Rebis Health. Audience visibility +2,421% in six months by activating an 8-spokesperson thought leadership platform across C-Suite, MDs, and PhDs—transforming a sleep clinic into a regional authority.

Audience: The highest converting audience finds the clinic directly (B2C)

Project Duration: 6 months

Rebis Health is Colorado’s leading sleep institute, revolutionizing patient-first care. Rebis Health is the first of its kind to uniquely integrate airway dentistry, sleep medicine, and functional medicine into a single, expert-led ecosystem dedicated to root-cause healing.

  • Following a leadership reorganization and the rebranding of the Colorado Sleep Institute (CSI), Rebis Health needed to reclaim market share while establishing a comprehensive clinical identity and a new standard for healing. The pivot was a strategic necessity to transcend the limitations of traditional sleep medicine and reflect a multi-disciplinary approach to health.

    Partnership & Ecosystem Development
    Aligned with industry leaders and technology partners to build credibility, referral domain strength, and cross-disciplinary authority.

  • Digital Foundation: Building Institutional Authority Before Scaling Visibility

    The transformation began with infrastructure. Before accelerating growth, we engineered a high-performance digital foundation capable of compounding authority.

    • Site Health: 95%  A near-pristine technical foundation ensuring high-velocity indexation and reduced ranking friction.

    • Domain Authority: +52.9% increase moving from “local clinic” to a credible regional authority in six months.

    #1 Position Authority Wins

    Rebis now ranks #1 for its highest-converting functional sleep medicine and service terms—driving qualified, ready-to-book patients directly to the clinic.

    SME Authority and Trust

    Patients are searching providers by name, signaling trust transfer from institution to individual expert — and back to the brand.

    Engagement Metrics

    • Average CTR: 3.4%

    • Branded CTR: 40%+

    Media Relations

    Placements were strategically aligned with domain authority growth to gain high relevance and niche medical authority.

    • Outperforming all local players: UC Health, Boulder Community Health

    • First page search result for “sleep specialist near me”

    • Desktop drives 58% of clicks (booking + portal), mobile drives 71k impressions (discovery engine)

Why It Matters

Rebis spokespeople are true healers. Sleep is a fundamental and universal human need, and restorative rest is one of the body’s most powerful recovery mechanisms. When people sleep deeply and consistently, inflammation decreases, resilience strengthens, and many chronic symptoms begin to soften—moving beyond survival to thriving. With a strong thought leadership platform, Rebis heals the world at scale.

With 95% Site Health, every new spokesperson article, landing page, or press mention is indexed and ranked on a fast track, optimized for scale. The directory listing strategy removed friction, protected trust, and enabled a controlled market transition—maintaining legacy demand while accelerating adoption of the new brand identity. Google now sees Rebis thought leaders as industry figures, not employees, activating the SME Halo Effect, where authority flows outward through spokespeople and back into the domain. Links and referral traffic from trusted medical institutions created a defensible authority moat that protects rankings and accelerates future content velocity. Partnerships position Rebis at the center of an ecosystem of leaders, rather than competing at the edges. The legacy traffic sources are built for booking velocity, not vanity—the engine is built, authority is compounding, and the distance between executive thought leadership and “Book Now” is shortening.

Audience: Residents and tourists (B2C) and local businesses (B2B)

Project Duration: 1 year

Zeitcaster is a geographically aware community calendar serving Berkshire County, MA, that uses longitude and latitude coordinates to bridge the gap between digital discovery and civic engagement.

  • The Discovery Monopoly. Zeitcaster launched as a lean startup into a market dominated by high-budget, institutional "Goliaths." To win, the platform had to simultaneously disrupt:

    • Total Traffic Volume: 301% increase.

    • Direct Traffic (Brand Equity): 829.37% increase (36.6% of overall traffic), reflecting a massive jump in users coming directly to Zeitcaster by name.

    • Organic Search (Discovery): 80.2% increase (8.95% of traffic). While volume is smaller, it is the highest-quality audience with a 74.9% engagement rate.

    • Referral Traffic (Authority): 119% increase driven by high-authority earned media links.

    Content Strategy: The "Guide" Effect

    • The launch of "Guides" content has revolutionized site retention, driving an average engagement of 17.5s—nearly 5x longer than individual event pages.

    Digital PR & Earned Media

    • News Syndication Wins: Secured coverage and "follow" links from Springfield Morning News and Daily Albany News, serving as "Deep Authority" signals, validating Zeitcaster as the primary local data source for the Pioneer Valley and Capital Region.

    • High-Authority, Low-Toxicity Profile: Our new referring domains show a healthy profile of high Authority Scores (AS) with minimal toxicity, insulating the site against future Google algorithm updates.

Why It Matters

Community engagement makes a neighborhood feel like home. By breaking down digital silos and centralizing neighborhood events, the platform turns devices into compasses for local culture and human connection. It reflects a core belief that technology should strengthen societies by prioritizing meaningful, in-person moments while minimizing screen time. Zeitcaster turns strangers and tourists into neighbors, helps locals discover the "hidden gems" in their own backyards, and fosters civic pride by helping people find fun right outside their front doors.

SATED Space. Turning Deep-Space Food Innovation into a Mission-Ready Platform.

Audience: Government stakeholders, aerospace institutions, and sponsors (B2B)

Project Duration: 6 months

A globally recognized innovator in advanced space technology and human-factors engineering, Jim Sears invented the patent-protected space oven, which was named a runner-up in the final phase of NASA’s Deep Space Food Challenge in 2024.

  • SATED Space faced a classic frontier problem: extraordinary technology without a clearly defined market narrative. The company needed to:

    • Establish market fit beyond a single innovation

    • Attract new commercial and institutional partners

    • Build credibility with NASA-adjacent decision-makers and funders

    • Articulate why food systems are mission-critical to deep space travel, astronaut safety, and long-duration exploration, and why breakthroughs in space food unlock downstream benefits for humanity on Earth

  • A phased communications strategy designed to professionalize the brand, clarify its mission, and unlock inbound demand.

    Phase 1: Digital Foundation

    • Website redesign with strong technical SEO architecture

    • Clear articulation of SATED’s mission, products, and research applications

    • Positioning food as a systems-level technology for space exploration, not a novelty

    Phase 2: Visibility, Credibility & Relationship Building

    • Media relations and thought-leadership placement

    • Government relations support and narrative alignment with NASA priorities

    • Partner management and amplification through a mutually beneficial collaboration with the José Andrés Group, increasing visibility and credibility

  • SATED Space transitioned from an early-stage inventor narrative to a credible, discoverable space-technology company with measurable inbound momentum.

    Digital KPIs:

    • Domain authority increased 225% from 4 to 13 following the site redesign

    • Site health reached 92% and AI search health reached 84%, placing SATED alongside top-ranking technology sites

    • New audiences demonstrated strong intent, with direct traffic increasing engaged sessions by 52% and organic search growing engaged sessions by 38%—indicating high-quality discovery.

    • Backlinks and referral traffic grew steadily, with 143 referring domains (+10%) and 593 backlinks (+6%), establishing long-term, compounding visibility through PR-driven authority

    • Inbound B2B lead generation increased 400%, driven by the redesigned website and new funnel, excluding direct outreach such as international partnership invitations

    • Founder-level opportunities expanded, including keynote invitations and partner inquiries delivered directly to the CEO’s inbox.

    Media & Institutional Spotlight:

    Government Relations Milestone:

    • Helped establish a new, NASA-funded parabolic flight program, enabling space companies to rigorously test technology in reduced-gravity environments before orbital deployment

Why It Matters

Government Relations: Parabolic flight testing allows space technologies to be validated in microgravity, lunar, and Martian gravity conditions before launch, reducing mission risk, improving safety, and accelerating innovation cycles for payloads, hardware, and human-systems research across the aerospace ecosystem.

Branding and Brand Authority: An elevated thought leadership platform repositioned the SATED Space oven as mission-critical infrastructure for long-duration spaceflight. By enabling fresh food preparation in zero and microgravity, SATED enhances crew safety, performance, and sustainability while advancing U.S. competitiveness in space. The strategy reframed space cooking from novelty to necessity under one defining principle: fresh food in space makes going to Mars possible.

A live roundtable initiative combined high-touch events with thought leadership and search visibility to deepen trust, accelerate adoption, and position the client as a must-have strategic partner. Firms that fail to act risk falling behind; this program helped ensure their portfolio companies don’t.

  • Executive leadership needed to establish a credible voice in a highly sensitive space—parenting and child development—while launching an AI-driven tool designed to foster emotional connection between parents and children. In addition to engaging a B2C audience, the parenting disruptor also needed to hit aggressive growth targets to impress investors.

  • Led the launch of Parent Laba’s media relations program, focusing on thought leadership and emotionally resonant storytelling.

Still Wild Stories. Empowering Authors and Subject Matter Experts with Credibility and Reach.

Audience: Niche Industry Experts (B2B)

Project Duration: 2 months

Still Wild Stories is a boutique marketing agency delivering personalized strategies for authors and independent publishers. The agency elevates clients’ thought leadership with branding, content creation, and community-driven marketing.

  • The agency supports two clients with powerful but radically different stories: S. A. Thomas, a former Wall Street insider challenging conventional narratives of financial success, and Anna Maria Bounds, a CUNY professor spotlighting urban resilience during the pandemic. Both authors needed targeted public relations to amplify their work and break through crowded media landscapes—without the backing of a major publisher or PR firm.

  • Developed media kits, authored press releases, and executed targeted media relations for each client. Built a PR program to complement existing marketing efforts, focusing on credibility-building tactics like high-authority wire distribution, earned media placements, and branded search visibility. The goal was to increase book sales for two distinct audiences.

  • Brand Credibility and Traffic Performance

    • #1 ranking for branded search terms (author names + book titles)

    • 58% increase in traffic for Thomas, with 27% from referral sources

By amplifying bold, necessary thought leadership—on economic inequity, public preparedness, and the systems that shape our lives—we brought timely, underrepresented perspectives into public discourse.

Keith is an award-winning executive coach + master facilitator

Keith A Gruen. Scaling Conscious Leadership and Expanding Executive Reach.

Audience: C-Suite Executives at Fortune 1000 Companies (B2B)

Project Duration: 90 days

Keith is a conscious leadership coach who helps high-performing executives grow from the inside out—leading with greater clarity, empathy, and integrity in both their work and personal life.
