The Story Behind The Name…
Inspired by Alison’s lifelong status as the quintessential “eldest daughter,” we took the first two letters from each word and combined them to form Elda Strategies.
All members of our team strive to uphold the eldest sibling qualities of:
Intuitive Leadership
Reliability
Empathy
A Note from Our FounderThroughout my decade as a marketing consultant for executives and celebrities, I quickly realized what my clients actually came to me most for were the tender topics around marketing; their fears about dealing with the aggression of public opinion and the media, navigating major career shifts (band breakups, leaving long-time agents and managers, retaliation from business partners, etc.), navigating their stress and anxiety on red carpets, or figuring out how to not get burned out during a media tour.
Simultaneously, I was experiencing my own transformation in my approach to my career after navigating a series of debilitating periods of burnout. My nervous system was fried. My house was a mess. My health was in the gutter. I had juggled all the plates and hit all my marks. I achieved all that was asked of me…but my energy was so depleted that I didn’t have the capacity to do the things I loved, or even enjoy spending time with my friends.
I knew I loved my work, but that I needed to design better approaches to the seasonal shifts. I began training in reiki, meditation, yoga, psychology, and holistic wellness tactics to evolve the way I wanted to move in my life and career. Through my own burnout recovery process, and working with clients, I realized that many of us have been killing ourselves to survive moments in our careers that should feel joyous, but often just feel exhausting.
It can feel lonely and isolating working in fields most of our loved ones don’t fully understand. It’s hard to articulate or even anticipate what we need until we need it in the strange environments we find ourselves in. It’s a delicate balance that’s hard to articulate unless you’ve lived it. And I’ve lived it, both in and out of the spotlight.
That’s why I’m so passionate about what we offer our clients. Trailblazers, innovators, and visionaries lead unique lives, and with that comes unique requirements for care and maintenance. In industries where people’s motivations are often selfish, money is a driving force, and the machine is always demanding more, Elda Strategies is committed to being the team you can count on to actually put your wellbeing first. We take pride in offering that “second sight” to anticipate your needs and offer perspectives to help you feel your best in the midst of even the most chaotic seasons.
Consider me your new big sister looking out for you, your “second brain”, your personal champion. It is my great honor to partner with you to formulate holistic strategies that help you thrive through your creative life.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
We suggest contacting us as early as possible so we can reserve your dates, as our team’s availability is limited and applications must be approved. The sooner we are made aware of your dates, the better we can support you. If you find yourself with an unexpected opportunity or last-minute event (less than a month’s notice), inquire with us about rush schedules and fees.

You name it, we probably support it.
Most common events include: book tours, speaking tours, fan conventions or meet and greet events, press and media tours, launch and promotional events, ticketed shows, premieres and concerts, private parties and presentations, and beyond. Both public-facing and private/industry-only events are covered.
-
Each member of your team has important roles regarding the business side of your life, but there are limits to their scopes of work. Those limits tend to produce gaps around clients’ mental, physical, and emotional wellbeing, despite being critical to ensuring both longevity and enjoyment of your career.
Most public figures are left to worry about those elements entirely on their own, often leading to overwhelm, exhaustion, and burnout that not only affects their wellbeing, but can negatively impact future opportunities.
We believe our clients should enjoy the careers they’ve worked so hard to build, so our services are designed to fill those gaps. We create deep personal connections with our clients to support them holistically before, during, and after busy seasons in their careers to reduce the weight of the mental load, anticipate needs, build healthy systems, and smooth over the parts of events, tours, interviews, etc. that they dread.
-
While we can’t always guarantee certain team member’s availability, clients are encouraged to share any preferences as soon as possible. We do our best to pair you with the most compatible event advocates and prioritize those local to the event location to reduce travel fees. If you would like to request the same advocate join you on a series of event dates or for a full tour, let us know!
