Authentic personal branding.
Being invisible online is one of today’s biggest business risks. To reach new customer segments, attract top-tier talent, launch a new product, make a name for yourself and your organization, or all of the above, your voice must be heard.
However, for your voice to have true impact across your team, organization and industry, you need to do more than make noise. You need authentic personal branding.
If you’re ready to build a platform, perhaps you’ve already taken a few steps. Maybe you’ve aimed to hire personal branding services with fragmented support from a ghostwriter, publicist, social media agency, designer, branding firm or some combination of these. However, piecemealed tactics will only get you and your message so far.
To transform your platform into a true magnet for the right audiences and opportunities, you need a cohesive strategy. Our unique and trademarked personal branding services are your one-stop solution to do exactly that.

How we make brand magic happen:
Our specialization is in the individual and our expertise lies in the ability to help you find your authentic personal brand. Our proprietary methodology and trademarked personal branding frameworks are the foundation to an authentic personal brand.
The framework we’re most known for is The Personal Brand Hologram®. This branding exercise helps you to define your brand slogan or headline, gain crystal clarity in your areas of expertise (and your unique approach to that expertise) and ultimately clarify what you want your platform to be known for.
The Personal Brand Hologram® helps you define who you are, what you do, how you do it, and why it all works. It’s the encapsulating definition of you.
The clarity that the Personal Brand Hologram® provides informs every piece of content that branches from your platform. With this clarity, our clients experience:
- The language to connect directly with their target audiences, which leads to
- An established, consistent, and memorable, omni-channel presence, which ultimately results in
- An increase credibility in their industries

Whether you’re a solopreneur, business owner, or a corporate leader, we’ll partner with you to get your message clear and out in front of the right audiences.
Through our personal branding services, we’ll turn your authentic personal brand into a powerful asset that informs your sales pitches, LinkedIn profile, press coverage and more.
Our cohesive strategies are designed to leverage the power of your platform to reach desired goals and objectives. We use both tried and true and trend-setting methods to effectively share your message in all the right places. We’ll identify the right tactics and digital marketing channels to reach new and existing audiences, potential clients, brand evangelists and more.
