Cara Stewart's Linkedin Analytics

If you’re a founder, CXO, or culture-shifting leader who’s not here to compete—but to change the narrative, lead the conversation, and reshape power—you’re in the right place. I’m Cara Stewart. I don’t “do” PR. I engineer perception, narratives, and momentum for those bold enough to build international and U.S. movements. I’m the persuasion architect and movement strategist leaders call before the world knows their name—or when everything’s on the line. For over three decades, I’ve helped FORTUNE 500 executives, hypergrowth startups, public figures, and public institutions architect strategic narratives that influence perception, attract allies, defuse crises, and build lasting power. From crisis communications and public affairs to go-to-market launches and legacy storytelling, my work lives where message meets movement. In 2002, I co-founded WunderMarx, a top-ranked public relations agency. In 2025, I reimagined it as The Persuasion Collective—where high-stakes communication meets category-defining strategy. I specialize in: • Narrative Acceleration for Founders & Visionary Leaders • Crisis & Reputation Management in High-Risk Moments • Brand Positioning & Messaging for Movement-Builders • Public Affairs, AI & Innovation Policy, and Cultural Influence Strategy • Scaling Thought Leadership into Legacy Platforms I also chair the Costa Mesa Democratic Club and serve on the Board of Governors at Irvine Valley College, continuing my commitment to service, equity, and shaping public dialogue. If influence is currency, I help my clients print power. Let’s build your movement. [email protected] | +1 949-290-5563 P.S.
