    It is common knowledge that mothers and daughters often disagree on fashion trends, music and, of course, matters of the heart. However, my daughter, a recent college graduate, and I, a practicing attorney for some thirty years, have no disagreement regarding Stacey Cohen’s qualifications as a branding expert! Her insights on communications, PR and marketing resonate with both of us. We wholeheartedly agree that Stacey’s professional guidance is transformative and transcends generations.

    I have had the pleasure of having Stacey participate in two recent Luxury Marketing Council events and each time she was an insightful and dynamic speaker and panel participant. She has an uncanny ability to draw out key issues and interesting facts and then the best in the audience making for a great conversation.

    Stacey Cohen presents leading-edge insight into today’s world of business. The seminar I attended on personal branding was extremely helpful and thought-provoking. Alongside offering practical advice, Stacey Cohen was also very attentive towards her audience and its questions. After the seminar, I had the chance to meet her in person and she took time to listen to my goals and offer specific advice geared towards becoming highly competitive in my industry.

  • When Mercy University organized a digital inclusion event on our Bronx campus in 2023 we knew that including Stacey Cohen in the program as a panelist and session leader would provide invaluable insights and experiences for our high school participants. Stacey provided hands-on instruction to help them understand the significance of their digital footprints and guidance in taking the first steps of building their personal brands.  We were so fortunate that Stacey brought her brand-building expertise to our program.

  • Stacey, a powerhouse in PR and branding, is also an amazing speaker, author, and educator. She presented a workshop that engaged and inspired the executives in the Fall Women Leaders on the Rise program at the GWU Center for Excellence in Public Leadership. Her workshop convinced the women of the why and how of building a personal brand to ensure a growing career in these challenging times. If you have the chance to hire Stacey to speak to your group, I promise you will be grateful, as will the audience, who will shower her with questions and a desire to listen to her all day.
