We transform under-recognized entrepreneurs into leading voices of authority through carefully curated media placements.Brene Brown writes that “our wholeheartedness depends on the integration of all our experiences, including the falls.”Our core strength (and secret to great publicity) is storytelling with empathy.We helped a client share an essay in HuffPost on how she overcame her perfectionism and burnout that arose from the trauma she experienced as a bi-racial child living in a white community. Her inbox was flooded for weeks afterwards. “What you wrote describes so much of what I felt growing up,” strangers exclaimed.We helped another client write about how her traumatic brain injury turned her into an empathic leader who seeks diversity and inclusion in all spaces. This article went viral on Twitter and Adam Grant reached out to her, asking her to join him for an episode of the WorkLife podcast hosted by the TED Audio Collective.“Alice has helped me elevate my brand and income. She was instrumental in getting me fully booked for podcasts to promote my book and getting my articles accepted in respected media platforms. Beyond placements, my quarterly sessions with Alice help me refine my messaging and discover new stories to tell, not only in my PR efforts, but they also translate into engaging content on my social media platforms. So much of my business marketing success is because of Alice.”- Kelli ThompsonAuthor, award-winning leadership coach, and keynote speaker"If you are looking for a generic email to spam podcast producers, Alice is not your gal.
