Our Insights

FAQ

The world of thought leadership and book authorship is competitive. Succeeding in business isn’t the same thing as succeeding in publishing.  

To become a thought leader, you need a platform and an established portfolio of media appearances and commentary. Our team of bestselling authors and award-winning editors can help you distill your message and build the visibility you need.

Authorship is worth more than any object you can buy. A book is the ultimate embodiment of intellectual authority, one that belongs only to its author. It has the power to draw talent, clients, funds, and allies to your projects—and your cause.

Most of our clients are leaders in finance, technology, and business. But we don’t limit ourselves to a specific industry.

Engaging, stimulating, & exciting.

No two projects are the same. We’ll flesh out a plan with you and then work based on your needs and goals.

Yes. We have many years of experience crafting compelling stories for family offices and businesses.

If you have a special request, please write to us at [email protected] with a short summary of your project.

We are not publicists. Rather, we are in the business of thought leadership. We craft your story and help build your audience on social media and in books, articles, and newsletters.

Your publicist will take a different role. They can promote and schedule TV and podcast bookings and speaking engagements.

Though we don’t offer these services, we can refer clients to publicists as needed.
