Client Snapshot

They needed to elevate their professional profile, gain recognition as an industry influencer, and unlock exclusive opportunities in education technology without overt self-promotion.

Goal

  • Build authority among EdTech executives and investors
  • Secure board positions and podcast appearances
  • Attract high-level networking and collaboration invites

At the start:

Strong expertise in product innovation but low online presence; generic profile; no exposure to key influencers or media outlets.

Audit & Audience Mapping

Repositioning & Profile Optimization

  • Rewrote profile to highlight as an innovative EdTech leader
  • Incorporated social proof (e.g., "Scaled user base 5x for top EdTech platforms")
  • Optimized with keywords for better search visibility
3

Content Engine & Thought Leadership

  • Rolled out bi-weekly content on EdTech trends, product strategies, and success stories

Targeted Engagement & Relationship Building

  • Focused on genuine discussions around shared industry issues
  • Nurtured leads through DMs for organic opportunities

The Transformation

Before:

  • Minimal follower growth or targeted connections
  • No media or board outreach
  • Perceived as operational expert, not influencer
  • Limited to internal networks

After (in 125 Days):

  • 2 board invitations from prominent EdTech firms
  • 3 podcast features on leading industry shows
  • Increased visibility leading to broader recognition

Why It Worked:

Value-first, authentic strategy positioned them as a must-know figure, turning online presence into tangible opportunities.
