Thought Leadership & PR

We'll draw a bright line between you and your rivals and position you (or your C-levels) as industry leaders. No self-proclaimed expertise here—we want your true knowledge to shine through. We'll hone in on where your expertise fits in the way your industry is changing and consider your key stakeholder's pain points so we can perfectly position you to slay the dragons they don't even know they're facing yet.

We'll use our connections to leverage guest articles, interviews, speaking gigs, podcast appearances—you get the point. Media pitching, press releases, end-to-end outreach and distribution. We're passionate about science, technology, Web3, blockchain, and all kinds of emerging tech. We get it and can help explain it.

(Want to know a secret? We only work on true collaborations—not pay-to-display. OK, we'll admit there have been no Kardashians in our past, but we've structured some pretty creative deals.)

Marketing Strategies That Actually Work

Ever felt like a sales funnel is simple "in theory" yet when you sit down to plan it, you can't quite figure out the crucial sequences? You're not alone, my friend! We have years of experience crafting funnels that have generated significant bank. Webinar funnel? Check. Got a freebie to pass around? Heck yeah. Hosting a virtual summit? We've done that. How about a two-way SMS funnel that books appointments across three different locations? Yep, we've done that too. (Are you catching on that we LOVE technology?) We live, eat, sleep, and breathe data.

Every client gets a dashboard measuring the tweaky variables—some you'll understand and care about, others we'll only care about. But every metric will help unlock the mystery of that elusive question: "Is it working?" We believe in qualitative goals too. What's the product feedback? How are your reviews? That word "social" in social marketing is real to us.

If saying "Good Morning!" on the platform formerly known as Twitter is your jam, we might not be your peeps.

Advertising That Converts

Ever felt like Facebook, Google, LinkedIn, TikTok, Pinterest and Instagram ads are simple "in theory" yet you've flushed thousands down the toilet trying to figure them out? We KNOW how frustrating digital ads can feel.We take pride in delivering results and know the methods to grow effectively, without wasted ad spend. For every $1 you invest, it's more than possible to see that turn into $5, $10, or $25 back as profit in your pocket. We've got done-for-you ads including gorgeous creative, amazing copywriting, extensive audience research and testing, custom targeting, pixel placement, and ad optimization with detailed reporting plus hands-on support so you never feel out of the loop.

Here's the thing though: we're not "media buyers," we're partners. Ads might not fix your lead problem if the quality isn't there, or the SEO is off, or there's too much friction in the funnel. The ecosystem has to work to get results. We'll tell you if you're not ready. We'll tell you when to pivot. That's our job.

‍Oh, and your ads will never smell like ads—unless that's the strategic point.

Copywriting That Turns Heads

While people love to swoon over beautifully designed web pages, the real key to conversions? Copywriting that speaks so perfectly to your ideal customer they cannot WAIT to work with you. The reality? Most copywriting misses the mark. We have team members with proven conversions so you don't sink time, money, and effort into campaigns that won't hit. We're experts in helping you identify and craft your brand story, your hook, and your unique brand advantage—and a huge part of this success comes down to asking the right questions.

We write guest blogs, white papers, infographics, ebooks, podcast and video scripts—all in ways that help SEO. Just watch your content shoot up Google's ranking page!

‍Oh, and we like science, and technology, and blockchain, NFTs and other webby things. We can produce high-value, informative content for whatever industry you're in—even if you want 200 AI prompts. JK. (Sorta.)

AI Strategy

Let's be real: AI is either going to amplify your genius or become another shiny object that distracts you from actually getting work done. The difference? Strategy. We help people of genius integrate AI in ways that make sense for your specific expertise. Not generic ChatGPT prompts everyone's using. Not some AI tool that doesn't understand your industry's nuance. We're talking about custom implementations that leverage your knowledge base, streamline your processes, and actually make you more efficient without stripping away what makes you uniquely valuable. Want to train a model on your methodology so your team (or your clients) can access your expertise at scale? Build an AI-powered content engine that sounds like you and maintains your authority?

Automate the tedious parts of your workflow so you can focus on the genius-level thinking only you can do? We can help you figure out what's actually worth implementing versus what's just hype. We geek out on LLMs, custom GPTs, automation workflows, and emerging AI tools. We'll help you cut through the noise, identify real opportunities, and implement solutions that give you a competitive edge—not just another subscription eating your budget.

‍Yes, we use AI extensively in our own work. No, we don't let it replace strategic thinking. And no, we won't try to sell you on every new AI tool that drops. Promise.

Podcast, Music & Media Production

We all have hidden talents! The Clever Muse Studio helps musicians, venues, festivals, filmmakers, and artists along with speakers, authors, coaches, and consultants—basically anyone who's got something to say (or sing!) with advertising and promotion. Starting a podcast? Yep, we've done that. Want butts in seats? Check. Need views, clicks, or downloads? We can craft a strategy—if you're serious.

If you need help making your podcast, music, videos, gigs, tours or events feel more like a profession and less like an expensive hobby, we can help. No, we (probably) won't run your social media... but we can help build a strategy. No, we won't write your songs for you (well, even though we could)... but we can design a great promo and distribution plan for all the major platforms.

‍And, hell, we host a great party!

How we're different

2

We're partners, not vendors.

Our superpower? Developing talent into thought leadership. We know how to position complex expertise, create messaging that educates without overwhelming, and build campaigns that attract sophisticated clients who understand your value.

We're spending tens of thousands per day on media and ad spend. Meaning? We've got serious skin in the game and "in the trenches" experience. This isn't theory.

3

We're geeks.

We can get really math geeky and talk about your latent and following graphs. We experiment on the social graph but leverage the interest/interaction graph as well. We believe sales are made by brands—not ads—and that social is a playground of pure gold.

1

We don't do cookie-cutter marketing.

We specialize in working with people of genius—scientists, engineers, architects, chefs, musicians, techie folks—experts who've mastered their craft and are ready to build the influence and client base their work deserves.
