ABOUT
AMELIA
HELLO!
I’m Amelia Ellenstein
BRAND STRATEGIST & BUSINESS GROWTH ADVISOR
I help CEOs and Founders harness the power of brand strategy to align people with their vision, build purpose-driven cultures, and bring their big ideas to life.
It all started with a BIG idea.
As the youngest vice president at a 50-year old company, I helped lead that brand to triple its sales, hitting $1 Billion. I spearheaded the company’s largest expansion, designed more than 150 retail stores, built an e-Commerce division, designed an industry-shaking mattress chain, and put the spark back into a family of legacy brands using brand strategy.
Then, I made a big change to pursue a big idea: a Vision to explore my potential beyond the walls of my corner office. I left my high profile job to walk thousands of miles across America.
Along the way, I learned that the only thing more satisfying than accomplishing our biggest goals is finding satisfaction in the process. Otherwise, we haven’t achieved much, have we?
Today, I run a purpose-driven business for other purpose-driven leaders, guiding CEOs, Founders and their teams to bring their big ideas to life in satisfying ways.
My 3 Step System empowers forward-thinking leaders to create brand strategies that cut through the confusion, align with your values, and fulfill your potential in business and in life. Learn more here.
Tools for clarity.
With two decades of brand strategy experience, I’ve crafted a game-changing framework, trainings, and tools to drive sustainable growth—for you, your business, and your team.
20+ years experience.
I’ve guided more than 2,500 leaders, all across the US, who left confusion behind in favor of powerful, purpose-filled business strategies built on game-changing clarity.
2,500 (and counting!)
The collective clarity we gained with Amelia allowed us to mindfully grow.
