You build the thing. We’ll talk about it.
Sadie Smiley Media represents women with businesses, expertise, ideas, and stories worth putting in front of a bigger audience. We find the angle. We find the opportunity. We make the introduction. You show up and be brilliant.
TELL US YOUR STORY →
Your story. We make some noise.
Good. We’ll do it.
We find the stories, angles, expertise, and interesting little details hiding inside your business, then we look for places they belong.
Podcasts. Digital publications. Online news outlets. Newsletters. Founder profiles. Expert features. Interviews. Roundups. Guest opportunities. And other people’s audiences that should probably know who you are.
We don’t represent everyone.
And we don’t want to.
We work exclusively with women. And we take on businesses and founders we genuinely believe we can talk about.
Because that’s the whole job.
If we’re going to email a podcast host and tell them they need to meet you, pitch your story to an editor, or introduce your expertise to someone else’s audience, we need to believe what we’re saying.
We’re looking for women with a real story, real expertise, an interesting business, an unexpected perspective, or something they’re doing that deserves more attention.
We do the talking. You do your thing.
Representation starts with figuring out what makes you interesting, then turning that into stories and angles we can actually take somewhere.
We find the story.
You’ll start with a deep-dive conversation with Sadie so we can get to know the person behind the business. We want the weird details, turning points, numbers you’re comfortable sharing, opinions, failures, expertise, and the things you’ve stopped noticing because they’re just normal life to you.
We build your media presence.
We turn what we learn into positioning, story angles, interview topics, talking points, professional bios, and a media page we can send when we’re introducing you.
We find the opportunities.
We research podcasts, publications, newsletters, journalists, interviews, expert features, and other audiences where your particular story or expertise makes sense.
We pitch you.
We figure out why you make sense for the person we’re contacting, write the pitch, send it, and follow up. You don’t have to sit there trying to convince strangers that you’re interesting.
You show up.
When someone says yes, we connect the dots and help coordinate the opportunity. You bring the expertise, personality, and story that made us want to represent you in the first place.
We’re not selling you press. We’re representing you to the press.
Earned media doesn’t work like advertising. We don’t control what a journalist publishes, who a podcast host books, whether an editor says yes, or when something goes live.
So we don’t promise guaranteed interviews, articles, backlinks, mentions, or placements.
What we can promise is consistent, thoughtful outreach. We’ll look for opportunities, put your name in the right rooms, tell your story well, follow up, and keep looking for reasons other people’s audiences should know who you are.
We become your mouthpiece.
This isn’t a list of media contacts dumped into a spreadsheet for you to deal with. We’re the ones doing the outreach and representing you.
This takes more than one email.
Representation is an ongoing relationship, not a one-time press blast.
New clients begin with a three-month commitment so there’s enough time for our team to learn your story, develop your positioning, build your media assets, research the right opportunities, pitch consistently, follow up, and learn which angles are getting attention.
We keep our client roster intentionally small because this only works if we actually know the women we’re representing.
New representation begins with a three-month commitment. Because the goal isn’t to blast your name everywhere. It’s to build momentum by consistently putting the right stories in front of the right people.
Women. Period.
Not because women are the only people with good stories. Because they’re the stories we’ve chosen to spend our time telling.
Think we should know your story?
You don’t need a polished pitch. You don’t need to convince
us you’re press-worthy. And you definitely don’t need to
fill out a giant application.
Send us an email. Tell us what you’re building, what you’re
doing differently, or just give us the messy version of why
you think more people should know about you.
If we see a story we think we can genuinely represent,
we’ll get back to you.
Don’t overthink the email. A few sentences or a link to what you’re building is plenty.
