Gabriel Burch is an entrepreneur and business leader recognized for building Precision Social into one of the Chicago area’s fastest-growing creative-first social media agencies. While still in college, he co-founded Precision Social in 2019 and chose to leave school early to focus on scaling the business. What began as a small creative venture has grown into a full-service agency serving a diverse roster of B2B and B2C clients, including regional and national brands.

Career & Leadership

As President of Precision Social, Burch has shaped the agency’s identity around organic social media, creative strategy, and documentary-style authenticity. His leadership philosophy emphasizes AI integration, systemization, and automation—not as replacements for people, but as tools to free his team to do their best creative and strategic work. By designing efficient systems and placing deep trust in his team, Burch has scaled the company without sacrificing the personal, human touch that defines its client relationships.

Before launching Precision Social, Burch ran Gabriel Burch Productions, LLC, where he honed his craft in storytelling and video production, and also worked as a Video Creator at WBGL. His early work reflected a passion for human stories told with empathy and authenticity—a creative lens he continues to apply to Precision’s brand storytelling today.

These honors reinforced his commitment to authentic, human-centered storytelling, a value that continues to inform the agency’s work.

Burch’s approach blends documentary-style authenticity with entrepreneurial efficiency. He believes the best content is both real and intentional—rooted in genuine human stories but elevated through strategy and production value. His leadership focuses less on personal creation and more on enabling his team to thrive through clarity, trust, and systems that make excellence repeatable.
