The Visibility Sprint.
For Marketing Managers who are great at their jobs, and still getting passed over.
Founding rate: $3,500 · First 5 clients only
There's a gap between how hard you work,
and how far it takes you.
You're overworked and undervalued.
You over-deliver.
And get overlooked.
You consistently go above and beyond, but you watch others with less experience move up around you.
Your calendar reflects
everyone else's priorities.
You're in back-to-back meetings, but most of them aren't moving your career forward. You're too busy managing tasks to focus on your trajectory.
You're not visible to senior leaders.
The people making decisions about your next opportunity role don't have a clear picture of your impact. And you're not sure how to change that.
"Hard work got you here.
It won’t get you to the next level.
To make your next career move, you need to be visible to the right people, for the right reasons."
— Lauren Thomas, Certified Executive Coach
Close the gap between effort and opportunity.

Built on the IGNITE Method.
A proprietary framework for career advancement developed for high-performing managers in complex organizations.
Lauren Thomas
Founder & Chief Play Officer, PlayformanceI spent 15+ years inside marketing agencies and Fortune 500 companies doing exactly what you're doing right now: delivering results and wondering why my hard work wasn't translating into promotions.
I know what it feels like to deliver award-winning work, to lead a high-performing team, and still get passed over. And I know exactly what shifts when you get strategic about your promotion strategy.
I spent 3 years at AT&T, leading social media strategy for Cricket Wireless. Then I spent 7.5 years at Intuit, working my way up from an individual contributor to a Group Manager. I built and led an award-winning team across the US and Canada, and served as the Head of Communications for TurboTax Canada.
I worked with talented, hardworking people who went above and beyond and still didn't move up.
Eventually, I managed a team and discovered how the promotion process really works.
I took the lessons I learned the hard way and the insights from sitting in the rooms where promotion decisions were made, and used that experience to develop the IGNITE Method, a framework to help you move up the ladder.
Now, as a Certified Executive Coach, I help Marketing Managers build the visibility, relationships, and strategy to get to the next level, without burning out.
The Visibility Sprint is built on everything I learned navigating complex organizations, growing my scope and salary, and developing strategies to help others do the same.
