What We Built Together

We didn’t build a brand. We built a strategic asset:

• Developed and launched a LinkedIn newsletter tailored for digital leaders—focusing on AI integration, enterprise transformation, and tech alignment
• Created an outbound system targeting innovation councils, boards, and global CXOs—built around real value, not copy-paste pitches
• Optimized metadata, structured content, and prompt-aware positioning for visibility inside ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, and Copilot
• Crafted a storytelling arc that translated his CIO/CDO legacy into boardroom-ready thought leadership
• Supported the buildout of long-form content pillars, advisory outreach, and partnership positioning
