Thought Leadership, Built to Scale

For serious thought leaders, experts, and professional firms who need a digital platform that matches their credibility—and unlocks new revenue and speaking opportunities.

You don't need more noise—you need authority.

You’re accomplished, respected—and wary of coming off like an amateur online. You know visibility matters. But a misaligned, cookie-cutter web presence can quietly undercut your reputation.

You have too much experience to step out as an amateur.

You’re ready to command higher fees for your speaking, advising, coaching, and consulting, but you need to build your online presence to match the credibility you already have.

You want opportunities to chase you.

Not cold outreach, awkward pitching, or chasing leads. You want the right organizations, event planners, and collaborators to find you. To trust your work. To ask for you by name.

    “Sy’s strategic and technical expertise provided just what I needed in developing my website. She understood that the site would serve as a foundational element of my brand launch, including my book Lead Like You Mean it: Lessons On Integrity and Purpose from the C-Suite, available spring of 2025. She delivered an outstanding final product and continues to be a key thought partner in the evolution of the site. Sy’s skills and counsel make her an exceptional partner.”

    “I cannot say enough about how wonderful it was to work with Sy on my website. Sy crossed my path at a critical time, a few months out of launching my book and I was pretty clueless. She did more than anticipate my needs - she told me what I needed and would need as my pub date came to pass, and helped me find solutions to every challenge. She completely revamped my site with her keen eye and was quick to support on other areas of managing my brand and platform. I am so, so grateful that I found her brilliant mind and beautiful design sense and would recommend her to anyone. “

    “Sy helped me understand that I could leverage all of my professional experience, and also build up my profile as an author and grief expert. She is an executive-level expert who spoke my language and understood what I needed to build my platform and audience. Working with her and having my website evolve along with me was really critical to successfully publishing my book, which became a bestseller.”

    “I engaged SY Agency to build a website for my coaching and consulting business. Sy did an amazing job helping me identify what I wanted my site to look like and then turning it into reality. … The site has also already paid for itself through new clients, who I'd had no previous contact with, but who reached out through the website. I highly recommend SY Agency for anyone looking to build or refresh their website and brand more generally.”

  • Dr. Ruchi Sinha

    “Working with SY Agency has been an absolute privilege. She is one of the most authentic, genuine, and down-to-earth individuals I’ve ever met. Having her as an advisor has been invaluable as I navigated what it means to build a personal brand. Her deep understanding of strategy, digital platforms, and how to leverage one’s expertise to create impactful leadership is truly exceptional. Sy's ability to listen deeply during our coaching sessions stood out. She and her team took the time to truly understand my vision, guiding me through countless iterations to ensure my website reflected my professional identity and my personal voice. Her suggestions were thoughtful, creative, and tailored, making my website everything I hoped it would be and more. If you’re looking for someone to help you create a brand that feels authentic and aligns with your goals, I cannot recommend Sy highly enough. Her expertise and collaborative approach will make your journey not only effective but deeply rewarding.”

    “What really sets Sy apart is their incredible talent and skill. The website they built for me is not only visually stunning, but it's also incredibly functional and user-friendly. They have a keen eye for design and were able to bring my ideas to life in a way that I could have never imagined.

    Thanks to Sy, I now have a website that I’m truly proud of. It’s already making a huge impact on my business, and I know it’s going to be a game-changer for me in the years to come. I cannot recommend Sy highly enough for anyone looking for a talented and trustworthy web designer.“
