak Performance
Collaboration Drives Results.
We thrive on collaboration and believe the best results often come from combined expertise. Genius Search Marketing frequently partners with talented boutique marketing and advertising agencies, acting as their specialized digital strategist and providing deep analytical support to enhance their client offerings.
We also work directly with ambitious SMBs, becoming their dedicated digital strategy partner focused entirely on achieving their unique goals.
Our Core Values
Strategic | Insightful | Client-First | Reliable | Collaborative
About Brett Gutzmer
Founder & Chief Nerd
Yes, before becoming a 'Strategy Miner,' Brett spent years performing stand-up comedy for over half a million people. That experience, understanding what truly connects with an audience, paired with deep analytical training (Economics & Business degree) and a decade in digital, informs the unique, data-driven approach of Genius Search Marketing.
Combining this real-world audience understanding with his formal education, Brett founded Genius Search Marketing in 2019 with a client-first focus. As a 'Strategy Miner,' he prioritizes deep competitive intelligence alongside data analysis to build effective Blueprints, ensuring strategies are not just data-driven, but competitively sharp and tailored to your goals. He is Google Ads Certified (Search, Display, Shopping) and dedicated to crafting plans that deliver measurable growth.
While my professional philosophy is always 'Client First,' I ultimately answer to 'Upper Management.' You can see her own brilliant work here:
