Principals Media is a digital-first storytelling company for companies and CEOs. We create uniquely authentic content and social media that helps companies and leaders connect directly with their audiences, enhance reputations and build relationships.

Services

We specialize in ghostwriting authentic social media for CEOs and other executives who want to boost their profiles nationally and internationally. We also create brand media, thought leadership and newsrooms for companies to drive awareness and own conversations. Our team consists of senior journalists from major U.S. and global publications, including Bloomberg, The Wall Street Journal, and Reuters, and includes several Pulitzer Prize winners.

Authentic
social media

We’ve entered the era of the social CEO. LinkedIn and Twitter have transformed the business world, enabling CEOs and other leaders to connect directly with stakeholders. We do social media differently, however. We specialize in creating distinctive in-depth posts that educate, inspire and generate significantly more engagement.

Brand media
& newsrooms

More and more organizations are realizing the value of becoming their own media company. By producing high-quality brand journalism, you can position your firm as a trusted authority and generate affinity for your brand. Going one step further and investing in your own newsroom empowers you to become a source of truth in your industry and own the conversation

Thought leadership
& speechwriting

As a leader, your word carries substantial weight and has the potential to shape your company's image and reputation. Whether you need an op-ed or a keynote speech, our ghostwriters help you communicate ideas, vision, and expertise with clarity and impact. We take care to pair you with a business or finance journalist who understands your industry and can capture your unique insights.

Company leadership
profiles

Company websites typically include executive bios – but they're often little more than lists of titles and achievements. We believe we have a better solution – we've pioneered magazine-style personal profiles of company leaders that tell inspiring, relatable stories that deepen relationships with employees and stakeholders.

Executive
Speechwriting

As a leader, delivering impactful speeches is vital. Whether you’re speaking at Davos or SXSW, we can help craft a speech people will remember for the right reasons. Our executive speechwriters help deliver powerful and memorable speeches that leave a lasting impact on your audience. The speeches are tailored to your unique style, tone, and objectives. By incorporating storytelling, compelling anecdotes, and data-driven insights, we create speeches that engage, inform, and inspire action.

Our Approach

We believe in the art of storytelling and the rigor of journalism. We work closely with our partners to understand what success means to them and dive deeply into their goals and target audiences. We leverage decades of experience in some of the world’s top newsrooms to develop innovative content strategies for digital and traditional channels.

We help you define your goals, identify your target audience, and develop your voice and messaging. We also handle all your content ideation, planning, and creation. We apply rigorous journalistic standards to everything we do and pair you with senior journalists with deep knowledge of your industry.
