Stefanie Magness is a visibility strategist, PR expert, and passionate educator with 28+ years of corporate leadership experience, including COO-level roles. She’s the creator of The Visibility Stack™ framework and founder of The Elevate Desk, a $49/month subscription platform that curates 130+ monthly visibility opportunities—awards, speaking gigs, podcasts, and media features—for service professionals like coaches, consultants, realtors, and attorneys.
After her own visibility win with the Pine-Sol Award for Women Making a Difference led to features in Essence and Ebony magazines and paid speaking opportunities, Stefanie realized that most professionals can’t afford $5K-$10K PR retainers. So she built an affordable alternative that teaches them how to elevate themselves.
With a background as a former lobbyist, political candidate, and SBDC counselor who’s trained over 1,500 entrepreneurs, Stefanie brings real-world expertise to every stage she steps on. She’s also an Expert Instructor & Advisor with NCRC, teaching digital identity, online visibility, public relations, and sales & marketing strategies.
Stefanie’s approach? Sassy, direct, and unapologetically authentic. She’s not here to gatekeep—she’s here to teach you how to get visible, get recognized, and get paid.
