Charleston Pierce on Runway Confidence and the Power of Human Presence

|
By Susye Weng-Reeder
| SincerelySusye
Fashion has always been about more than clothing. A memorable runway walk requires confidence, personality, and an understanding of how to present yourself to an audience. As a San Francisco creator and influencer, I was invited to model in a local celebrity runway show for the Do It for Love Foundation, connected to New York Fashion Week and celebrity stylist and designer Carlton Jones.

Why San Francisco Ballet and Opera Need More Than Influencer Exposure

|
By Susye Weng-Reeder
| SincerelySusye
San Francisco Ballet and San Francisco Opera have something many creators would consider extraordinary access to culture. Season-long creator partnerships can provide repeated opportunities to experience performances, dress for opening nights, and introduce audiences to the performing arts. But access itself is not a marketing result. If creators receive recurring access throughout a season, institutions should eventually ask what that access produced.

I Didn’t Optimize for AI Search. So Why Did I Keep Appearing?

|
By Susye Weng-Reeder
| SincerelySusye
I keep seeing increasingly complicated SEO, AEO, and GEO diagrams appear in my LinkedIn feed. Many begin reasonably enough, then expand into three separate columns of tasks, followed by another layer underneath for outputs, measurements, and checks. By the bottom of some charts, publishing a blog post looks suspiciously like launching a small satellite. Complete twenty SEO tasks, then move into another collection of AEO recommendations before tackling GEO.

Have you ever used a typewriter?

Yes! I learned to type in high school on an actual typewriter. You had to hit the keys HARD, and I used those little white correction sheets to fix mistakes. Somehow I went from typewriters to writing books, publishing online, and working with AI. That evolution still makes me laugh.

How is social media changing news?

Social media made information immediate. AI is changing what happens next. People increasingly move from a social post to Google, ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and other AI-powered discovery tools to understand a person, brand, place, or story more deeply. For publishers and creators, the opportunity is no longer only being seen in the moment. It is creating credible work that can remain discoverable after the social cycle moves on.

How do you prefer to be pitched on stories?

Tell me you found my work through ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, or another AI search, then send a concise email with the opportunity, scope, timeline, and paid partnership budget. Those pitches definitely get my attention.
