“So… what are you going to do now?”
For most people in their mid-twenties in the heat of a career change, this question is the single most daunting question they could be asked. Especially when they’ve spent the last couple of years of their lives dedicating everything they have to one job. That was the case for Gaige Keep.
After four years enlisted of active duty service for the US Marines, Gaige decided that it was time to take his next step in life, without really knowing what that next step was going to look like. He served as a vehicle commander in a CAAT platoon and spent over a year overseas as an active duty infantry Marine. Gaige was honorably discharged in 2018 and awarded the prestigious rank of Sergeant (E-5) based on his exceptional leadership qualities, marksmanship, knowledge, and dedication to his country. But then the question arose… What’s next?
He, along with his new wife, Mikayla started off like any other young couple. They were broke, unsure of what the future had in store. But, they were dedicated to each other, God, and the idea of building a life they loved together. Gaige immediately got to work to provide for his family but found himself stuck in a 9-5 that left him drained, unfulfilled, and craving to use the skills he knew he possessed. He was done with the chapter of life that had him under the authority of someone else. So he decided to change the story. It was time to be his own boss and start a new journey, and the reward since has been nothing short of incredible.
Towards the end of 2018, Gaige founded his now multiple 6-figure agency, GaugeMedia. GaugeMedia specializes in brand growth and consulting for influencers, entrepreneurs and business owners who are looking to build a strong and impactful social media presence. In today’s world, the potential impact of strategic social media marketing can be crucial to the success of a business, and Gaige has made it his mission to be on the frontline of this growing market- and he has succeeded.
GaugeMedia- which began as a business making roughly $750 every two months- is now a $20k/month income stream for Gaige and his family. Working with some of the biggest brands, most noteworthy influencers and a great deal of well known public figures, Gaige handles the management and consulting for their overall social presence and online brand growth. He provides full-scale digital marketing through strategic influencer advertising and SEO optimization, as well as organic and ad-driven Instagram and Facebook growth.
The special thing about GaugeMedia, though? Gaige’s personal relationship with, dedication to, and careful management of his clients. He is all in with his business. He puts his best into everyone he works with because he knows the value and impact of successful marketing. Gaige dedicates time to specifically designing a game plan for each client that targets their specific needs/desires/goals of their brand or business.
Today, GaugeMedia is behind the growth of two billion-dollar brands on Instagram and multiple million-dollar companies; but for Gaige, this is just the beginning. Gaige’s goal is “to show every aspiring entrepreneur that dedication to your dreams and relentless hard work can get you exactly where you want to be, fast.”
The next step for GaugeMedia is to scale to a million dollars in revenue and provide the same sense of success on social media for his growing list of clientele. Gaige plans to achieve this by constantly evolving his business to meet brand needs in an ever-changing, social media-driven, society. From defending his country to making a name for himself among some of the most prestigious names online, Gaige knows the value of pursuing your passions and building a life you love. He’s at the forefront of his industry and is paving the way for a future full of adventure, experience, and radical success.
