Case Studies
Real Leaders. Real Results.
Our clients don’t just get visible. They get results — measurable authority growth that translates into new business, talent attraction, and category leadership.
Case Study
The Challenge
Greg Boone had the expertise, the track record, and the speaking invitations. What he did not have was a brand that converted any of it into revenue. In a crowded consulting and agency market, visibility without positioning is just noise — and Greg was generating plenty of visibility with little to show for it. Speaking opportunities were coming in but not closing. His digital presence did not reflect the caliber of the firm he was building. Without a clear authority narrative, Walk West’s growth was capped by how many rooms Greg could personally walk into.
The Solution
EBA built the strategic foundation Greg’s visibility had been missing. We developed a core positioning narrative that defined his authority lane, created a thought leadership platform that gave his expertise a home, built a speaking strategy with targeted outreach to the right stages, and secured media placements that put his name in front of the audiences that matter. Every piece of his digital presence was realigned to reflect who he actually is — and what Walk West actually delivers.

“I’ve spent my career at the intersection of technology and growth. What I needed was a team that understood all of that and could help me build something that would outlast any single speaking engagement or LinkedIn post. ExecBrand Authority did that.”
— Greg Boone, CEO, Walk West
Key Takeaway
Greg didn’t need better expertise. He had that. He needed a strategic visibility platform that positioned him as the category authority and gave every speaking engagement, media placement, and digital touchpoint a job to do. The result was authority that compounded — and revenue that followed.
Case Study
The Challenge
Michael Hines spent more than 25 years building credibility inside some of the world’s most demanding organizations — leading culture transformation at Starbucks at enterprise scale and recognized in the top 10% of performers globally at GlaxoSmithKline. When he stepped out on his own, none of that pedigree was visible. No digital presence. No positioning narrative. No brand infrastructure that matched the caliber of the work he had spent decades doing. He was entering one of the most crowded markets in consulting with Fortune 500 credentials and a generic first impression.
The Solution
EBA built Michael’s public presence from the ground up. We developed a premium brand identity and positioning narrative that placed him in a category of one — not another leadership consultant, but a recognized authority on culture as a performance driver. We built his executive authority website, optimized his LinkedIn presence for AI discoverability, and developed a complete five-phase book launch playbook to ensure that when his debut book publishes, the market is already paying attention. The infrastructure is in place. The platform is ready. The launch is coming.
The Results
Premium
Specialist positioning built around a defined and defensible point of view
Cohesive
Brand identity and digital presence aligned with his Fortune 500 pedigree
Discoverable
Authority website optimized for traditional search and AI discovery
Launch Ready
Complete book launch infrastructure developed before publication
“I spent over twenty years building credibility at Starbucks and GSK. When I went independent, I needed a brand that matched that pedigree. EBA gave me the positioning, the platform, and the strategic clarity to launch as a recognized authority — not just another consultant.”
— Michael Hines, Founder, Thrive and Land Consulting
Key Takeaway
Michael didn’t need tips. He needed a brand that matched his credibility and a platform ready to carry the weight of what he is about to launch. EBA built both. The results are coming — and when they do, the foundation will already be there.
