WE TURN EXPERTS INTO THOUGHT-LEADERS THROUGH SECURING EARNED MEDIA EXPOSURE
Why
THOUGHT-LEADERSHIP
THROUGH MEDIA
EXPOSURE?
Purchasing decisions don’t follow a linear funnel anymore. They happen in the messy middle of visibility, a dynamic mix of exploration and evaluation of your content. (Google Study)
Without thought-leader visibility, you get Bell Curve opportunities (standard)
With thought-leader visibility, you get Power Law opportunities (massive, outsized rewards)
Before a potential customer trusts a brand enough to buy from them, they need to have spent:
7 hours engaging X 11 interactions X 4 different locations
This repeated exposure across multiple platforms builds a 'parasocial' relationship with your audience (where they feel like they know you).
Media exposure not only helps you hit that 7/11/4 of awareness, but its reputable endorsement promotes you as a thought-leader, establishes your authority, and gets you in front of mass audiences.
Having a Thought-Leader brand
gives you
DISPROPORTIONATE SUCCESS
Our Approach
01.
THOUGHT-LEADER BRAND POSITIONING
We uniquely position you as the thought-leader that you are. We identify what makes your expertise truly special, we audit and establish your online thought-leader brand, then craft pitches that media outlets can't resist.
02.
TARGETED MEDIA VISIBILITY
We find and secure you media interviews with reputable outlets whose audiences are YOUR audience, to establish your authority and 10X your awareness.
03.
EXPANDED REACH & IMPACT
The media interviews we secure you compound and your thought-leadership status solidifies. We strategically build momentum toward your goals as you reach wider audiences and make a bigger impact.

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
“UPLVL has helped me secure amazing interviews with reputable outlets like Forbes, Cosmo, Newsweek, and HuffPost. A highlight was my TV appearances in the U.S., which are major achievements for my brand. The most valuable part of working with UPLVL is that they handle all the outreach, scheduling, and coordination—I just show up for the interviews. It saves me so much time and effort. Being featured in respected publications like Forbes and Cosmo has added a lot of credibility and authority to my business. I’d definitely recommend UPLVL to anyone looking for media exposure.”

“Before UPLVL, my brand was stuck in ‘stagnation city,’ but now my reach is expanding, my business feels alive again, and opportunities keep rolling in—writing, speaking, and shining in ways that feel natural to me. The most valuable thing has been seeing my name and face in print, in publications I always dreamed of but didn’t know how to reach, which has been incredible for my confidence and my business, including a TV appearance I’m so proud of. Kayley and the UPLVL team are phenomenal; they truly care, and their support has been unmatched. Every opportunity reminds me why investing in myself and this partnership was the best decision I’ve made.”

Their hands-off, concierge-style service allowed me to focus on my business while they secured high-profile placements in outlets like Success, Forbes, and Business Insider. The exposure increased my credibility, boosted my reputation, and became valuable assets to attract more business. Thanks to UPLVL, I’ve seen a tangible increase in client inquiries and expanded my professional reach, including a highlight of being featured in a print magazine for the first time.”
