Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between content marketing and thought leadership?
Content marketing promotes a company. Thought leadership promotes an individual expert perspective. We focus on building your reputation as a distinctive voice in your field, not just generating website traffic.
How often do I need to publish content?
Quality matters more than quantity. We typically recommend 2-4 LinkedIn posts per week and 1-2 longer articles per month. We handle creation so you focus on ideas, not writing.
Can you ghostwrite in my voice?
Yes. We conduct interviews, study your existing content, and develop a detailed voice guide. Most readers cannot tell the difference between our ghostwritten pieces and your own writing.
How long does it take to become a recognized thought leader?
Building true thought leadership typically takes 12-24 months of consistent effort. However, you will see meaningful traction in media mentions and inbound inquiries within 4-6 months.
Which publications can you help me get published in?
We target publications relevant to your industry including Forbes, Harvard Business Review, Inc., Fast Company, and specialized trade publications. Target publications depend on your niche.
How do you measure thought leadership ROI?
We track media mentions, social engagement, inbound business inquiries, speaking invitations, and brand search volume. These metrics connect directly to business development outcomes.
