Turning Creative Vision into Market Influence with AI, Storytelling, and Strategic Visibility
Artificial intelligence is reshaping the creative landscape faster than any tool in history. The real question is how to use it with intention, authenticity, and vision. I guide brands, leaders, and creatives to harness AI as a collaborative partner, blending human creativity with machine intelligence to amplify storytelling, expand reach, and build trust in a noisy digital world.
Hello, Charlotte Creatives.
I am Barbara Rozgonyi, a marketing strategist, PR innovator, and digital storytelling guide. For over 25 years I have worked with visionary leaders and bold brands to transform big ideas into market-shaping influence. Whether you are a solo artist, agency founder, or corporate creative, I design strategies that elevate your presence, strengthen trust, and position you to stand out in a crowded market.
I have called Charlotte home for over six years, immersed in the city’s creative energy and connected through vibrant communities like the Charlotte Illini Club. As a proud University of Illinois alum, I know the power of bringing people, ideas, and opportunities together.
I launched wiredPRworks.com in 2006 when tweeting was still something birds did and co-founded Social Media Club Chicago, growing it to over 3,000 members. Today, I lead CoryWest Media, partnering with organizations from startups to Fortune 50 companies to integrate AI, SEO, and authentic PR into strategies that command attention and deliver measurable results.
At the core of my work is my WIRED PR in 4D Framework, a proven system for clarifying your voice, attracting the right audience, and turning attention into meaningful influence. It is flexible for creatives yet structured for serious business growth.
Ways We Can Work Together
Keynotes and Workshops – Engaging talks on AI, marketing, branding, and PR for creative growth
Fractional CMO Consulting – Strategic marketing leadership without the full-time hire
WIRED PR in 4D Framework – My signature approach for visibility and influence
Brand Story and Visibility Audits – Actionable insights to accelerate brand presence
When I am not strategizing campaigns or exploring the future of AI, you will find me behind the camera capturing travel photography, hosting my Growing Social Now podcast, or sparking new collaborations within Charlotte’s creative community.

Every day I admire my cat - he's got a plan, he gets what he wants and he's always quick to let you know exactly how he feels. Way too many people to mention.
