ABOUT STEPHANIE NIVINSKUS

I just took on one of the most meaningful roles of my career. Ragan Communications named me Principal of its Center for AI Strategy. In this role, I oversee the Center\'s news, insights, and member experience, working to ensure communications and marketing leaders have the AI intelligence they need to lead their organizations during this transformational time. I have been building towards this appointment for three decades. I started my career in corporate marketing at the dawn of the internet era. I watched a technology transform every rule we thought we knew about reaching people. I was there for the wireless app explosion in the social media upheaval of 2009, and the rise of content as a commercial force. Each shift required the same thing: the ability to see what was coming, tell the truth about it, and help organizations move before they had to. When generative AI arrived, I transformed SizzleForce Marketing, the consultancy I founded, into an AI-powered marketing agency. That was January 2023. Through SizzleForce, I offer- AI training for corporate teams and small businesses- AI consulting and strategic advisory on implementation for marketing and communications teams- Keynote speaking on AI strategy for corporate events, conferences, and leadership summits AI tools are only as effective as the systems behind them. That means building the right infrastructure around them: brand protection, content governance, workflow design, and human oversight. Organizations bring me in when they need AI ambition paired with operational discipline. What I bring- 30 years of marketing and communications leadership- Deep, hands-on expertise in AI adoption across global organizations- Experience training CEOs, founders, marketing teams, and internal communications professionals on governed AI implementation- Two bestselling books: one on branding, one on AI-powered marketing- Published in Forbes and Entrepreneur- AI keynote speaker who has shared the stage with Magic Johnson, Barbara Corcoran, and Marcus Lemonis- Certified women-owned business Who I work with: C-suite executives, marketing and communications leaders, and founders ready to implement AI with discipline, structure, and results. If you are looking for an AI trainer, an AI consultant, or an AI keynote speaker who has been doing this work since before it was trendy, let\'s connect.
