Welcome to Strategic Impact Partners, a new business from Karianne Munstedt
If there’s one thing I’ve learned in my years of photographing women in business and life, it’s this: the most extraordinary work is often the least visible.
Behind the scenes, women are leading. They’re building companies, shaping communities, and making a real difference—but too often, their impact goes unseen. It gets buried behind perfectionism, humble silence, or a lack of time and strategy. That’s why I created Strategic Impact Partners (SIP) —a national visibility firm dedicated to making sure mission-driven, women-led businesses are seen, celebrated, and remembered.
This isn’t just about photos (though we take some really good ones). It’s about showing the heart and soul of your business
—your people, your leadership, your values, your impact.
Why Visibility? Why Now?
We live in a time where people don’t just buy products or services. They buy stories. They buy from companies whose values they align with, whose leadership they trust, and whose culture feels real.
Visibility is the bridge between the work you do and the recognition it deserves.
It drives credibility.
It fuels growth.
And when done right, it invites deeper connection—with clients, team members, investors, and communities.
At SIP, we make that happen. Whether you’re stepping into the spotlight for the first time or ready to expand your presence with intention, we’re here to illuminate your work in the most authentic, powerful way possible.
What Does SIP Actually Do?
We offer three levels of strategic visibility support:
*On-Demand Executive Photographer
Perfect for when you need high-quality, intentional photography to elevate your brand and align with your current marketing campaigns. We perfectly compliment companies that are already working with full-service marketing teams.
*Concierge Visibility Partner
We become your strategic partner—planning visuals around your milestones, capturing your leadership in action, and helping you show up with consistency and clarity. We also provide other visibility services as deemed appropriate, such as help with your messaging, newsletter, social media, videos, and more.
*Fractional Chief Visibility Officer
A deeply embedded role where we come in as your “General Contractor” to manage your executive visibility across platforms, campaigns, and events—so you don’t have to think about it. You just show up and lead.
No matter the level, we’re here to make sure your business is seen for who you truly are—and why you matter.
Why Me? Why This?
Strategic Impact Partners is the evolution of everything I’ve done before.
From my early days in marketing to building a nationally recognized portrait brand, I’ve always been obsessed with helping women be seen. And now, that mission is bigger.
It’s about helping companies like yours become visible in a way that drives impact—not just attention.
Because when women rise in visibility, entire industries shift. Communities thrive. Legacies are built. And the world sees a fuller, richer, more honest picture of leadership.
Let’s Raise the Visibility of Good Business
If you’re a founder, CEO, or marketing leader who knows your company has heart, vision, and impact—but you’re not sure the world sees it—this is your invitation.
Let’s make your business impossible to overlook.
Let’s make your leadership unmistakable.
Let’s close the visibility gap and raise the presence of the women and businesses changing the world.
Sincerely,
Karianne Munstedt, MBA
