Your Legacy is My Priority

Both Liam Neeson and I have a very particular set of skills. You probably already know what his are. Though equally impactful, my skills are a bit different.

I am a strategist. I help experts, high performers, and creatives build their catalog of intellectual property. Need me to help you create a thing? Not a problem. Need me to run with your thing after you’ve created it? I gotchu.  I’ll make sure you execute more of your great ideas and carry your message, insights, and legacy into the next generation.  

I specialize in a few key areas: strategy, content creation, marketing, and small business admin. But my superpower is being your #2. Think of me as your go-to strategic partner, ready to help you create, make, and do more. 

Welcome to my corner of the web! Here, you’ll find a mix of actionable marketing insights (articles) and personal thoughts (essays and letters) to help you do your thing better and get a better sense of how I can help.

Hey, are you thinking about writing a book? I can help!

Hey, I'm Sorilbran!

(She pronounces it suh RIL brən)

… The brains behind content strategy and the reigning commander of all things marketing at The Shelf Influencer Marketing Agency. And if you’re wondering why my bio isn’t all suit-and-tie serious, well, that’s just the way I roll.

I’ve birthed some brainchildren – The Freelancer’s 12-Week Daily Planner, available here on my website. Plus, I’ve penned two (bylined) books: The Freelancer’s Guide to Self-Marketing and 70 Home Business Ideas for Women Who Think Outside the Box.

I’m a #girlmom to a league of 4 extraordinary young women – all of them strong, compassionate leaders (you’re welcome). I’m a sci-fi geek, a sucker for action flicks, and a fan of songs written by boys with guitars, no matter the genre. 

Dive into my world every week on LinkedIn in my newsletter, Media for Marketing, where I casually spill marketing strategies with a side of mom life and geeky interests. Or take a look around here where I lean into some of the lessons I’ve learned since arriving on the planet back when Ford was president (friggin’ FORD, bro!). Glad you’re here. 

THE OBLIGATORY HUMBLE BRAG SECTION

Okay, so… in addition to being your local authority on all things MCU, I’m KIND OF a marketing expert. So… I mean… yeah… I get published, quoted, cited, interviewed, and featured from time to time. 

Now... How Can I Help YOU?

If you’re here because you’re thinking about bringing me into your world to help you level up, that’s awesome! I consider it a genuine honor! Here are the 3 ways I can help.

Help You With Content Creation

Good news! I create tons of content that will help you (yes, YOU) navigate the space known as the creator economy. Dig into my digital crate and find what you need, love.

Support Your Existing Team

Teeny, tiny marketing team? Or no marketing team at all? Let’s look at your goals then plan and implement a marketing strategy to get you there. 

Help You Build Your Authority

Turn your ideas, expertise, and experience into books, courses, and communities. My team and I will help you build a catalog of assets for the next generation. 

Shouldn't you just use AI for all of this?

Yeah.  Duh! AI is nothing new for marketers, right? I’ve been playing a never-ending game of chess against AI-powered search engines for more than a decade. But what many miss as they’re churning out content created by AI is that the quantity of content hasn’t been the most important signal for Google and other search engines in years. So, take 2 minutes to watch this video to find out what many small business owners are missing when it comes to using AI as their marketing team. Super useful info. 

We get one run at this thing called life. Let's just... go all in.

Yes, I’m a marketer and lifelong content creator. But I also have a love of fandom. So, if you’re an expert, leader, or maker who’s been diligent unto mastery, let’s talk about using content to package your expertise and widen your impact radius. Come on! It’ll be fun!
