My clients hold senior-level positions on the business side of all the major media companies. They lead functional areas, including Distribution, Strategy, Business Development, Corporate Development, Ad Sales, Marketing, Operations, IT, Corporate Communications, Programming, and Finance. They also run the media practices of professional services, consulting, VC firms, and agencies. Some are CEOs of tech companies that have developed solutions for media companies. Here's why working with me is different: 1. I specialize in working with media (TMT) executives who want to evolve their leadership brands in this rapidly changing industry or parlay their experience into another sector. This enables me to discern what will be relevant and compelling to your target audience. 2. I offer a blend of career coaching/strategy and done-for-you career marketing with my proven, three-step process. Before I write your stand-out executive resume and LinkedIn profile, I take the critical first step of helping you think through who you are, what you want, and what you uniquely offer. Then, I put this into a written Brand Summary that you will use for your career management for years to come. 3. One of my highest values is originality. I approach every project like a blank sheet of paper so that what I create for you is a genuine representation of you—in your voice. My clients have the courage to present themselves in ways that aren't like everyone else.

Clients return to me years later and/or refer me to their friends and family. I also have an extensive background in working with sales and marketing executives. I'm happy to discuss if it makes sense for us to partner on your project. **

Do you have a business story to tell? I provide ghostwriting and editorial services for executives and consultants who are building their thought leadership. As a published author, I have shaped book proposals for clients that resulted in business book contracts with their publisher without an agent. My clients now have published books that open doors to business and speaking opportunities. Services include: * Ghostwriting or editing articles * Writing your non-fiction book proposal and researching targets. This includes creating your table of contents, writing/editing two sample chapters, competitive analysis, and collaborating on your marketing plan * Planning your editorial calendar to fit your brand, goals, and schedule * Ghostwriting the foreword to your non-fiction book, including interviewing the person who agreed to do your foreword. I can also help you determine the best candidates for your book's foreword and how to approach them Set up a discovery call with me to learn more about how I can help you share your story and earned knowledge with a wider audience: https://calendly.com/brandedbio/discovery
