INFLUENCED → INFLUENCE
Before you decide what you want to be known for, discover what made you who you are.
Know what shaped you. Choose what you shape.
FOUR DOORS. ONE QUESTION.
However you arrive, it all leads back to the same idea: we are all influenced. The question is, by what?
Find out what's shaped you. You don't need to be building a personal brand to explore INFLUENCED.

Read the journal →THE IDEA
Most personal-brand advice starts on the surface: what to post, your niche, your colours. I start earlier. I help people work out which parts of them are genuinely theirs, which parts they inherited, and which parts they're ready to question.
The point isn't to become uninfluenced. That's impossible, and influence isn't automatically good or bad. The point is to become conscious of it, and more deliberate about the influence you have on other people.
Only then does it make sense to decide what you put out into the world.
INFLUENCED is a creative world built around one idea: understanding what shaped you gives you more choice over what you shape next.
Through questions, Characters, conversations, stories and experiences, we explore what makes us who we are.
Not to tell you who to be.
To help you decide for yourself.
Most personal-brand strategists ask who you want to be known as.
I ask who you are before everyone else got a vote.
AMELIA, FOUNDER
THE METHOD
01
Who am I?
Your personality, experiences, preferences, strengths and how you naturally show up in the world.
02
What shaped me?
The people, experiences, expectations and beliefs that made you who you are today.
03
What do I genuinely believe?
Separate inherited opinions from personal convictions, and find what makes your voice your own.
04
What do I want to be known for, and how will I say it?
Turn self-understanding into intentional communication, storytelling and personal brand direction.
WHY IT MATTERS
ON LINKEDIN
Expertise earns attention. Your perspective is why people follow you instead of everyone else who knows the same things.
ON A PODCAST
The host won't ask for a lesson. They'll ask where you've come from, what you got wrong and what changed your mind.
ON A STAGE
An audience wants the decisions, experiences and convictions behind your approach, and a reason to trust you.
WHO IT'S FOR
Founders, entrepreneurs, business owners and aspiring speakers who want a personal brand rooted in who they genuinely are, and the confidence to use their voice online, on podcasts and on stage.

They aren't personality types or labels. They're forces that show up in all of us: comparison, old beliefs, the people we want to make proud. The Host guides you through, asking the questions that go one layer deeper.

Ten influences. Terrible decisions. One functioning brain cell. A party game where everyone thinks they know best.
Rye's story is coming too. Meet INFLUENCED: The Story →
THE FOUNDER
I'm a creative, songwriter and marketing strategist who's spent years exploring what makes people connect, create and influence one another.
I've built my own audience of over 31K followers and 1.2 million likes on TikTok, written and released music with over a million streams, and helped founders and businesses grow their presence through content, campaigns, websites and events.
But working on both sides of influence, as a creator and as a strategist, made me increasingly interested in something deeper.
Before we decide how we want people to see us, how much do we actually understand ourselves?
That's the question behind WE ARE INFLUENCED.
I believe the most meaningful personal brands aren't invented. They're uncovered, understood and built with intention.
