I stopped dreading Mondays on LinkedIn. Thirty minutes on a call, and the week's posts sound more like me than the ones I used to write myself.

SaaS founder

Founder & CEO, B2B SaaS

The positioning work was the part I didn't know I needed. We cut half the topics I wanted to post about, and the inbound got better, not worse.

Foundation

What every package includes, whichever you choose

The foundation work is identical across all three, because none of the rest works without it. Before a single post goes out, we audit and rewrite your profile, agree the category you’re claiming, write and pin your pillar post, and run the onboarding call that produces your content buckets and your voice guide.

That foundation is described in full on two pages: LinkedIn personal branding covers the positioning, and executive LinkedIn profile optimization covers the profile itself. The writing in every tier is our LinkedIn ghostwriting service. The comments and replies are LinkedIn engagement management. The lead magnets, warm-lead tracking and prospect lists are content-led LinkedIn lead generation.

Add-ons

Programs and add-ons priced separately

Four things sit outside the three packages, because the scope changes too much from one client to the next to publish a number honestly.

  • Corporate personal branding for several executives on one narrative, with approval workflow.Priced per executive, with a programme fee. Quoted after the audit call.
  • LinkedIn company page management, which runs alongside your people rather than competing with them.Monthly fee, quoted after the audit call, or added to any tier.
  • LinkedIn advertising, led by Thought Leader Ads on the posts that already worked.Management fee from 15% of ad spend, with a recommended minimum spend of USD 3,000 a month. Ad spend is billed to your own LinkedIn ad account.
  • Thought leadership book ghostwriting, usually project-priced.Fixed-fee project in phases (strategy, outline, drafting). Quoted after scoping.

LinkedIn newsletter ghostwriting is included from The Authority upward, and available as an add-on on The Presence.

Thirty minutes, and a straight answer

We'll read your profile before the call and tell you which package we'd put you on, including “none of them yet” if that's the honest answer.

  1. We read your profile first.

    Your headline, your About section and your last twenty posts, before we speak. You don't need to prepare anything.

  2. You do most of the talking.

    What you sell, who you need in the room, what you've already tried and why it stopped.

  3. You leave with a plan, or a straight no.

    If we're not the right fit, we'll tell you on the call and point you somewhere better. We'd rather lose the retainer than take an account we can't make work.

You will be speaking to Zubair or Noman.
