We teach you how to show yourself

Positioning and bio

What you are known for, in one line that survives an editor. Bio, byline and speaker blurb rewritten to match.

Media kit and speaker profile

Headshot, credentials, prior coverage and the two numbers you are willing to put on record.

Media training

Practice ahead of journalist calls and TV appearances, so the camera meets you prepared.

Prompts when news breaks

What to say when your category is in the news, and how often, so the account is not silent between announcements.

A transparent process at every step

Step 1

Plan around the goal

A plan built around where you want to be known, agreed on a call, and you approve every outlet. Ghostwriting and angle development in your voice.

Step 2

Run to a calendar

Recurring interviews and columns in the titles your market reads; awards, lists, podcasts and stages worldwide, applied for on a calendar, not remembered a week late.

Step 3

React the same day

When a story breaks in your category, you are put forward the same day.

Step 4

See what it did

Monthly reports with the live links and what they did, in a format you can forward to a board. Between quarters, the plan is rebuilt on results.
