Your competitors read every post, so the win isn’t volume, it’s a category argument they can’t copy without conceding it.
By industry
LinkedIn Thought Leadership by Industry
We build LinkedIn thought leadership by industry because the method is portable and the material isn’t. Positioning, voice capture and a weekly interview work the same way everywhere. What you’re allowed to say, who has to approve it, and what your buyers accept as proof change completely between a payments company, a hospital group and a tool-and-die shop.
- Content pillars drawn from your sector, not from a generic calendar
- An approval route that fits your compliance or risk function
- Writers briefed on your domain before the first draft

Why we build LinkedIn thought leadership by industry, not by template
Three things change when you cross from one industry to another, and all three sit upstream of the writing.
What counts as proof. A SaaS buyer is persuaded by a founder who can argue about the category and show the product reasoning behind a decision. A bank’s third-party risk team is persuaded by a founder who sounds like someone who has already answered 200 diligence questions. A value-analysis committee in a hospital wants evidence with its limitations stated. Same service, three different kinds of credibility, and the wrong one reads as noise.
What you’re allowed to say. A partner at a law firm can describe a legal problem but not a client matter. A MedTech CEO can describe a clinical workflow but cannot make a product claim outside the cleared labelling. A Dubai developer can publish a view on supply and absorption, but naming a unit at a price turns the post into a property advertisement with its own permit requirement. These aren’t details to tidy up at the approval stage. They decide which pillars exist at all.
Who you’re actually writing to. In most industries the person who signs isn’t the person who shortlists. A manufacturer is writing to a specifying engineer, a purchasing lead and a distributor’s rep, who want three different posts. An ecommerce founder’s customers aren’t on LinkedIn at all, but their next retail buyer, acquirer and head of operations are.
Templated industry pages skip all three and write the same page ten times with a noun swapped. The pages below are built on sector reality, which is why they read differently from each other.
What doesn’t change
The engine is the same in every sector. Positioning first, so the posts add up to something. A recorded interview, so the words are yours. A documented voice guide, so a second writer produces the same sound as the first. A fixed cadence, so consistency stops depending on your calendar. Your approval before anything publishes.
That machinery is described in full on the LinkedIn ghostwriting agency page and, for the positioning work that comes before it, on LinkedIn personal branding agency. The pages below don’t repeat it. They cover what your industry adds on top.
Ten industries we write in
Fintech
Your buyer’s risk committee is the real audience, and compliance review is a workflow we design around rather than a blocker we complain about.
Healthcare & MedTech
Content about care delivery, evidence and procurement in health systems, with a hard line between a composite story and a real patient.
Legal & Compliance
Referral-building content that never reads as advice or as advertising, produced in fifteen dictated minutes between matters.
Professional Services
You are the product, so the content gives away the framework and keeps the judgement, and filters out the wrong size of project.
Education & Coaching
A saturated category where the only real differentiator is a visible method and the discipline not to claim outcomes you can’t substantiate.
E-commerce & DTC
Your customers live on Instagram. Your retail buyers, acquirers, suppliers and senior hires are here.
Real Estate & PropTech
Market authority on cycle, capital and delivery, kept clearly separate from advertising a listing.
Manufacturing & Industrial
You have a factory, which means specificity is free for you and impossible for a software company to fake.
Travel & Hospitality
Owners, asset managers, brands and the GMs you want to hire, none of whom are reading your hotel’s Instagram.
How a writer gets up to speed in your sector
We don’t claim a decade in your industry. We claim a method for extracting what’s already in your head, plus enough preparation that the interview isn’t wasted teaching us vocabulary.
Before the first call we read your last 90 days of posts, your three closest competitors’ posts, your own published material, and whichever primary documents your sector runs on: product docs and release notes, regulatory filings, instructions for use, a judgment or two, a spec sheet, an owner’s management agreement. We build a working glossary and send it to you to correct, including the terms you think are nonsense.
Then there’s a second call that isn’t with you. We ask for 30 minutes with the person in your organisation who answers hard technical questions: a solutions engineer, a compliance officer, a quality manager, a medical affairs lead, a knowledge lawyer. It costs them half an hour and it removes most of the drafts you’d otherwise have to correct.
Why three of these pages aren’t about ghostwriting
Three industries get a different service as the entry point, because the job is different.
Real estate and hospitality start with personal branding. In both, the executive’s name travels between companies and deals. Positioning and profile matter more than output volume at the start, and a developer or a hotel group usually has a marketing function already producing brand content.
Manufacturing starts with thought leadership across a small group of people rather than one founder. The CEO alone rarely has the detail buyers want. A programme of three to five voices, including the engineering lead and a plant manager, works better, which is why that page links to corporate personal branding.

Items marked Sample are anonymised, illustrative examples written to typical industry ranges. They are not client results.
Until named industry case studies are published, the LinkedIn personal branding case studies hub holds everything we can show, and on the call we’ll tell you plainly whether we’ve worked in your sector or not. We won’t claim a vertical we haven’t written in.
Questions about industry work
No. These ten are where we have the clearest view of the buyer and, in several cases, the compliance picture. If your sector isn’t listed, the audit call covers the same ground: who decides, what you can’t say in public, and who has to approve. If we can’t see a credible content position for you, we’ll say that instead of selling you a retainer.
No. Pricing is the same three LinkedIn ghostwriting packages regardless of sector. Regulated industries take longer to get moving, because the approval route has to be agreed before the first post rather than after it.
They do. We write to an agreed set of boundaries, and anything outside them goes to your reviewer before it reaches your queue. We’d rather hold a post for a week than put you in a conversation with your regulator or your general counsel.
That’s a programme rather than a single account, and it’s covered on corporate personal branding. It’s common in manufacturing, hospitality and professional services, where authority sits across a leadership team.
