Steph Wagner is a nationally recognized financial strategist, author, and National Director of Women & Wealth at Northern Trust. After stepping away from a high-powered finance career to raise her children, she was blindsided when her husband left—forcing her to start over financially, professionally, and emotionally. That crucible became her calling. Her debut book, Fly! A Woman's Guide to Financial Freedom and Building a Life You Love, became an instant Amazon bestseller. Her work bridges institutional expertise with deeply personal experience—offering women financial guidance that feels like partnership, not prescription.

When Steph partnered with Spitfiregirl, she brought powerful personal experience, institutional authority, and a transformative book—but no cohesive brand presence or digital strategy to match. Working in close collaboration with her publisher and PR team, we built the foundation for her author platform: clarifying her narrative, developing her visual identity, and creating a structured social media ecosystem to support her book launch and position her as a leading voice in women's financial empowerment.

Personal Brand Strategy
Brand Identity

Our work brought Steph’s full story into focus online—not just her role as a senior leader in finance, but the lived experience that gives her message weight. We developed a clear author platform that holds both: institutional authority and hard-earned perspective. Fly! is often described by Steph as a women’s empowerment book disguised as a finance book, and our strategy honored that duality—creating a brand that speaks to money, confidence, independence, and identity all at once.

The platform also reflects the breadth of her audience. Steph’s work resonates not only with women rebuilding after major life changes, but with younger women navigating early career decisions, financial independence, and unexpected pivots. We shaped her narrative, visual identity, and social presence to meet women at multiple stages—offering guidance that feels relevant whether they’re starting over or just starting out.

Over a five-month period surrounding the launch of Fly!, Steph’s platform saw consistent, meaningful growth. Instagram followers increased by 114%, while LinkedIn impressions grew by 131.93%, signaling expanded reach within professional, media, and reader communities. Engagement rose alongside visibility, reinforcing that her content wasn’t just being seen—it was connecting.


Building an author platform rooted in professional credibility and personal truth

Working with Spitfiregirl was one of the most                      decisions I made leading up to the launch of my first book, Fly!. They didn’t just help me show up online—they helped me clarify who I am, what I stand for, and how to communicate that with confidence and intention.

They helped me shape a personal brand that feels honest, elevated, and truly mine. Their strategy, design, and social media work brought cohesion to my message and confidence to how I show up. I never felt pushed into a trend or a persona—only supported in telling my story with integrity and credibility.

This was a thoughtful, strategic partnership that gave me a strong foundation not just for the launch of Fly!, but for everything that comes next.
