We help brands and market artists, athletes, on-air media personalities, and intellectual talent by increasing discoverability, visibility, and publicity.
Our clients include journalists, authors, speakers, academics, change and thought experts (thought leaders and thought partners), and public officials.
We position emerging and established public figures for agency representation and on-air opportunities in broadcast radio, television, and high-profile podcasting. We focus on enhancing and curating our clients' online presence and offline reputations.
Beyond branding, marketing, and positioning, we represent authors, speakers, and media commentators as their intellectual talent managers.
Your public presence should reflect the substance of your work. JCS Strategies helps accomplished and emerging voices communicate their expertise, build professional credibility, and pursue opportunities aligned with their goals.
Founded by Jordan Carlton Schaul, PhD, the firm combines visibility and publicity strategy with practical execution. Our work connects the way you are presented online with the way you are introduced to producers, journalists, event organizers, and potential partners.
We select engagements based on alignment, readiness, and our capacity to deliver attentive service.
"The power of visibility cannot be underestimated."
Develop a clear, compelling presence through your website, professional materials, and content.
Strengthen how people find and understand your expertise through search, consistent profiles, and structured information.
Pursue relevant earned-media coverage, interviews, and commentary opportunities with tailored positioning and outreach.
"I know that one's visibility is very high on television, even with an unsuccessful show!"
We optimize our clients' digital brand marketing and PR reach by integrating owned media (business and eponymous websites and socials), earned media (press), and paid media (advertisements) with offline activities and career development opportunities.
Our professional writers and marketers have advanced credentials and years of experience in the digital arts and sciences. They execute the tactical aspects of reputation development and management and provide technical support.
We’re a boutique strategy and technical consultancy dedicated to showcasing the expertise of emerging and established public figures through discoverability, visibility and publicity.
