Thought Leadership for Rebels, Renegades,
and Mavericks

We help extract your best BIG ideas and craft the strategies to share them.

Simple. Strategic. Successful.

You've never had a PhD in your pocket... until now. Peruse the TL;DR version of our services menu:

Ghostwriting

You have a book inside of you, full of perspective, experience, and expertise. What you’re missing is the right support, guidance, and strategy to bring it to fruition.

Books provide credibility and establish thought leadership. We’re experts at identifying and articulating your signature ideas so the world can be inspired by your brilliance.

Let’s start writing your book.

Thought Leadership Strategy

Taking BIG ideas and presenting them in a compelling way that your ideal audience will respond to is a complicated task, especially when you have so many other responsibilities.

Ideas are great, but figuring out exactly what’s great about them is the key to content that stands out.

In a world where SEO optimization and skim readers reign supreme, how do you even begin to present yourself as an expert?

That’s where we come in.

Whether you’re writing a long-form article, a non-fiction business book, a social media post, or even your manifesto…

We can show you where, when, and how to pitch your writing so your ideal audience will be devouring your content.

When we’re done, our thought leadership strategy will kindle curiosity, strengthen your platform, and evoke action in your most ideal clients.

The ghostwriter who gets inside your head

Since launching The Pocket PhD, we've worked with clients ranging from powerhouse CEOs who are over the status quo to accidental change-makers who saw the next trend first and changed their industries forever… because they said it first, because they wrote about it, because they spoke up.

And we can tell you—it’s a total mind meld when the process works.

Getting into the heads of our clients (in a non-creepy way, promise!) and capturing what’s uniquely amazing about their work is what we live for.

“Emily is [our] secret weapon!”

So much more than a ghostwriter. You get an ideas partner

Listen, I don’t sugar coat things—I'm f*cking phenomenal at what I do.

That means, when we work together, you can expect to:

  • Increase your credibility
  • Share your expertise with confidence and ease
  • Focus on your business and reap the rewards of a high ROI
