Hello everyone! I’m so happy to be here and grateful to have been welcomed into the Front Row Club. My name is Heidi Richards Mooney, and I’m a long-time entrepreneur, publisher, and marketing strategist who has spent much of my career helping women entrepreneurs become more visible and get found online. Over the years I’ve worn quite a few hats, including running a marketing and PR company, publishing WE Magazine for Women, and founding Women in Ecommerce, a global community dedicated to helping women grow their businesses and support one another. One of the things I love most about communities like this is the shared energy of women who are building something meaningful, businesses, movements, ideas, and sometimes entirely new ways of showing up in the world. I’ve always believed that visibility is more than marketing. It's about confidence, clarity, and connection and about surrounding ourselves with people who inspire us to step into the front row of our own work and voice. Outside of publishing and marketing, I’m also a florist (flowers have been part of my life for decades), an author, and someone who genuinely enjoys connecting people and ideas. I’m looking forward to learning from all of you and joining the conversation.

I thought it would be awesome to take a deep dive into some of the fabulous ideas inside this edition of the magazine and what better place to start with a provocative idea by by cover star - @Hayley Su Buchanan I quote from Hayley's illuminating article: "The frequency of success is not about ease as in “easy.” It is ease-filled. Ease-filled success still requires action. It still stretches you. It still asks you to step beyond what you’ve always done. In fact, transformation always demands movement. If you continue to operate the way you always have, you will continue to receive what you always have. But there is a profound difference between action driven by alignment and action driven by adrenaline. The frequency of success is ease-filled because your nervous system is not at war with your ambition. It is expansion without panic. It is movement without self-abandonment. It is growth without bracing for collapse. When I speak of The Extra Ordinary, this is what I mean. The recognition that abundance is not somewhere ahead of you. It is already here, encoded in the earth, in your breath, in your ability to create, in the rhythm of your life. The earth models success better than any entrepreneur. She grows. She blooms. She sheds. She rests. She returns. There is no performance in her harvest. No comparison between winter and spring. No urgency to force fruit out of season. Every season is success." The idea of Ease can be a stretch for many entrepreneurs ....what about you?

Thrilled to announce the publication of the March edition of Brand Runway! So many milestones involved in this magazine and the last month and a half: - a change of vision for the platform to an even more upgraded one (watch this space - it's epic) - retiring 5 columns and taking out 120 pages ('kill your darlings' thanks to @Kip Clarke ) - welcoming in 2 more aligned contributors - @Hayley Su Buchanan and @Clair Carrington to join @Sabine Matharu @Dina Behrman and @Sara Alepin - creating a new category of Legacy Columnist (as yet only attributed to one writer) - another fantastic My Fair Lady Transformation with @Karen Goodchild - about to take the magazine onto Instagram (look out IG) - announcing the new Spotlight Magazine next month with our Haute Visibility Circle members @Debbie McIntosh @AnYes van Rhijn @Farah Asif @Karen Goodchild @Katie Danaher @Kip Clarke strutting the global catwalk - welcoming in our first Runway Insiders @Carol Jack @Tara Hynes and @Alison Smith Each magazine comes with a saga, an enormous expansion, techie headaches, brain HIIT, and a commitment to fulfill the publicly declared 'genre' of Brand Runway thus: Brand Runway sits at the intersection of Vogue-level editorial sophistication and Forbes-level business authority. And my new strapline... well I'll let you discover it on the cover. It's replaced Marketing Just Got Fabulous because it just did. Next week, I propose we have a 'Frequency-Fest' and dive into the gorgeousness that is energy-first marketing. But first.. I'm having a large glass of Chardonnay.
