About us

Your unique experiences, bold ideas, and hard-won insights shouldn't stay locked inside boardrooms or buried in your LinkedIn drafts.

Cursive Media exists because we believe the most transformative leaders are often the quietest ones—and it's time to change that.

We partner with underrepresented founders and C-suite executives who are ready to step into their power, share their vision, and reshape entire industries. Because when you find your voice, you don't just build a brand—you build a movement.

Through deep strategy, authentic storytelling, and relentless advocacy, we transform visionary leaders into influential voices who:

  • Command attention in their industries
  • Attract the right opportunities and partnerships
  • Inspire others to follow their lead
  • Create lasting change beyond their companies

Every great leader has a story that could change everything. We help you tell yours.

Our AI philosophy
In a world drowning in AI-generated noise, authentic human perspective has never been more valuable. We embrace AI as a powerful tool to accelerate research and optimize operational tasks, to ensure every exec brand we craft remains deeply human, uniquely you, and emotionally resonant.

We will always be transparent about where we use AI and we believe it will never replace human interaction, critical thinking, or craft.
Sar Ruddenklau - Founder
Over several years in startup marketing and communications, I noticed that founder thought leadership consistently drove the biggest revenue impact. Cursive Media was born to help more diverse voices become the influential leaders their industries need.

The explosion of generic, AI-generated content was my final wake-up call. In a world of increasing sameness, your authentic voice isn't just an asset—it's a superpower.

I built Cursive Media for the leaders who are tired of watching from the sidelines. For the founders who know they have something important to say. For the executives who are ready to stop being the industry's best-kept secret.

Let’s build something bold, lasting, and unmistakably you.

Questions

(and answers)
What makes Cursive different from other agencies?

While other agencies dazzle you with jargon and hand your project to overworked juniors, we're seasoned professionals who believe in the power of real relationships. We don't just want to know your business metrics—we want to understand your fire, your frustration, and your vision for what could be.

Do you only work with certain industries?

We work with underrepresented B2B founders and C-suite executives across all industries who value original thinking and authentic leadership. If you believe the world needs more diverse voices at the top, we want to work with you.

How do you work with my marketing team?

Your executive brand amplifies everything your marketing team does—it doesn't compete with it. A powerful founder voice can reduce advertising spend, accelerate deal cycles, and attract top talent. We collaborate with your team to ensure our work elevates theirs.

How do you measure success?

We start by understanding where you are and where you dream of being. Then we set meaningful KPIs that matter to your business and hold ourselves accountable to them. Success looks different for everyone, but it always includes measurable impact on your influence and your bottom line.

How long does a typical project take?

Building a strong thought leadership and media presence is a journey, not a sprint. Real change takes time, and we ask for a minimum three-month commitment to start moving the needle.

How do I know this will work?

We're so confident in our approach that if you're not thrilled with our process and deliverables after the first month, we'll refund your fee and reassess. Because we don't just believe in our work—we believe in you.
