Executive Branding Services
Executive Branding Services for the Aspiring Executive with Big Dreams
Your next career move is right around the corner
Hi, I’m Melanie L. Denny, President of Resume-Evolution.
As a personal branding consultant and award-winning resume expert, I work with executive women who dream of landing their next Director+ position, securing a board seat or starting a new business venture.
Through my C.R.E.A.M. self-marketing framework, I show them exactly how to clarify their goals, reposition their brilliance, embrace their uniqueness, articulate their value, market their expertise and sell themselves so they land their next executive role with salary increases of $15K to $50K+.
Why offer executive branding services?
Many clients come to me because they feel overwhelmed with the job search and are unsure how to position themselves as the executive leader that they are. It’s not surprising since no one taught you how to market yourself. But it doesn’t have to be this way. Confidently packaging your brilliance and showing up as the obvious choice doesn’t have to be a struggle.
I started Resume-Evolution in 2009 as a resume writing business and I decided to pivot into offering executive branding services because I enjoyed working with aspiring executives who knew they were ready for the next step, but couldn’t create a compelling story that resonated with those looking for their exact skill set. I realized that a lot of brilliant professionals (particularly women) need my help and too often they are winging it, selling themselves short and leaving money on the table.
How is Resume-Evolution different?
Our executive branding services are comprehensive and is based on a proprietary framework that works. Our services are not limited to a just website or a resume.

Value Proposition Letters
Some career professionals believe cover letters are dead, and we agree that they are. In their place, value proposition letters have emerged as a necessary component of your self-marketing campaign.
A cover letter introduces you to the potential organization, a beautifully crafted value proposition letter reinforces your career story without rehashing the resume or boring the reader to death.
Instead of submitting your typical run-of-the-mill letters that don’t get read, let us craft a powerful, concise, value proposition letter that positions you as a valuable asset to the potential organization.
E-notes
It’s all about finding people – not jobs.
The reality is, more than 80% of jobs aren’t advertised and 70% of jobs are found through networking. So, what does that mean for you? Direct connections are vital to your job search success.
With a customizable e-note (short for electronic note), you can make a strong initial impression when introducing yourself to your future boss, recruiters in your field or HR reps at the companies you’re targeting.
You will have something powerful, interesting and relevant to say that will spark the reader’s excitement and make them want to talk to you about joining their team right away.
LinkedIn Profile Optimization
94% of recruiters are looking for candidates just like you on LinkedIn, but your profile sounds dull, boring and generic! Am I right?
Don’t have a clue how to make it better?
Each one of our team members have been trained on exactly how to optimize your LinkedIn profile so you actually show up in recruiter searches for the job opportunities you’ve been dreaming of.
We break down each section of your profile and create an intriguing, keyword-rich headline, including a personable summary and an achievement-driven experience section, with your strongest, most relevant skills so you become a sought-after candidate among recruiters in your field.
We also design a branded, custom banner to make sure your profile has that added touch of class.
You will finally have a LinkedIn profile that you are proud of; one that turns heads; one that *pops* and makes recruiters want to call you to fill their open positions ASAP.
Leveraging LinkedIn Training
