CEO Authority Sprint
The people deciding about you have already looked you up.
They typed your name into an AI engine. They received an answer in seconds.
That answer is now their first impression of you. It was assembled automatically from whatever is publicly indexed about you. You did not write it. You did not approve it. You may not even know what it says.
And it is shaping how you are understood before you have said a word.
The gap you cannot see until it costs you
You are respected inside your organisation. The people who know you understand what you have built, how you think, and what you are capable of.
The people who do not know you yet are forming a different picture.
Your potential customers look you up before they sign. Your existing customers look you up before they renew. Strategic partners look you up before they agree to the meeting. Board recruiters look you up before they build the shortlist. Investors look you up before they take the call.
They are all starting in the same place: an AI engine, a search bar, and thirty seconds of attention.
This is what one AI engine returned when asked about a senior executive at a major European company with years of seven-digit EBIT impact behind them:
"This person doesn't appear to be a known public figure or widely documented individual based on available information."
That is the answer their next customer received. That is the first impression that preceded the meeting that never happened.
You will not always know what you lost. That is the most expensive part.
This is not about visibility. It is about owning your narrative.
Right now, if you have not structured your narrative deliberately, two things are happening simultaneously.
The people who matter cannot find you clearly. And the ones who do find something are reading a version of you that you did not write, did not approve, and may not recognise.
AI engines are assembling an answer about who you are from whatever they can find publicly. That answer may be incomplete. It may be outdated. It may emphasise the wrong things entirely. You have no visibility into what it says and no control over what it does to the conversation before you enter it.
That is not a gap in your marketing. It is a gap in your authority infrastructure. And every day it exists, someone else is effectively writing your narrative for you.
You do not need to be famous. You need to own what people see when they look for you. Findable, accurate, and clearly yours.
Most accomplished CEOs are not in that position. Not because they lack substance. Because they have never structured that substance for the systems doing the reading.
The CEO Authority Sprint puts you back in control of your narrative in 90 days.
What the Sprint builds
HMG's in-house creative team builds the complete foundational infrastructure of your authority across seven domains. Every component is designed with one purpose: ensuring that the people researching you find a coherent, credible, and accurate answer that you have authored.
Positioning and strategy:
The leadership narrative that becomes the spine of everything else. Extracted from how you actually think and lead. Structured so that AI engines can carry it accurately.
Stories:
The specific perspectives, frameworks, and decisions that make your positioning searchable and credible. Written by HMG's journalist in close working sessions with you.
Personal website:
Your owned, permanent, AI-indexed infrastructure. The only digital surface you fully control. The hub that every other surface points to.
Brand video:
Your leadership perspective on film. Shot on professional cinema equipment. Designed to be cited, embedded, and indexed.
Photography:
Professional imagery used across your website, LinkedIn, press materials, and AI-indexed image results. Most CEOs are still using a photo from a corporate event three years ago.
Content shoot and podcast:
A fully produced podcast recording handled end-to-end by the Studio. One recording produces a month of indexed content and one new strategic relationship at the same time.
Activation included
The Sprint does not end when the assets are built.
HMG manages 6 to 8 weeks of social media distribution following the build phase. This is the period when the infrastructure begins to work, and your narrative starts reaching the right people consistently.
What movement looks like
One client. Partner of a Service Company in the Netherlands. Four months.
She started at 15.1 on the CEO Authority Score. Silent Operator. Substantial capability, invisible outside her organisation. No owned narrative visible. No ownership or control over what people found when they searched for her.
Four months later: 76.0. Respected Authority. Above the top 5% benchmark for European executives. Three of five dimensions moved from zero to above 75. Every major AI engine now returns a sourced, coherent professional summary when her name is searched. Her owned domain appears in Google results alongside her firm. Her narrative has a spine. She owns what people see.
In her words:
"You helped me find a language to put them, and with that, me, out there. It made accessible the value of those things that, for me, are bread and butter, and therefore hard to identify, let alone think about the value of sharing. It made clear to me how to articulate the trustworthy authenticity of myself."
Before the Sprint, the systems that mattered could not find her story, and she had no control over what they said instead.
Now she does.
What happens next
At the end of the sprint, you will have a complete authority infrastructure in place, six to eight weeks of distribution data, and early evidence of AI visibility movement. Most importantly, you will own your narrative. What people find when they search for you will be accurate, coherent, and yours.
For CEOs who want to continue building and compounding that infrastructure over 12 months, the CEO Authority Programme is the natural next step. The Sprint investment carries forward in full.
The starting point
Every Sprint begins with the CEO Authority Audit, conducted as the first phase of the engagement. It establishes your baseline score across all five dimensions, shows you exactly what the systems that matter currently say about you, and defines precisely what the Sprint is built to close.
If the Audit has already been completed separately, that investment of EUR 2,500 carries forward in full.
Investment: by conversation. Your time commitment: approximately two hours per month.
