Who am I?
I am a content strategist and writer for B2B SaaS brands, with clients like Writer, Jasper, Litmus, Typeform, Shopify and a writer for the SaaS Nordic CEO and Executive Network. I combine design thinking with deep research to create content that doesn’t just inform—it influences.

What I can do for you
1. Content Management
Scaling content is two parts management and one part strategy. You need to keep all your opportunities organized, yes. But you also need to strategize for automation, repurposing, and efficient communication. 

I work with teams to:
✔ Build content calendars that align with business goals
✔ Establish internal processes for research, writing, and approvals
✔ Maintain consistency across formats and distribution channels

2. Research Reports & Thought Leadership Assets
B2B audiences value depth. I have a team of analysts and designers in-house to build assets that cater to both logic and aesthetic. 

✔ Interview your team to distill insights into premium reports, whitepapers, and long-form blogs
✔ Develop original research reports with proprietary data and trend analysis
✔ Structure content in a way that drives direct revenue

3. Repurposing & Distribution Strategies
Your best ideas shouldn’t be limited to one format. I help brands maximize reach by transforming existing content into new, high-performing assets.

Long form SEO writer

This is going to be a VERY hot take. Some might even say a pretentious take. But I actually really enjoy LinkedIn.

When I first started posting 4 years ago about everything under the sun—no niche, no strategy, and no audience—LinkedIn was the only platform where I always found my people. Someone to share ideas with and some others to challenge them. 

I don't know if you can tell but I'm quite nerdy. I actually think that the products I write for are super cool and make people's jobs easier and lives better. 

Do they contribute in the same way as cancer research or disaster response? No.

But do they help people do their jobs better and have higher job satisfaction as a result? 
100%.

Every single time I conduct a case study interview or interview an enthusiastic subject expert, I'm reminded of this detail. Every time I read Reddit threads or G2 reviews about my clients' products, I'm happy to be creating, strategizing, marketing for a tool that genuinely helps people. 

And a LOT of how I learned how to do it, and do it well, is because people on this platform were nerdy enough to share the nitty gritty of every article, every interview, and every brief like it mattered. 

I try my very best to give back through detailed processes, housekeeping systems, and industry insights of my own. Which LinkedIn absolutely hates now and pushes to the bottom of people's feeds. But I persist. 

I have no shame in admitting that I'm thoroughly nerdy, process-oriented, and an avid consumer of the content my favorite creators build for this platform. Would I be considered a thousand times cooler if I just said "ugh, I have to do it for work. I don't actually enjoy it." Hell yes.

But you'll just have to put up with me being uncool. 

Do *you* actually enjoy LinkedIn?

Content strategist, writer, and Research Report Creator for B2B SaaS in Fintech, Marketing, AI and Sales | Clients: Hotjar, Klaviyo, Shopify, Copy.ai, Writer, Jasper

In 2022, I was hitting a wall with blogs-only writing. I realized I had started to enjoy it lesser with each assignment, despite the promise of stability. 

It had gotten a bit mechanical and "templated" and I was afraid that a good-enough template that could create 2x faster might *eventually* replace me. 

Then came ChatGPT. Plonk in the middle of my dilemma. 

What I'd feared would happen 2 years down the line, started happening with one launch. But such is the nature of working in a tech-related industry. The tech Gods giveth and then they invent a tech God that taketh away. 

Luckily, I'd been investing in a different skill. Interview-based writing. Taking journalistic courses, researching techniques from the world's best interviewers. 

At that time, "thought-leadership" writing was a new-ish term. And I was a newish thought-leadership writer. 

The portfolio pieces and skills I'm proud of now were in their infant phase when I first started out. I stumbled oh-so-many times. I'd schedule half-hour long interviews only to run out of questions by the 7th minute. I found it hard to dig deep. I had to overcome several mindset blocks:

- "It's going to make people uncomfortable if I ask them to elaborate"
- "I have to give them several examples to make sure I'm not misunderstood"
- "No, no I don't have to give them any examples so as not to bias their responses"
- "My face looks ridiculous when I speak!"

I had another half-a-dozen of these frantic thought both before and during an interview. 

Now, 3 years later, I've come a LONG way from the nervous, terrified of judgement, interviewer I used to be. 

And the biggest lesson I learnt? The only way out is through.

I only got better by practicing, interviewing, and asking the uncomfortable questions. And it's only since about the start of 2025 that I began to feel that the experts I talk to are equally interested in talking to me. They participate, share personal anecdotes, and sometimes *laugh*. 

And because I practiced past the awkwardness and past the "I'm not sure I understand"s, did I even have the opportunity to interview mind-blowingly brilliant people. 

I guess what I'm getting to is that even thought this is a pivot I willingly chose, it was not easy. And if you're going through a similar upskilling pivot, give yourself grace but also give yourself exposure. 

📩  And if you're looking for an interview-based writer, send me a note! I've worked extensively with brands like Shopify, WRITER, and Jasper to build out their expert-led series.

I do not hate AI-assisted content at all. I think AI has given a lot of people the means to communicate in a way that helps their interpersonal relationships and their career. 

And I’m happy to be living in a day and age where people can have better opportunities and relationships through tools.

What I do hate is how it’s become super hard to find distinctive voices and original stories ON PLATFORMS MEANT FOR STORIES. 

I used to turn to Instagram for fashion inspo, travel planning tips, and even credit card hacks. But now everytime I open up any social media platform, I see a sea of sameness. 

Travel tips are now “Travel is not just a fun experience, it’s life altering new reality.” 

GRWM is no longer “white shirts save most outfits! And here are mine!.” It’s become “White shirts are no longer wardrobe basics, they’re appearance elevaters.”

Moisturisers have pivoted from a list of daily essentials and entered a league of “life savers.” (Sorry, doctors.) 

I think you get the theme. 

I hate hate the demise of original stories in human, flawed, grammatically ambiguous formats. 

I hate how creators have become lazy enough to stop even editing their own scripts to sound like themselves.

I hate that I recognize this AI-drivel and compare it to a time with *human* story-telling. Even poorly narrated human stories. 

I know hate is strong word and that’s why I’ve chosen it for my post today.

Are you feeling this too?

I have to admit that I got on this bandwagon of sharing my personal life on LinkedIn *rather* reluctantly. 

"You mean share details here that are UNPROFESSIONAL?" 😱 I asked, not wanted to be jolted from my comfortable and reliable "processes and testimonials" bubble.

But now the more I share, the more joy, community, and relationships I build. It's given me the ability to see myself beyond what I do for work. It has helped me connect to a lot of folks who share my interests, passions, and ... obsessions (ehm, hobbies).

And because I chose to share a sneak peak of my life outside of my assignments, I found opportunities that were squarely within my zone of genius. Strategy, writing AND operations. Opportunities that might not have otherwise made it to my inbox because I was only talking to people who did exactly what I do/did.

And a combination of these things has made LinkedIn a much more fun, social, and happier place for me to hang out at. 

What's something/someone that has made LinkedIn more fun for you? 😍

💰 Planning to create a research report this year? Here's the budget you need to be putting aside (+ some workarounds) 👇 

👉 1. Strategy and survey design: Why are you doing this survey? What do you expect to gain out of it? It could be any of these things:

- Brand awareness
- Leads
- Bragging rights 

Then, you'll build the format and the question-flow for asking the right people the right questions to drive leads, insights, or shareable stats.

💰 3-6K, depending on whether you're just outsourcing this part or the whole report (Can go lower is you’ve already outlined the survey content and just need light structuring.)

👉 2. Collecting responses: Sending the survey to the right ICP. B2B Marketers if you're writing for B2B Marketers, Leaders, recruiters and hiring managers if you're targeting job seekers. 

💰 USD 5-20K: 
✂️ Workaround: Use your owned audiences like newsletter subscribers or co-partner on collection and distribution. 

👉 4. Data analysis & insight distillation: Turning raw survey responses into a story that answers your audience's questions. 

This is where most reports fall flat—dumping stats in charts and hoping the reader will connect the dots. Don’t do that.

You want someone who knows what to cross reference, can spot patterns, and shape a narrative that ties to your goal. 

💰 3K–6K
✂️ Workaround: If your team has internal analysts, pair them with a strategist who can help frame insights for marketing and sales. Don’t silo it.

👉 5. Report copywriting: Writing the thing people will actually read and shaping it to look like something they want to share.

This step includes:
- Writing an intro that earns trust
- Explaining what the data actually means
- Pulling out callouts, quote blocks, and stat cards
- *Thinking* in a layout that’s scan-friendly and branded

💰 3K–6K, depending on the length and how many stakeholders need to sign off.

👉 6. Report design: Making the data not just look good, but communicates your vision to people who wont be reading every line. 

Work with a designer who gets your audience, your narrative, and your goals.

Someone who knows:
- How to use visual hierarchy to guide the eye
- When to let a stat breathe—and when to tuck supporting copy beside it
- How to highlight insights in a way that makes a busy exec stop scrolling
- How to balance white space, typography, and brand consistency across formats (PDF, web, carousel)

💰 3K–10K, depending on complexity, asset count, and whether you’re also producing modular social formats.
✂️ Workaround: If you’re lucky, you’ll find a marketer who’s also a designer—someone who can think in insights and layouts. (AKA me. And I have a design team).

Circle surveyed 750+ community builders, analyzed 18,000 communities, and interviewed 12 experts. 

Main takeaway: Digital overwhelm + AI-generated noise → people crave what feels real.

Here's what I took from there:

1️⃣ 67% of members join or stay because of shared identity and values.
Belonging has become a key reason communities stick, not just a nice-to-have.

2️⃣ 69% of respondents say member transformation is their #1 growth strategy.
It’s no longer about posting more, it’s about enabling real wins.

3️⃣ 48% of communities engage members pre-purchase
Community is no longer confined to “post-purchase support”, it starts earlier.

4️⃣ 39% of community builders plan to de-prioritise member growth in 2026.
Quality over quantity is becoming the focus.

5️⃣ 68% of respondents plan to expand their use of AI in 2026
Behind-the-scenes AI is becoming accepted, but not as a tool to replace humans.

The bottom line:
2026 is about real connections and IRL marketing.

Built Elementor’s content engine to multi‑eight‑figure ARR (17 M+ users) |  I help founders build founder-led marketing: content rooted in their expertise and tied to business outcomes

My founder journey takes me to new adventures. 

I officially started my founder led marketing business a month ago. 

— why am I picking wine? —

Because I’m hosting a dinner party tonight. 

One of my decisions was to transition from marketing expert to CEO not by staring into screens more hours but by going out and communicating with friends, connections and potential clients. 

This is the first dinner party where I invited different people from different worlds to my home. 

Being a successful CEO means challenging your communication and social skills and that’s what I’m trying to do today.

1️⃣ Key thing I learned about LinkedIn founder branding:
It's completely different from regular content-creator branding.

We all fall into the trap. You see a post with 400 likes and immediately think:
 "I should do THIS!"

But if you start publishing based on what gets likes, you’ll almost always dilute your positioning and weaken your reputation as a founder.

Your audience will quietly think:
 "This is what she spends her time on??"
Not a good look.

Instead, founders need a plan with intentional milestones:

1. CONTEXT BUILDING
Make sure anyone who visits your profile instantly understands:
 • What’s your product?
 • Who is it for?
 • What problem does it solve?
 • What’s your expertise?
 • Why should they trust you?
This is the foundation. Without context, nothing else matters.

2. CONSISTENCY
Make sure you show up week after week. This is important for your audience trust, but also for your own momentum.

Not every post needs to be a masterpiece, but every post should reinforce your expertise, POV, and connection to the problem space.

3. EXPANSION
Grow your reach strategically:
 • Collaborations
 • Podcasts
 • Guest appearances
 • Panel discussions
 • Commenting thoughtfully on your category
 • Cross-posting content from your founder journey

If you think of these milestones instead of the popularity contest that is Linkedin, you are much more likely to not give up (and also have fun while doing this).

P.S. The visual example is just one example. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with Will's post, or that there is no way a CEO can post this. I am only referring to the habit of copying content based on popularity.
