What happens when a decorated military officer, a trailblazing engineer, and a purpose-driven leader decides to step into the spotlight—and speak?
With the right team, she becomes unstoppable.
Jenn Donahue had already built a powerful legacy. She’d led troops into combat zones, constructed bridges in earthquake-ravaged areas, and founded a thriving engineering firm. Her leadership had shaped lives, lifted teams, and built literal foundations around the world.
But when it came to building her own platform? That was uncharted territory.
Jenn came to Dream Agency with a vision: she wanted to become a paid leadership speaker, share her story, and inspire people to lead with courage and compassion.
But she had no personal brand. No website. No strategy. No online presence. And no idea where to start.
What did she have? A mission worth amplifying—and a willingness to trust the process.
This is the story of how we helped Jenn go from unknown… to unstoppable.
The Mission Was Clear. The Path? Not Yet.
From the beginning, we knew Jenn wasn’t just another client, she was a movement in the making.
She had over 27 years of experience leading in high-stakes environments. She had a message rooted in empathy, resilience, and service. She had the heart of a servant leader and the strength of a warrior.
But like many high-achievers, Jenn was stuck in the cycle of doing everything herself. Running a business, advising clients, and managing a team.
She wasn’t visible online yet. Her story wasn’t being heard yet. And most importantly, she wasn’t being paid to speak, yet.
That’s where we came in.
Building the Brand Behind the Mission
At Dream Agency, we don’t just “make things look good”—we build powerful, strategic brands designed to amplify purpose and attract aligned opportunities.
For Jenn, that meant going deep.
✨ We clarified her message.
✨ We defined her unique voice.
✨ We identified her core audience.
✨ And we created a brand that reflected the bold, wise, and inspiring leader she truly is.
We started with a full brand strategy—uncovering what made Jenn different, and how to communicate that with impact. We designed a personal brand that felt strong, modern, and rooted in authenticity.
Then came the content. We helped her craft powerful messaging that connected with decision-makers across industries—people who weren’t just looking for a speaker, but a leader who had been there.
With a fresh visual identity, a purpose-driven website, and a compelling speaker reel, Jenn was ready to be seen.
Turning Story Into Strategy
But visibility is only part of the equation. To turn influence into income, you need systems that scale.
That’s why we built a strategic content ecosystem—from Google Ads and SEO to LinkedIn newsletters and branded graphics. We helped Jenn turn her thoughts into thought leadership, and her ideas into impact.
In just 30 minutes a month, Jenn would send us her insights and we would transform them into high-converting, high-integrity content that truly represented her.
We built her LinkedIn following from 500 to over 5,000. Her newsletter consistently hit open rates of 74%+.
Her website became a lead-generating machine. And her Google Ads topped out at an 84% conversion rate.
This wasn’t about going viral.
This was about building a brand that works, on autopilot.
The Results? Game-Changing.
In 2.5 years of working together, Jenn booked:
💥 80+ paid speaking engagements
💥 Over $206,500 in speaking revenue
💥 A $12,500 keynote (her highest-paid yet)
💥 2,000+ newsletter subscribers
💥 30,000+ website visitors
💥 Connections with top decision-makers in corporate, military, and engineering sectors
And the best part? She didn’t have to sacrifice her time, energy, or authenticity to get there.
She stayed focused on her mission. We handled the execution.
Together, we built something powerful.
Jenn’s story isn’t an exception. It’s a reminder of what’s possible when you stop playing small and start showing up for your vision.
You don’t need to have it all figured out.
You don’t need to post every day or chase trends.
You just need a clear message, a beautiful brand, and a smart strategy to bring it to life.
