Why I Built AMPLIFY: A Retreat for Business Owners Who Want Clear Direction, Strategic Support and the Confidence to Execute Well

AMPLIFY is a three-day retreat in Nagambie for founders who need strategic direction, agency-level mentorship and a clear way to communicate their value. It gives you thinking room, practical clarity and the support to move from overwhelmed to confident execution so you can show up, be seen and build brand in a way that feels true to you.

Creative entrepreneurs, start-up dreamers, doers and founders like you are expected to make decisions quickly, build brands publicly, nurture communities, lead with confidence and stay creatively fuelled while doing it. You know you’re capable, yet you rarely feel caught up. It is not because you lack motivation. It is because you lack the time, perspective and access to guidance that understands how brands grow in the era of now, and how founders can get out of their own way.

That is why I built AMPLIFY. Three days in Nagambie. Thinking room. Agency-level mentorship. Practical brand clarity you can apply immediately and long after you leave. Oh and luxury accommodation!

Across my years working with founders and creatives, I’ve seen a consistent pattern. You produce constantly, yet often feel on mute. You’re committed to your work, but without the strategic support or reflection you need to pull the marketing levers in an efficient and effective way. You’re lacking in confidence to show up online. You’re under-resourced. And you need informed strategies and a sounding board that fit the creative rhythm of your business and demands of your world.

There’s also a quieter truth many founders share. You’re doing valuable work, yet it’s rarely mirrored back at the level it deserves. You’re looking for impact, amplification in the right way. You’re looking for strategic dialogue, creative rapport and space to get inspired and execute in ways that work for you and will connect with your ideal community.

AMPLIFY was built to create that environment. A three-day retreat in Nagambie designed to give you structure, strategic clarity and a small-group setting where you can finally get the support you deserve. Because communications clarity for your creative business or start-up doesn’t emerge in chaos. Confidence doesn’t grow in isolation. Execution ability is cultivated through momentum, supported by movement and strengthened by mindset.

Across the retreat you explore identity, purpose, voice, values, positioning, audience, messaging, visual strategy, marketing, PR thinking and amplification. This is not theory on a screen. This is not shelf help. It is personal, reflective and deeply practical. Participants who have experienced raraPR courses, education programs, clarity consults, brand therapy sessions and workshops often arrive overwhelmed, uninspired and uncertain – but they leave feeling settled, ready to be seen and finally able to articulate what they stand for.

AMPLIFY is for founders, creatives, leaders and quiet rebels like you – the ones great at making the thing but muted when it comes to marketing. Or the ones who know what to say but not where to execute it. Or the ones who simply can’t keep pace with the ever-changing nature of new media, social media, PR, influencer partnerships and brand building, and need a little “help me Rhonda” from team raraPR.

AMPLIFY – the very first of our raraRETREATS – was created to make world-class PR and marketing more accessible to creative small business. It’s a curated learning experience designed to help you return to your business with the clarity, confidence and capability to communicate with intention, in a way that builds real brand impact.

raraRETREATS exists because business owners deserve space, strategy and direction that helps them tap into public relations, social media, content creation, digital marketing, brand partnerships, publicity and marketing strategies that big business access and that we know work; and that more easily help you reach the hearts and minds of the people who want what you’ve got.

AMPLIFY is designed to lift confidence, brighten your brilliance and create more peace of mind that brings about a flow state across business and life.
