Influence rarely lives where an industry has learned to look for it.
Recognizing influence is one skill. Understanding its commercial value, and knowing how to put it to work, is another.
The Insider
I’m more insider than founder.
For more than two decades, I have worked inside talent representation, fashion, luxury, bridal, media and the creator economy.
I did not watch the bridal and wedding industry encounter the creator economy from a distance. Through SEA MGMNT, I represented creators while working with brands, retailers, media organizations, markets and event platforms learning how to engage them.
That experience led me to a larger question:
How do people make decisions when they are becoming someone new?

Life Chapter Marketing™
Industries see transactions.
People experience transitions.
“Frost & Co., whose influence strategy continues to shape how bridal fashion connects with today’s bride.”
Across bridal, jewelry, fashion, luxury retail, real estate, talent development and creator communities, I kept returning to the same observation: significant life transitions change what people value, who they trust and how they make decisions.
That observation became Life Chapter Marketing™, a framework for understanding how changes in identity shape consumer behavior and how companies can participate meaningfully in those chapters.
Frost & Co. is where I put that perspective to work.
“Frost & Co., whose influence strategy continues to shape how bridal fashion connects with today’s bride.”
