I brand the person behind the business, then build the PR and visibility that make them easier to recognize, trust, and hire.
I help founders, executives, authors, speakers, podcast hosts, and established experts turn real experience into visible authority through personal branding, public relations, press releases, podcast publicity, media visibility, and thought leadership.
I’m Adrienne Barker, MAS, founder of PressLaunch.vip and creator of AuthorityAudit.vip. I bring more than 35 years of business experience, over $100K earned on Upwork, and hands-on expertise building, launching, promoting, and strengthening professional brands.
HOW I CAN HELP
• Personal brand and authority positioning
• Authority audits with prioritized recommendations
• PR strategy and newsworthy story development
• Press release writing, editing, and distribution
• Podcast guest booking and customized outreach
• Podcast production, promotion, and content repurposing
• Founder, author, business, and book-launch visibility
• Executive bios, speaker positioning, and media materials
• LinkedIn thought leadership that supports the larger PR strategy
WHAT MAKES MY WORK DIFFERENT
Many freelancers complete one isolated marketing task. I connect the pieces.
Your positioning, press coverage, podcast appearances, LinkedIn presence, content, books, websites, and search footprint should all reinforce the same message. When they do not, you create activity without building authority.
I look at the person, the business, the audience, and the opportunity. Then I determine what you should be known for, why people should believe you, and which visibility channels will move you toward the right opportunities.
SELECTED EXPERIENCE
• Founder of PressLaunch.vip, a press release writing and distribution platform
• Creator of AuthorityAudit.vip and the AuthorityShift™ framework
• Produced or promoted more than 20 podcasts, including multiple charting shows
• Booked more than 1,000 podcast guests
• Author of five books
• Built an audience of more than 17,500 LinkedIn followers
• Former SCORE Chapter Chair and Certified Mentor
• Master Advertising Specialist, a designation earned by fewer than 2% of promotional products professionals
• Top Rated Upwork professional with a 100% Job Success Score
I work best with accomplished people who have genuine expertise but need stronger positioning, better visibility, and a practical strategy for becoming known as the authority in their space.
Tell me what you want to be known for, what you are launching, and who needs to notice. I will help you determine the clearest path forward, including where your current visibility is helping you and where it may be quietly costing you opportunities.

I am a freelance Mental Health and Genetic Wellness professional with extensive experience in writing, clinical support, coaching, and education. I partner with individuals, practitioners, and organizations to create high-quality content and training that supports mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being.
My background is interdisciplinary and includes training in psychology, mental health interventions, social work, case management, and genetic wellness. I am a Certified Genetic Wellness Coach with in-depth knowledge of how genetic SNPs influence mental health, physical health, and overall wellness, allowing me to deliver content that is both science-informed and practical.
I have significant experience developing, writing, and facilitating mental health–focused training courses and trauma-informed educational content. This includes research and development of curricula, facilitation of virtual and in-person trainings, and presenting complex material to small and mid-sized groups in a clear, engaging way.
In addition to training and educational content, I write blogs, articles, training manuals, and mental health–based journals. I also have hands-on experience with Amazon KDP, including formatting manuscripts and journals, uploading content, and managing Amazon listings.
My experience extends into clinical and administrative support, including case notes, biopsychosocial assessments, treatment plans, treatment plan reviews, and documentation for insurance billing. I am highly organized, detail-oriented, and known for clear, consistent communication throughout every project.
I would love to support your vision—whether that means building content from the ground up, refining existing materials, or providing dependable support to help your project succeed.
