Social PR Coach: Helping leaders unleash their expertise

Invisibility leaves opportunity on the table.™
In today’s market, invisibility isn’t just a missed opportunity—it’s a business risk.

Clients, prospects, and future hires make decisions based on what they see. Yet many firms still hide their most powerful differentiator: the people clients want to trust, follow, and hear from.

- 73% of decision-makers trust thought leadership more than traditional marketing

- 60% of buyers will pay more to work with leaders who share insights publicly

- Firms with visible experts grow 5x faster (Edelman–LinkedIn, Hinge Research, 2024)

THE OPPORTUNITY 
At ViviMae Labs, we help firms—especially in financial services and regulated industries—turn leadership visibility into a strategic business advantage.

We help firms:
✔️ Drive revenue by attracting and converting next-gen clients
✔️ Retain top talent and strengthen future leadership
✔️ Boost productivity through aligned, visible leadership
✔️ Reduce risk by showing up credibly and compliantly

When visibility is done right, it builds trust, drives growth, and strengthens the business from the inside out.

THE MOMENT WE'RE IN
The financial services industry is under pressure:

- $84T in wealth will transfer by 2045

- 80% of heirs plan to fire their parents’ advisor

- 71% of Millennials won’t hire an advisor without a visible online presence

- A shortage of 90,000+ advisors is expected by 2034
(Cerulli, Accenture, eMoney, McKinsey)

Next-gen clients and talent expect more, and many mid-sized firms haven’t built the visibility to compete for either.

HOW CLIENTS WORK WITH US
Executive coaching + thought leadership

Group training to develop visible leaders

Integration across brand, PR, and employer visibility

Strategic advisory to align voice, reputation, and growth

CLIENT WINS
We’ve helped leaders land features in The New York Times and MSNBC, secure major conference stages, and break down silos to improve cross-team collaboration.

WHY ME
I’ve been the best-kept secret before—delivering high-impact work without the visibility to match. Once I stepped forward strategically, everything changed.

That experience shaped how I lead this work. I’m not just a strategist. I’m an opportunity creator.

With 15+ years of experience, I’ve worked with brands like AARP, Discovery, and Sony Pictures, spoken at industry conferences, and been featured in ABC News, Adweek, Forbes, PRWeek, and more.

If you're ready to make your leaders your differentiator, let’s talk.
