    Thought Leadership Inventory

    Let's get to work building on what you have right now...

    The Thought Leadership Inventory is a great way to get an immediate handle on what your organization is already saying in the marketplace. We quickly collate, curate, and compare what you're saying with what you want to say - and how to close that gap. You'll nail down proprietary ideas, concepts, and viewpoints that you'll get known for so that you begin to influence the larger conversation in your industry.

    Opportunity Matrix

    Stand out from the crowd...

    Next we'll work through a competitive scan of what else is being said in your industry. And you know what we'll find? A whole lot of "blah blah blah." The Opportunity Matrix will identify contrarian, compelling ideas so that you zig where everyone else zags. What can you say that others don't, won't, can't, or are afraid to? Checkmate and game over. You win!

    An executive speaking engagement strategy isn't much good if your executives aren't getting booked to speak at key industry events. You know who DOESN'T get picked? People who show up with the boring corporate slide deck, thinly veiled sales pitch, or dry "state of the industry" spiel. You'll get the advanced marketing toolkit of highly paid professional speakers so that your executives get booked, rebooked, and referred.
