04: professional leadership community building

A public relations firm wanted to establish its CEO as a thought leader on LinkedIn to drive client trust and industry credibility. The existing presence was small, with minimal engagement, low visibility, and no clear framework for building a strong professional network.

I was brought in to design a LinkedIn growth strategy that would:

  • position the CEO as a trusted voice in the PR industry

  • expand the professional network strategically

  • build a vibrant, engaged community of PR professionals and decision-makers.

the strategy

  • Conduct network and audience behaviour analysis to understand key decision-makers and their engagement patterns

  • Design a thought-leadership content framework blending industry insights, case studies, and interactive discussions

  • Implement a connection-building system that prioritised meaningful relationships over vanity metrics

  • Develop a posting cadence and community interaction plan that fostered ongoing conversation and knowledge-sharing.

the impact

  • Impressions increased by 78,923% over the previous year, reaching 57,687 total impressions

  • Unique profile visitors increased by 3,196,800% in just 7 days, demonstrating a surge in credibility and interest

  • Established the CEO as a trusted authority in PR, strengthening both brand visibility and inbound client opportunities

  • Created a sustainable network growth system that continues to generate engagement and professional connections.
