Introducing Elevate
A 10-week brand & visibility sprint
ELEVATE is curated for founders, experts and emerging names who are ready to become known for what they know - with the positioning, strategy and visibility to match their expertise.
Let’s build the kind of personal brand that opens doors - even when you’re not in the room!
ELEVATE is a 10-week, high-touch accelerator for emerging talent, founders, creatives and experts who are ready to sharpen their positioning, build their authority and become more visible to the people who matter.
This is for the emerging name in the room. The one with something to say - and the credibility to back it up - but who’s either still defining their “thing,” or finally ready to claim the space that’s theirs for the taking.
No fluff. No “visibility” without substance. Just the real work that puts you where you belong - in demand, in flow, and in front of the right people.
ELEVATE combines personal brand strategy, done-with-you PR, and real-time coaching -delivered in an intimate group format with plenty of access to me along the way.
It’s designed to accelerate and amplify your visibility with purpose, polish, and powerful positioning.
You’ll walk away knowing what you want to be known for, how to communicate it, where you need to be seen and what to do next, with the tools, contacts and strategy to keep building momentum.
Who is ELEVATE for?
✓ Building a personal brand but unsure where to focus
✓ You know there’s more to your story, expertise or perspective, but need help turning it into a clear personal brand
✓ Craving more credibility, visibility and aligned media opportunities
✓ Ready to pitch yourself but need guidance and support to do it right (along with key media contacts!)
✓ Want someone beside you who will help you execute, not just hand you another strategy and send you on your way
What’s Included
This isn’t a course. It’s a co-pilot. You’ll have me beside you for 10 weeks helping you make decisions, spot opportunities and actually execute.
Here's what’s inside:
1:1 Onboarding Strategy Call (Week 1)
To map your personalised visibility game plan - no cookie-cutter BS here. We meet you where you are right now.
Weekly Momentum Emails
Toolkits, micro-tasks, voice notes and ChatGPT prompts to move you forward without overwhelm.
Fortnightly Group Zooms
Live coaching, hot-seat time, and deep-dive sessions on strategy, media, content, and growth.
Monthly 1:1 Check-ins
Dedicated time during the program to review what’s working, refine your strategy and focus on what you need next.
Pitch + Content Review
Done with you - we refine your ideas and content until they land.
Strategic Media Reach-Out
Where there is a strong, strategically relevant media opportunity, we go for it. You’ll have my media experience, relationships and network behind you throughout ELEVATE, not just at a designated point in the program.
Little Black Book Access
Think: curated media, podcast, and brand contacts relevant to you.
Final 1:1 Wrap Session + Post-ELEVATE Plan
Leave with a clear roadmap to continue the momentum well beyond Week 10.
Remote Access to Me (Dianne)
Think of me as your strategic side woman for the full 10 weeks. Bring me the idea, opportunity, pitch, post or “Dianne, what do you think?” moment, and we’ll work through it together.
Private WhatsApp Group
Your direct line to me (and the group!) for ideas, questions, wins, accountability and support throughout the 10 weeks.
AND…. a very special (and valuable!) BONUS…
The ELEVATE Runway
Your 10 weeks may finish, but your media momentum doesn’t have to. From January–March 2027, I’ll continue to keep you in mind for relevant reactive media opportunities that cross my desk and act on your behalf to set the opportunity up.
Questions?
-
Nope! You can be mid-build or even still defining your niche. We meet you exactly where you’re at.

Absolutely. Between the onboarding call, monthly check-ins, and ongoing WhatsApp support, you’ll have plenty of personalised support.

Not exactly - but you will be pitched for media if aligned, and as early as Week 2! A chunk of this program will be empowering you to do your own pitching during and beyond ELEVATE.

Client Love
“Every week I tell someone how much of a positive impact Dianne had on my brand. ”
I was hesitant to work with a PR agency, but Dianne’s skillset is so versatile, not only did she source incredible media opportunities, but secured partnership opportunities and speaking engagements. Dianne is down to earth, kind and so easy to work with, and somehow has a magical power that makes you jump out of your comfort zone without even realising it!
