You build the thing. I’ll talk about it.
Sadie Smiley Media represents women with businesses, expertise, ideas, and stories worth putting in front of a bigger audience. I find the angle. I find the opportunity. I make the introduction. You show up and be brilliant.
TELL ME YOUR STORY →
Your story. My mouth.
Good. I’ll do it.
I find the stories, angles, expertise, and interesting little details hiding inside your business, then I 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.
I don’t represent everyone.
And I don’t want to.
I work exclusively with women. And I take on businesses and founders I genuinely believe I can talk about.
Because that’s the whole job.
If I’m 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, I need to believe what I’m saying.
I’m looking for women with a real story, real expertise, an interesting business, an unexpected perspective, or something they’re doing that deserves more attention.
I do the talking. You do your thing.
Representation starts with figuring out what makes you interesting, then turning that into stories and angles I can actually take somewhere.
I find the story.
We start with a deep-dive conversation. I 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.
I build your media presence.
I turn what I learn into positioning, story angles, interview topics, talking points, professional bios, and a media page I can send when I’m introducing you.
I find the opportunities.
I research podcasts, publications, newsletters, journalists, interviews, expert features, and other audiences where your particular story or expertise makes sense.
I pitch you.
I figure out why you make sense for the person I’m 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, I connect the dots and help coordinate the opportunity. You bring the expertise, personality, and story that made me want to represent you in the first place.
I’m not selling you press. I’m representing you to the press.
Earned media doesn’t work like advertising. I don’t control what a journalist publishes, who a podcast host books, whether an editor says yes, or when something goes live.
So I don’t promise guaranteed interviews, articles, backlinks, mentions, or placements.
What I can promise is consistent, thoughtful outreach. I’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.
I become your mouthpiece.
This isn’t a list of media contacts dumped into a spreadsheet for you to deal with. I’m the one 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 me 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.
I keep my client roster intentionally small because this only works if I actually know the women I’m 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 I’ve chosen to spend my time telling.
Think I should know your story?
You don’t need a polished pitch. You don’t need to convince
me you’re press-worthy. And you definitely don’t need to
fill out a giant application.
Send me an email. Tell me what you’re building, what you’re
doing differently, or just give me the messy version of why
you think more people should know about you.
If I see a story I think I can genuinely represent,
I’ll get back to you.
Don’t overthink the email. A few sentences or a link to what you’re building is plenty.
