Overview
Recognizing the importance of personal branding, PTR sought to position its three founding partners as thought leaders to enhance their visibility and solidify the firm’s authority in the industry. The initiative aimed to connect the founders’ expertise to PTR’s core identity and create a strong, consistent leadership presence in both the media and at key industry events.
Challenges
Despite being recognized for their expertise, the founders’ personal brands were underrepresented in the media, limiting their visibility and influence. The challenges included:
-
-
- Underutilized Thought Leadership: The founders’ insights weren’t fully showcased in prominent media.
- Limited Media Exposure: Their contributions weren’t regularly featured in top industry platforms.
- Lack of Personal Branding Strategy: PTR had not maximized the potential of personal branding to complement the firm’s overall reputation.

Solution
The PTR MSS team developed a strategic leadership branding plan to elevate the founders’ profiles. This involved securing media placements for their opinion pieces, organizing speaking engagements at industry conferences, and maintaining consistent visibility through social media, content production, and PR. Additionally, one founder hosted PTR’s internal podcast to further build their leadership presence. This comprehensive approach successfully raised their visibility, amplified their influence, and reinforced their authority in the power sector.
