Who We Help

From the grassroots changemaker to the C-Suite executive, we serve industry leaders looking for a new way to grow their business or their brand by sharing their stories and lessons with the world. First, we help you tell your story in a published book. Then we’ll use your book as a platform to turn you into the Authority in your field by giving you a platform at SXSW Austin to share your message and grow your audience.

What We Do

We are builders of Authority

Authority building is the strategic process of systematically positioning a person or an organization as the leader and expert in their industry, community, and marketplace to command outsized influence over competitors.

An Owned Media Approach

Our media services are designed to work in concert with your Authority building strategy, finding and captivating audiences, then moving them to respond. Your ultimate goal is to be top of mind with your intended audience, effectively positioned as THE Authority in your field. A key objective will be to “own your first page” of organic search results for your name and, where possible, keywords that will drive high-value audiences to you and your message.

Your central content hub to drive these audiences is your personal brand website. We work with you to design a website experience and an integrated media strategy to create, package, and share your message widely beyond your website – through handpicked influencers, communities, and media platforms that can supercharge your growing awareness and credibility, igniting the impact you want to achieve.

How We Do It

Make a Plan

First, you will have an in-depth design session with your team of editorial and brand media experts who will then craft a robust Authority Blueprint that is tailored to your thought leadership goals. With a comprehensive plan in place up front, we can laser focus on delivering results for you – allowing you to focus your energy on the exciting part: watching your authority and your business grow!

Done for You

We wrote the book on it. We partner with thought leaders to help them leverage their expertise and position them to gain the best results from their publishing pursuits and marketing campaigns. While some of the best outcomes are achieved with your feedback and collaboration, we are capable of managing every aspect with little time and energy required from you.

Here We Grow

After creating and publishing your book, we will utilize it as a tool to position you as the authority in your field. Through our partnership with SXSW, we give you a platform to share your story through their trusted brand and distribution platforms.
