Personal Branding Agency
We're a personal branding agency helping founders and thought leaders turn their experience into a clear public profile through relevant stories and useful expert commentary.
I'm Alison. You don't need an opinion on everything. We'll find the subjects you know well, the people you want to reach and the evidence that makes your contribution worth hearing.

What a personal branding agency can do for you
A strong profile should reflect the work you've actually done. Our Founders & Thought Leaders offer helps you:
- Explain what you stand for and where your experience gives you something useful to say.
- Develop thought leadership that answers real questions, rather than adding more noise.
- Share your founder story with journalists in a way that links personal experience to wider business issues.
- Prepare for interviews and commentary opportunities so you can speak clearly and confidently.
- Connect media coverage, articles and your own website into a consistent account of your expertise.
Build a profile with something behind it
We'll start with your experience, not a ready-made persona. Then we'll agree the themes and opportunities that fit your goals and the time you can give.

Turn coverage into a useful next step
A feature is a starting point. We'll look at how your website and existing content can help someone who reads it understand your work and decide whether to get in touch.

Make your expertise clear

What does personal branding mean at Adia?
It means helping people understand your expertise, experience and point of view. Our work focuses on your story, media profile and thought leadership, with a consistent message that reflects what you can substantiate.
Do I need to be a founder?
No. We also work with authors, experts and thought leaders who have useful experience to share. The starting point is what you know, who it helps and what you want your profile to achieve.
How much does PR cost?
The fee depends on the work involved, your priorities and the time available. We'll discuss the scope together before proposing a fee. Our guide explains what to consider when planning a PR budget. Read our guide to how much PR should cost.
Can you guarantee interviews or speaking opportunities?
No. Editors, journalists and event organisers make their own decisions. We can develop your story, prepare pitches and help you get ready for conversations, but we won't promise a particular placement.
Be known for what you know.
