The Alignthority® Strategy Sprint
A Collaborative Marketing & Business Idea Incubator Fueled by the Alignthority® System
Every great business idea starts with a spark—and my business, content, and marketing consulting process known as the Alignthority® Strategy Spring (formerly “Spark Sessions”) is designed just for you.
Looking to make a pivot? Reach a new audience? Rebuild your offers? Market in a way that suits your strengths? Develop an evergreen content-fueled marketing funnel?
The Strategy Sprint will get you there—using my signature Alignthority® system.
The methodology used in each of the facilitated Spark Sessions included in the Alignthority® Strategy Sprint is deeply co-creative & collaborative, so you can succeed on your terms.
The outcomes of working together are intentionally structured to be flexible and meet you where you’re at today. That means my marketing and business strategist brain is on your biggest challenges, using the Alignthority® System to help you move forward. We’ll choose an area of emphasis (offers, content, or frameworks) and move organically through my signature process together. This co-creative process unfolds over three 1:1 marketing & business (you can’t separate the marketing and the business—the two goals must be aligned) strategy intensives with me that we call Spark Sessions.
We call these workshops Spark Sessions because they’re designed to do just that: Spark the flame you need for your next level, whatever that may be.
The Alignthority® Sprint and the facilitated Spark Sessions process puts my 20 years as a marketing and business strategist directly onto your biggest challenges. Using the Alignthority® System, we move beyond surface-level tactics to build a sustainable, human-centered engine for your business.
We’ll choose a primary area of emphasis—Offers, Content, or Frameworks—and move organically through my signature process to achieve your specific goals.
We don't just talk—we engineer a single high-value offer, content strategy, or a framework that allows you to increase your rates or close new clients faster. Most clients see the path to ROI before our final session.
Strategic outcomes we can architect together in the Alignthority® Strategy Sprint:
The Framework: Develop the proprietary methodology that powers your entire messaging and marketing ecosystem.
The Authority: Architect your brand’s Topical Authority for the AI-search era—moving beyond outdated keyword-matching to become the definitive, trusted answer in your niche.
The Visual Story: Create a compelling visual narrative for sales calls that inspires high-value prospects to say, “Yes, let's do it!”
The Joyful Offer: Engineer a new productized service that is as profitable as it is joyful for you to deliver.
The Content Engine: Plan a full year of search-optimized content that builds long-term equity and visibility.
The Market Pivot: Identify and speak to a new, sophisticated audience that is ready to invest in your premium services.
The Passive Layer: Design the positioning and funnel for your infoproducts or re-conceive your course format for maximum student impact.
The Messaging Overhaul: Refine your brand voice to resonate with high-level clients who value depth over hustle.
Capacity Note: To maintain the high-collaboration "incubator" environment and ensure deep-dive strategic focus, I only facilitate one Alignthority® Strategy Sprint per month.

I love having Sarah as a resource. If you’re struggling with something in your marketing or even just wondering if an idea is worthwhile, she’s a great thought partner.”

FAQ About the Alignthority® Strategy Sprint (Formerly Spark Sessions)
The Strategy Sprint is currently $3,600 and payment plans offered without penalty. If you've been looking for a way to pivot without the hustle, Spark Sessions was built to be a self-sustaining investment. Instead of vague advice, we focus on engineering a single, high-value framework that makes your sales process feel easy and supports a rate increase. My goal is for you to see the concrete path to ROI before our final session, ensuring your business growth is both sustainable and profitable.
-
I have a couple of paths that are popular for clients following the Strategy Sprint:
1. A quarterly Strategic Tune-Up Subscription, which includes two priority questions and thorough answers/analysis each month as well as a quarterly feedback video reviewing your progress.
2. Monthly 1:1 Alignthority® Strategy Sessions as a special past client subscription rate.
Both are great options for lightweight support as you need it! -
Spark Sessions is currently $3,600. Payment plans are available without penalty.
I view Spark Sessions as a self-sustaining investment, not an expense. We move past the brainstorming'phase quickly to engineer a high-value offer, content strategy, or framework that specifically simplifies your sales process. By aligning your expertise with clear action steps, you’re able to increase your rates and market with confidence. Most of my clients see a clear path to ROI before our final session is even over.

This is a 1:1 solution, but you are welcome to share your recordings with your team!
-
We'll discuss this both in your complimentary Alignment Call and in our first session, in which we set goals together.
However, we generally identify your top priorities. Clients often select two or so of the following:
Content strategy
Framework development
Offer refinement and creation
Messaging and message strategy
SEO funnel development
Some sort of hybrid of the above
The reality is that I know every single client is unique, and every solution is unique, that's why all of my services are flexible and custom.
-
These are two entirely different services!
Strategy sessions are for one you need a quick, one hour advice session.
The six week Strategy Sprint (formerly Spark Sessions) sprint is focused work together. You have access to me outside of our sessions (Voxer or email), and we work together towards solving your biggest challenges.
I call this program an “idea incubator” for a reason. You come to me with an idea, it could be very vague such as “I need to rethink my offers” or extremely concrete such as “I want to position myself as the leading expert on my subject matter,” and I use my Alignthority® methodology to work with you through that idea and help bring it to life.
-
I love this—it’s always smart to align your foundation work with an SEO overhaul. Much of the time, unless your site is very small, it will be a better value to do our Alignthority® Accelerator instead of these two standalone services. You can also start with Spark Sessions and upgrade to the accelerator within 90 days.
-
Fun fact: About half of my Spark Sessions clients are exactly that!
Creatives are often so excellent at their jobs, they don’t give themselves space to get really strategic. If you’re a designer, I also have a three month mentoring and business coaching program that may interest you.

If you’re ready to take a strategic step forward, it all starts with a simple alignment call to get to know each other and help us better understand your big vision. Or, get a quick win with a 1:1 strategic consulting session with Sarah.
