I grow brands on Insta, TikTok + Pinterest 📈 reaching over 67 MILLION impressions every MONTH for my clients 🔥 Track Record of Scaling Brands on Social | Not just your average marketer 💅

I don’t do trends. I do traction.

You won’t find me pushing hacks, follower goals, or 30-day content calendars.

I work with brands who care more about consistency than chaos - and want their marketing to mean something.

🔹 Fractional CMO (by application only)
For brands ready to grow sustainably, with systems that don’t fall apart in 3 months.
I guide the strategy. Your team executes. Together we scale - cleanly and profitably.

🔹 In-House Marketing Consulting/Management
I coach + run internal teams to run like agencies - without burning out or drowning in busywork.
Structure. Clarity. Direction. All data-driven to your store's backend to optimise for revenue growth.

📌 I’ve helped brands hit 7 figures without paid ads
📌 Generated 1B+ organic impressions across client accounts.
📌 I build systems that do the heavy lifting - so your team doesn’t have to.

Right now, I’m quietly building something new. Stay tuned 👀

I burnt out chasing 7 figs at 23

(whilst everyone clapped lmao)

LinkedIn made me feel like a FAILURE for taking Sundays off.

'I posting 5 times a week!'
'He just launched his 4th startup!'
'They're already at £2M ARR!'

the constant chase for 'success' was REAL

working literal 80 hr weeks thinking happiness was waiting at the next rev goal 💀

spoiler alert: it wasn't

NOW

I don't speak about my Biochemistry degree much on here

(but yes, I'm a qualified Biochemist 🧬)

I got digging, and strap in because I'm gonna speak in nerd for a bit:

DMN = Default Mode Network (in your brain)
DMN = NEEDED for our creativity, long-term planning, self-reflection, idea generation
= essentially, we RELY on our DMN as entrepreneurs

and the punchline...

THE DMN IS ONLY ACTIVE WHEN YOU'RE NOT BUSY

= SCIENTIFICALLY, YOU ARE A BETTER ENTREPRENEUR IF YOU REST MORE

(sorry for shouting, but I'm screaming it at my laptop rn hehe)

Most people reading this are GASPING for a breakthrough in their business right now

but that's because you're chasing other people's success

no wonder we're all perfectionist mindset prisoners:
- constant feed of what we 'should' be doing
- less and less people showing real life
- 532 new 'productivity apps' being launched every day

(or maybe you're in escapist mode: binge watching Selling Sunset, retail therapy, always brainstorming instead of doing)

a few months ago I switched to full rest mode

no socials on my phone
working 2-5 hours a day
practiced the art of being bored

my DMN = more active than ever before

and guys I've had more breakthroughs in the last few months than I had of 5 years in business

Post inspired by a video from Anne-Laure Le Cunff, PhD - will link it below x

I guarantee 1M+ impressions in 90 days 💰 Scaling health + wellness brands to 7 figs with strategy that sells on Instagram + Pinterest 🧬 BSc in Biochemistry with Hons

A naked person on the street offers you a shirt 

Would you take it? 

No

Why would you trust them, if they can’t provide a shirt for themselves?

Obvious, right? 

Now look at your LinkedIn feed

The entrepreneurs you’re comparing yourself to

The guru videos you’re watching on YouTube 

Now ask yourself the same question

Suddenly you’re following a ‘how to become a millionaire in 30 days’ video

Sorry where’s the proof you’re a millionaire?

Where’s the backend data? 

Where’s your context? 

Oh wait… it’s because they’re not a millionaire

You’re CHOOSING to put yourself into a never-ending rat race when you pay attention to this content

You compare, you get imposter syndrome, you feel ‘behind’ and ‘unsuccessful’ 

All because you trusted a random naked person offering you a T-shirt 

(Don’t be that person, and start thinking x)

No alternative text description for this image

£50k on productivity tools last year

(and I still couldn't find my own client contract)

Old client wants to renew. 

‘Just send over that contract we used before?’

My Google Drive? Giving digital crime scene.

I'm scaling brands to 7 figures but DMing clients:
‘Hey bestie, could you... send me the contract? 🙃’
THE MORTIFICATION.

She sent it back. We both pretended it didn't happen.

Rock bottom as a 'professional' 🤡

Enter Documents by Readdle.

Literal life hack I wish I knew sooner…

I can see all my Google Drive folders INSIDE the Documents app on my Mac

No switching tabs, no endless searching, it’s just there when I need it.

Omg and also? 

I can even keep private stuff locked with Face ID so it actually feels safe.

When I outsource? Share the Google Drive folders. No sensitive docs leaked. Done.

I manage:
- 1000s of PNG files
- Hours of video content  
- Excel calendars from hell

All in ONE app.

That embarrassing contract?

Now lives in: Documents > Legal > [Client Name]

Found in 3 seconds.
Signed at 30,000 feet.
Accessed from a Canggu cafe.

Last week: ‘Can you send that Pinterest audit from 8 months ago? We lost it’

Found it. Updated it. Sent it.

While waiting for my massage 💅

(she doesn't need to know)

Quick challenge:

Search 'contract' in your Google Drive.

How many 'final_FINAL_actualfinal_v2' versions?

Mine was 47.

FORTY. SEVEN!!!!

Now it's zero

Your file chaos isn't quirky.
It's costing you credibility.

Documents is literally FREE

but get a 7 day premium trial and discount here: https://lnkd.in/e-syPjVV 

Perfect timing to stop being the person who asks clients for their own paperwork.

(yes I'm still traumatised. yes she is still a client. no I never made that mistake again)

From refuge to 7 figures at 23

Sounds like a LinkedIn dream story, right?

Plot twist: I was miserable 💀

The culprit? WhatsApp.

(bear with me, this gets good)

2023: Banking my first million, but pinging 24/7 with clients in US, UK, Dubai

My personal WhatsApp = my work

WhatsApp = my mental breakdown waiting to happen

Every notification could be:
- mum asking about Sunday lunch
- our freelancers needing file access asap
- bestie sending memes
- Dubai client at 3am needing 'urgent' changes

The constant context switching was literally killing brain cells

Bought a work phone thinking I was smart

(spoiler: carrying 2 phones everywhere isn't the flex you think it is)

Then I found Zenzap  

ONE app with an OFF switch

Now I have:

- personal WhatsApp for actual humans I like
- work comms app that I can literally switch OFF (and hide my number if needed)
- my sanity back (priceless tbh)

The best part? 

Clients have had the same issues with their WhatsApp/Slack comms, and also prefer this new system

I just... stop existing after 6pm

Then, I thrive ✨

Because guess what happens when you're not available 24/7?

You become better at what you do x

Nike opened a SOUP stall for runners in China

Not another bore fest billboard. A SOUP STALL!

They're serving traditional Cantonese recovery soups to runners on Ersha Island

with Nike-branded spoons??

That's it. That's the campaign.

While everyone's throwing £millions at 'immersive experiences', Nike partnered with Olympic sprinter Su Bingtian to serve... soup.

location: where runners ACTUALLY run (spoiler alert: not Times Square)
product: what runners actually NEED (recovery, not another tracker app)
branding: Subtle AF (just a weird spoon, not a billboard)

meanwhile Nike's competitors are fighting for BFCM CPMs on Meta 😂

(be like Nike, not everyone else x)

This ONE pin makes me $700/month

no, not hookbait - here's how:

1. pin gets ~100k impressions/month
2. 5.4k clicks on said pin
3. translating to 1.35k outbound clicks every 30 days

this particular pin hyperlinks to my Stan store 

conversion on my stan store is ~2% from Pinterest

so now we do some math:

1.35k outbound clicks with a 2% conv rate = 27 purchases per month
average AOV of $25 means:

‼️ 27 purchases x 25 AOV = $700 PER MONTH FOR 1 PIN ‼️

I post at least 60 pins per month... I'll let you do that math for yourself 

yet all I hear is: PiNtErEsT wOnT wOrK fOr Me

won't it? or can you just not be bothered?

you keep your extortionate meta ads that give you a mediocre ROI

I'll stick to my Pinterest with a 100% ROI x

FOMO is one of the greatest marketing tactics...

but FOBO is where you're losing money

we've all heard of FOMO, right?

how you want your customers to FEEL like they're missing out if they don't have your product

more FOMO = more sales

but once you've nailed that it's time to start thinking about FOBO

✨ fear of better options ✨

(no I didn't make it up - it's a real thing x)

aka: analysis paralysis

it happens VERY often in pretty much every market in 2025

there's so many options for anything we could possibly want or need

it gets... overwhelming

whether it's a new coffee machine or a Tesco meal deal, we're literally flooded with options

what this looks like on the back end:

- cart abandonment
- high bounce rates

how you can fix it:

1. reduce choice overload (think how much nicer it is to order at a resturant with a 1 page menu, not a 20 page book)

2. add subtle confidence boosters to their choice (things like 'best seller', 'most value' etc)

3. remove regret (guarantees, money back offers, good refund policies - this reduces the pressure on them to make a 'final' product decision)

FOBO is a WHOLE other ball park in marketing

but something most people miss, and don't speak about

and you already know imma come bring the best info to your feed

because I want us all to win ⭐️

Babe are you okay? 

ur losing thousands of £ every month x

4 things working on Pinterest right now:

(you’ll get 1m impressions in 90 days)

1. long chain keywords - get super specific about what keywords you’re adding to your pins

2. recommended searches - Pinterest is pushing this for users

3. listipins (think clean, readable checklist and list content for your niche) 

4. Insta feed linking - link ur insta feed besties!! This content is getting SO much traction

Pinterest is making my clients 5-figures per month, within 6 months of management

(it’s not hard, you can do it for yourself easily) 

wake up besties x

POV: You're still asking clients to print contracts in 2025

bestie what is this, the stone age?

My client yesterday:
‘Can you send it as a PDF? I need to print, sign, scan, and send back’

Me: 👁️👄👁️

You're telling me...
- You have an eCom store making 200k/month
- You have 3 monitors on your desk
- You have GEMMA COLLINS as an influencer

But you're making people find a PRINTER?

The math isn't mathing.

Documents by Readdle said let me fix your life:

✍️ Sign with your finger
📱 Send from your phone
⚡ Done in 30 seconds
🏝️ From literally anywhere

Last week's wins:
- £5k contract signed at a cafe
- New corporate client onboarded
- Fractional CMO proposal edited and sent

While you're saying ‘I'll send it when I'm at my desk’...

I'm closing deals from the back of my motorbike 💅

Your clients don't have printers.
They have phones.
Act accordingly.

Documents is FREE and has a 7-day premium trial

(and yes, it can do so much more than just edit PDFs!)

stop making business hard.

(ps - if you're still converting PDFs on sketchy websites, we need to talk)

pov: you become the first millionaire in your family

i never thought I'd get to write this post.

not long ago i was yet another unemployed student. 

struggled with anxiety and depression.
couldn't land an interview at "my dream" company. 

i'd given up on myself, my dreams and future. 

but my dad never did. not once. 

where i saw struggle, he saw opportunity.

see, my dad grew up poor. picking cotton from the fields in mexico. he worked day and night to get out of it. 

just to be able to give me a life worth living. 

and every day i make sure i do. 

because if i can't do it for me, i'm doing it for him. 

can't complain about my plate being full when the goal was to eat. 

grateful to everyone who's given me a platform to grow.
and proud of whoever is on the same journey.

keep going, i believe in you. 

Repost ♻️ to inspire all other entrepreneurs who are doing it for their parents ❤️

PS: Do we look similar???

I just made my most important Gen-Z hire of my career. 

Without even looking at a CV or an interview.

This hire had something special:

A track record proven by her reputation on LinkedIn. 

I hired her over 100s of other applicants.
Because her LinkedIn proved she could do the job. 

Gen-Z isn’t interested in writing the best CVs.
Gen-Z are building their personal brands instead.

And now many don't need a resume to get a job. 

In days Laiba Javed has:

1. Created systems for the entire business
2. Coordinated with every agency and client I work with.
3. Puts off every fire I start and turns it into gold.

The businesses are on track to hit my 2026 goals.

To be honest, I didn’t have to ask Laiba to prove her “experience” 

She did that a few months ago.
Noticed I needed a right hand woman.

She observed, she studied and came with action.

I hate ideas, I hate "suggestions," and she knew that.

So she let her work speak for itself.
And her reputation to close the deal. 

Anyone can learn anything; that's easy.
But having curiosity and bias for action can't be taught. 

Hiring managers...

Your best hire won't be the person with the shiniest resume.
It'll be the person who's willing to learn.

Give people a chance ❤️

PS: Laiba has been on my watch list for a looong time, so it's MY honour to have her be part of this journey.

Big confession: I'm a big fan of "small accounts".

So today, I'm celebrating my favorite LinkedIn accounts. 

Not the "biggest" ones. Not the most "viral".
But the ones who I think deserve it the most. 

Because community is the backbone of this platform. 

Connecting with people.
Commenting and networking.
Collaborating and supporting.

This is the LinkedIn that built this brand.

Took me 1000s of hours, and now I get to giveback.

So in honour of seeing those following my steps.

And spending hours doing the same....

Here are 10 entrepreneurs in my watchlist. 

Ali Amiri, MD = health advice that can change your life 
Aditi Pilania = mum and on a career growth journey
George Draco = how professionals can use AI today
Mischa Collins = fastest growing personal brand
Guy Massey = proof that any topic works, if you work!
Alan Greenin = making mortaging simple for everyone
Jess Coffman = one of the smartest marketers I've seen
Sophia Spadão = how to build an agency in your 20s
Joseph Tannous = how to get featured in PR and grow
Hayden Swerling = the best HR account right now

I need to keep doing these! So the goal is to do it more.

Look, I know LinkedIn may feel hard.
I know it seems cringe to post sometimes.

Sometimes you may feel like no one is watching.
But we are, I am. 

Keep going, your work will be noticed.

You're only one post away from changing your life.

As always my kings and queens. I'm rooting for you. 

P.S. Who are the creators that deserve more recognition? I'll be following ALL of them. 

Happy Sunday!

pov: you’re building a business in london 

(surrounded by 8-figure founders because of LinkedIn) 

building a personal brand changed my life, forever.

sure it built my business… 
but it gave me what I needed the most.

high-value friends who won’t let me quit.

timo & chris are 2 of them. 

they gave me a chance when 99% wouldn’t
they clapped so loud i never noticed who didn’t 

they’ve given me their platforms to shine and grow.

all because i didn't let my fear stop me. 
and when it did, my friends stopped it for me.

specially, Timothy.

My 4-step writing framework is unbeatable.

(If you're stuck at low likes and impressions, read this)

Everyone is talking about the algorithm changing.
But small creators are going viral using this hack.

I called it the SLAY Framework:

1. The first 3 lines of your post should be a story.
2. Then on line 4 lead with a lesson for your audience.
3. Add to the post using actionable advice (listicles).
4. Finish with a question that puts the ball in their court.

Storytelling is the ultimate weapon for LinkedIn growth.

Because in a platform oversaturated with information...
Don't focus on facts, focus on emotions.

They'll remember you forever. 
.
Bonus: Think about the lesson 1st, and the story 2nd.

Your main goal is to educate using stories as the vehicle.

♻️ Repost this to make storytelling easy for everyone.

PS: I've seen the SLAY framework used 2x today on viral posts with 1k+ likes! My job here is done 🤝

You don't need algorithm hacks to grow on LinkedIn.

I spent the last 90 days testing every growth hack I could find. Here's what actually works:

(Based on analyzing content in different niches)

1. Hyper-specific content (3x a week)

• Solve one exact problem per post
• Use industry language your clients use
• Speak directly to one person

Adam Robinson has mastered this for B2B. 
Nausheen I. Chen is killing it for B2C. 

Address their problems directly. 

i.e "Stop losing credibility with your body language."

2. Proof-First Content

80% tactical step-by-step frameworks and screenshots.
20% stories on how you're doing it (use stories)

The 80% builds trust, the 20% engages them more. 

Educate and storytell. Always both. 

3. LinkedIn Video (let me explain...)

Video reach might be down right now.
But it's the fastest way to prove authority. 

LinkedIn video is ok.
Linkedin Lives? They're a goldmine.

We had a LinkedIn live with 200 people.
Made $10,000 from it. 

People buy from people they trust. Video accelerates this! 

I'd limit these to 2 a month, though, no pressure. 

I left a checklist for you in the image below for you to script your first Linkedin video too btw.

This is the no-bs blueprint for entrepreneurs. 

It's not about more volume, it's about more insights.

Dominating LinkedIn isn't just about virality right now.
It's about building a brand that earns trust.

Keep your focus on your 1 thing. 

The rest will follow.

I've just recorded a private video on how to dominate "storytelling" on LinkedIn like an expert. 

If you want it ♻️ repost this post and I'll send it to you (20 people max). 

PS: Which step do you struggle with the most? 

--
PS: Got a surprise for you today, get 50% off my programmes until the end of November here: https://lnkd.in/e4RKsGx9

I got rejected from (nearly) every single job I applied to.

5yrs of Industry experience. 2 degrees. But 0 offers.

The consistent rejections made me feel unemployable.

So, I started writing on LinkedIn daily.

If you're not seeing any luck either:

Swap writing Resumes for writing posts on Linkedin
Quit waiting for opportunities and build your own.
Build an undeniable network that lifts you up.

1 month of writing on Linkedin → 10x more visibility.

Lesson? Become unemployable to others.

Build your own job instead. 

PS: I'm running a GIVEAWAY to celebrate nearly hitting 50k on YouTube! I'm giving away over $1,000 worth in prizes to the next 100 people who subscribe https://lnkd.in/eyMb42iX

To enter:

1. Subscribe to my YouTube Channel
2. Screenshot that you have and comment the photo

Winners will be announced on the 17th of November!

I built my first business to 6-figures after class. 

The reason? I didn't wait until "I felt ready" and you shouldn't either, because you already are. 

You don't need a logo, your first customers won't care.
You don't need a website, your ideal client wants proof.

You don't even need a shiny degree, you just need skill.

We're taught to wait until everything is perfect.
But perfect never comes, procrastination does, though. 

If you want to launch your new business.
Or promote a new offer you've been perfecting. 

Do this instead: 

1. List the 5 key problems you are solving for someone. 
2. Ask ChatGPT to expand on why this needs solving.
3. Create content on LinkedIn using the pain + solution
4. Use social proof wherever you can (can borrow it too)
5. Post case studies of people who you've helped
6. If you haven't yet, write about how this helped you
7. Take 10 people on this offer for free to get real results
8. Create content around these repeating steps 1-5

One fool-proof way to get clients (free or paid):

1. Search for people who look like you can help on Linky.
2. Send them a loom or gamma doc with your system
3. Tell them step-by-step how you can help immediatley 

Do this 20x a week, I guarantee you'll land a client.

Bonus tip: Implement your offer for them for free, so they can see the value of your work instantly. 

Trust me, after 4 weeks coaching next to 8-figure agency owners, this STILL works. 

This is what I did too, and would do again. 

No website, no crazy credentials, not even a logo.

Literally just a calendly link, a canva pitch and content that made people reach out.

Closed clients with the loom approach.

This isn't about virality, it's about making money. 
Your ideal client might not like the post and make it viral.

But they'll 100% reach out if you follow this strategy. 

I'll be expanding on some of the points in the comments.
Which step do you get stuck on the most? I'll help!

(Please repost this for your network ♻️ Thank you)

I've coached over 3,000+ entrepreneurs and creators.

Today, I want to review your posts for free.

But there are thousands of you here ( and only 1 me) 

So - I’ve got a special gift for you today: 

I built a GPT that behaves like me. 

It grades your posts on 3 specific checkpoints.

1. Clarity
2. Proof
3. Capture

And tells you what to fix in 60 seconds.

If you're ready to get brutally roasted.
And get the feedback on your hooks and content...

I built an FREE AI tool that does this for you. 
I call it the AI Post Analyzer.

(Deleting in 42hrs)

PS: The algorithm rewards what readers finish.

Write for readers first. Optimize for views after.

Profile optimization is overrated. Honestly. 

Focus on your content first. Comment 50x a day instead..

This is something you'll hear me say a lot. 

Because most people waste endless hours here.
Optimizing everything but have no traffic.

But....

If your content is getting traction.
You're commenting and networking daily.

But you're not seeing an increase in conversions.

Then your profile might be the problem. 

Most people will see your post.
They'll go to your profile looking for proof.
And if they're convinced, they'll book a call with you. 

So your next task after nailing content?

Optimizing your profile.

1. Your profile photo = shows warmth 
2. Your banner = shows instant proof 
3. Your featured section = tells them where to go

I made you a guide so you can implement it today.

Follow it step by step and position yourself as an expert.
