Challenge
Their mission is bold, but their visuals didn’t fully reflect the strength, clarity, and executive presence of their leadership. They needed cohesive, professional imagery that stood out in a crowded space and reinforced the credibility of their work.
Solution
SIP provided ongoing executive, brand and event photography, creating a unified visual library for their website, marketing, and social media. Using the R.E.A.L. Method, we captured imagery rooted in their identity, aligned with their mission, and layered with authentic leadership and impact.
As Co-Founder and President Gloria Feldt shared, Karianne’s work “captures essence, confidence, and authenticity.”
Outcome
Take the Lead emerged with a cohesive, recognizable visual brand and a stronger, more confident executive presence. Their credibility grew as their messaging became clearer, and their new imagery delivered visual storytelling that deeply resonated with donors, partners, and their wider community.

“High-quality, professional images have elevated our brand and reinforced the influence of our mission.”

W5 Technologies is a fast-growing company specializing in mission-critical wireless communication solutions. Their mission is to deliver secure, reliable technology with integrity and innovation.
Challenge
W5 was doing extraordinary work, but their visibility didn’t reflect it. Their brand and imagery felt outdated, their messaging wasn’t clear, leadership wasn’t showing up consistently, and their presence in the community and media was minimal. They needed alignment, clarity, and a cohesive visibility strategy.
Solution
SIP stepped in as their Fractional Chief Visibility Officer, overseeing all aspects of their visibility using the R.E.A.L. method.
As their Fractional Chief Visibility Officer, SIP oversaw every aspect of W5’s visibility, bringing in and managing the right experts to ensure alignment across the brand. We created a unified visual identity, developed messaging that clearly explained their products and mission, guided a refresh of their marketing materials, and consulted on a complete rebuild of their website. We led their LinkedIn strategy and leadership coaching, coordinated media outreach that resulted in major press features, supported the production of their first brand video, and encouraged deeper community engagement. Acting as their visibility “general contractor,” we ensured every touchpoint told a consistent, compelling story of who they truly are.
Outcome
In six months, W5 achieved:
*2× growth in LinkedIn followers
*5× engagement over industry benchmark
Media features in major publications
A cohesive brand identity
Stronger internal clarity and external storytelling
Increased inquiries despite a 1–2 year buying cycle
Visible community presence
Feedback like: “I didn’t realize you did all this — now I get it.”
W5 now shows up intentionally, consistently, and authentically, and their visibility finally reflects their value.
