AI Disclosure

On file

Criterion 02 of the vetting standard. Every listed agency publishes how it uses artificial intelligence, in its own words. Using AI is not a mark against an agency. Concealing it is, and so is using it to build a perception a client has not earned.

We use AI daily, and we say so. It handles research, competitive scans, and first-pass outlines. It does not write the final word of an executive's thought leadership, because a position a leader cannot defend in a room is worth nothing. Clients receive a per-asset note of what was AI-assisted.

This disclosure is a permanent part of the listing. An agency can revise it at any time as its practice changes, but it cannot be removed while the agency is listed.

About Northstar Executive Image

Northstar works exclusively with leaders of public and pre-IPO companies, where visibility is not optional and every published word is read by analysts, regulators, and employees at once.

Engagements run twelve months minimum. The first quarter is diagnostic: what the market currently believes about a leader, and what they would need to believe instead.

Services in detail

  • Executive positioning

    Defining the two or three ideas a leader should be known for, then building a publishing cadence that compounds rather than scatters.

  • Keynote placement

    Direct outreach to conference programmers, with a speaker package built from the positioning work rather than a generic bio.

  • Board visibility

    Preparing leaders for board consideration by making their track record legible to people who have never met them.

They told me which two ideas to stop talking about. That was worth the fee on its own.
