Authority Brand
A COMPREHENSIVE MEDIA, PUBLIC SPEAKING & PUBLISHING PROGRAM FOR VISIONARY LEADERS
The past decade has seen monumental shifts in the world of influence: the media landscape and its impact continue to change alongside media consumption habits, where decisions are made and where our customers congregate continues to decentralise. Many touchpoints are required to create a legacy and impact. Media is just one part.
Smart leaders connect with decision-makers through a portfolio of platforms: attracting editors, government, retailers and brand partners alike. In 2023, influential entrepreneurs and leaders are discovered on TED stages, book tours, LinkedIn and global media.
Enter thought leadership.
Leaders who are willing to be generous with their knowledge and take an authoritative role in their industry enjoy the positive halo effects in their business. To put it very simply. Leaders with a voice enjoy more opportunities.
Having nurtured and mentored many business leaders through this exact combination: Getting published, appearing on speaking circuits, and leveraging this asset via LinkedIn and media, I’m confident that this is a tried, tested and wholly endorsed strategy to outpace competition.
I’ve worked both as a mentor, publicist and ghostwriter on these campaigns and facilitated multiple hundred thousand dollar deals through cold outreach and inboard inquiries, leveraging this combination of influence.
Any one of these activations in isolation is rarely enough. Decision makers reside in niche but very specific places. Every day, I teach experts, leaders and CEOs exactly how to locate them and communicate with impact.
