Executive Career Brand is a boutique firm providing executive job search services, including personal branding, resume writing, LinkedIn profile writing, biography writing and more.
As a solopreneur, I work one-on-one with each and every client. You will interface with me, and me alone, throughout the enlightening and invigorating process.
Most of my clients are job-hunting undercover. They’re currently employed and must keep their search confidential. When you work with me, be assured that:
- No one else will write your documents, online profiles or other materials.
- I am the only one you will communicate with.
- No one else will be privy to your confidential materials and information.
Executive personal brand development is step one, no matter what career marketing collaterals we build together.
A branded executive resume alone is not enough to get you into that next great gig.
My clients “get it”. They know that a targeted executive resume AND LinkedIn profile, at the very least, form the foundation for successful job search.
Working in sync to resonate with their target employers, these personal marketing communications give them a competitive advantage.
A Senior Product and Customer Experience (CX) Executive client of Executive Career Brand said this, when he first read the LinkedIn profile content I wrote for him:
“My immediate impression of my LinkedIn profile is simply WOW! I’m really impressed with what you’ve created, and am excited to get it into LinkedIn and unleashed on the hiring world! :-).
Again, thank you for delivering such high quality work right out of the gate.”
To keep pace with your competition in the new world of top-level executive job search, you need a far-reaching job search toolkit that includes:
- LinkedIn and other social networking (Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, blogging, etc.)
- Collateral personal brand marketing materials (biography, cover letters, and other supporting documents)
- A strong online presence with visual content (video, images, infographics, etc.)
- Targeted company and industry market intelligence
Why you need my integrated Personal Branding, Online Presence and Executive Job Search Readiness System
I’ve designed an integrated system that links the 3 critical components for executive job search readiness and success:
Targeting and Research – to narrow your search and know what information about you will hit home with specific target employers.
Personal Branding – helps you differentiate the unique value you offer those target employers, and know how to communicate that value.
Personal SEO (Search Engine Optimization) – to help you get found online and be more visible.
I help my clients define and build their personal brand and marketing messaging around what differentiates their value to their target employers over their competitors in the job market, AND how they’re uniquely qualified to help their target employers meet their current needs.
The content I write for you will be ever mindful of your personal SEO (Search Engine Optimization), I put the right keywords in the right places in your brand materials, so that you’ll be more easily found by recruiters and other people sourcing and assessing candidates like you.
Together, you and I will align your relevant skills, expertise and personal attributes with what your target companies are looking for in candidates, so they clearly see you as a good-fit.
A Senior-level Global Healthcare Marketing and Strategic Communications executive client of Executive Career Brand told me this:
“Even though I have spent decades helping organizations build their brands, I was stumped when it came to building my own personal brand. You helped me crack the code quickly and showed me that I had all of the tools at my fingertips.
You helped me strategize and organize my strengths into a brand identity that truly communicates what I want potential CEOs to see in me. Writing is clearly among your top 3 strengths – colorful and captivating copy resulting in immediate increased attention on my LinkedIn profile from c-suite executives and career recruiters.”
I’ve found that most executive job seekers dive into a search without first understanding how today’s executive job search works.
They do what intuitively seems to be the best thing . . . hit the job boards hard, because that’s where all the jobs are, right?
They quickly put together a generic resume that will cover all the bases, and then quickly send it out to every job board posting that even remotely looks like a good fit.
For many, that’s the extent of their job search efforts. They spend 90% or more of their time on a job search method that yields perhaps a 10% success rate!
They neglect, or under-utilize, purposeful networking – by far the best job search method – because they’re not prepared to do it well.
What’s so unique about what I offer at Executive Career Brand?
Someone at your level, in particular, needs a strong writer who can generate chemistry in the content and make it an interesting read for people assessing you. Sure, these people want to know that you have the hard skills, but they also want to get a feel for what kind of person you are and whether you’ll fit into their culture.
I am that writer.
My system also includes an in-depth phone consultation to prioritize and strategize the best ways to present the value you offer. Along with zeroing in on your most important areas of expertise (or hard skills), our conversation will prompt you to come up with meaty nuggets about who you are and your personality. These are the kinds of things that truly make you stand out. And I’m a fast keyboardist as we’re talking, so I won’t miss much.
Here’s what a Chief Marketing Officer client of Executive Career Brand said:
“Meg’s process is structured and virtuoso and will help you land an executive job quicker and with a lot less agony. I strongly recommend her services as they seamlessly helped me transfer from one executive challenge to the next.
“Meg’s approach helped me to focus in a way I have not experienced it before. I was working on documents, positioning and mission statement much like a branding professional. Yet, this time I was the brand.
Subsequently, she helped me with my mission, my values, and facilitated my pivotal strengths to unfold uniquely.
Meg was a master resume adviser to me, but this is only a short description of her canny talents. Meg is a maven when it comes to defining your digital presence. This is where Meg Guiseppi’s work is priceless.”
But it’s not just about the content I will write for you.
Yes, I’ll collaborate with you to create razor-sharp, brand-reinforcing personal marketing materials – executive resume, biography, LinkedIn profile, cover letter, etc. – that will position you as a great-fit candidate.
But just as important, beyond the tangible deliverables, my system delivers in the following critical areas:
Targeting and Market Intelligence – You’ll know which employers are a mutual good fit, and what makes you the best hiring choice for them.

Here’s what a Senior IT executive had to say about my personal branding and job search readiness system:
“The work I did through Meg’s personal branding and career targeting process had a powerful impact on me, and transformed the way I plan to move forward with my career and work life. I came to realize that I hadn’t paused over the past 15 years to think about my vision and purpose. Meg’s process opened my eyes and now I’ll take into account my personal hopes and dreams, as I plan the next chapters of my career.
I feel much better prepared and positioned for networking and landing a job I really want.”
With my system, you’ll be way ahead of your competitors. Most of them are still laboring under the misguided notion that a generic executive resume and heavy-duty job board activity will get them into a new job.
With my system, you’ll be prepared to navigate the new world of executive job search and Land a Great-Fit New Gig!
