I’m Amelia Ellenstein

BRAND STRATEGIST & BUSINESS GROWTH ADVISOR

Since 2003, I’ve been working with CEOs and Entrepreneurs to get the clarity they need to transform their vision, values, and expertise into a business strategy everyone can understand.

Using my exclusive 3 Step System to spark clarity, take action, and develop leaders, I guide people to build a scalable brand. More than 2,500 leaders have used my framework to grow.

My work includes brand strategy, culture-building, communication, and leadership coaching that ignites and guides top-performance.

I started my career at a start-up, where my employee number was “3.” Alongside the Founder, we grew that business to $72-Million in 3 years. 

Later, as the youngest Vice President at a 50-year-old company, I helped lead that brand to 3x its sales, hitting $1-Billion. We put the spark back into a family of legacy brands using brand strategy, and the Founder successfully sold the company. 

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 this brand strategy agency to help purpose-driven leaders build a business around their values. 

I’m so glad you’re here.

Amelia is sensational.

I’ve never been more motivated personally or professionally.

ENTREPRENEUR, THE LODGE AT PLEASANT POINT

You’re an ambitious CEO or Entrepreneur building a company you believe in .

But, you’re being pulled in 1,000 different directions.

You know you’re not clearly communicating who you are and what you do, or how you’re different and better—which makes it really difficult for your team and your customers to understand your brand.

You’re seeking an advisor that can help you set up a brand, culture and communication strategy that will propel your company forward with clarity of purpose.

You value personal service, a process-driven approach to creativity, and communication solutions that go way deeper than a marketing campaign.

In a world of cookie-cutter creative agencies and big impersonal advertising firms, you want to invest in something different: strategic expertise.

Tools for clarity.

My 3 Step System empowers forward-thinking leaders to create brand strategies that align people with their vision, build purpose-driven cultures, and communicate their big ideas with impact.

20+ years experience.

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.

2,500 (and counting!)

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.
