🥇 Upwork’s Top 1% since 2015 | 𝟭𝟬𝟬% 𝙎𝙪𝙘𝙘𝙚𝙨𝙨
📈 Drives 𝙍𝙀𝙎𝙐𝙇𝙏𝙎 for Founders, B2Bs, B2Gs
✅ 𝙎𝙩𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙜𝙮 to 𝙀𝙭𝙚𝙘𝙪𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 | Design + Copy
🎯 Ex-Military | 𝙎𝙮𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙢𝙨 𝙏𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙠𝙚𝙧 | Operator Mindset
A lot of the B2G. B2B founders and C-suites I talk to and work with describe the same experience:
📌 𝙏𝙝𝙚𝙮 𝙥𝙤𝙨𝙩, 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙮 𝙥𝙤𝙨𝙩 𝙖𝙜𝙖𝙞𝙣, 𝙗𝙪𝙩 𝙣𝙤𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙝𝙖𝙥𝙥𝙚𝙣𝙨. No reacts. No engagement. Barely any impressions.
Or...
📌 𝙏𝙝𝙚𝙮 𝙥𝙤𝙨𝙩, 𝙨𝙤𝙢𝙚 𝙥𝙚𝙤𝙥𝙡𝙚 𝙡𝙞𝙠𝙚 𝙞𝙩, 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙣 𝙣𝙤𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙝𝙖𝙥𝙥𝙚𝙣𝙨. No engagement. No DMs. No calls. No Pipeline.
𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙗𝙡𝙚𝙢 usually isn't the effort, 𝙞𝙩’𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙡𝙖𝙘𝙠 𝙤𝙛 𝙠𝙣𝙤𝙬𝙡𝙚𝙙𝙜𝙚 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙣𝙪𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙚 𝙞𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙨𝙩𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙜𝙮 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙚𝙭𝙚𝙘𝙪𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣, 𝙖𝙡𝙤𝙣𝙜 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙖𝙗𝙨𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙖 𝙨𝙮𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙢.
❌ No content pillars. No healthy blend of content types. Posting just bottom funnel content that sell to the ICP or (worse) no ICP-matched positioning.
❌ Not knowing that Linkedin intentionally throttles company page accounts’ distribution. Not knowing that overly polished or branded content can look like an ad and hurt distribution. Not knowing post with links limit reach. Not knowing the algorithm.
❌ No efforts warming up or making the account healthy first. No C-suite or employee advocacy to help reach more eyes. No structure that compounds over time.
With the right 𝙎𝙏𝙍𝘼𝙏𝙀𝙂𝙔 and 𝙀𝙓𝙀𝘾𝙐𝙏𝙄𝙊𝙉 though, here’s how the experience looks like:
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "𝙄𝙣 𝙟𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝟲 𝙢𝙤𝙣𝙩𝙝𝙨, 𝘽𝙚𝙣’𝙨 𝙨𝙩𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙜𝙮 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙚𝙭𝙚𝙘𝙪𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙙𝙧𝙤𝙫𝙚 𝙖 𝟲𝟳𝟲% 𝙞𝙣𝙘𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙨𝙚 𝙞𝙣 𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙘𝙝, 𝟮𝟴𝟴% 𝙞𝙣 𝙫𝙞𝙨𝙞𝙩𝙨, 𝟭𝟵𝟬% 𝙞𝙣 𝙛𝙤𝙡𝙡𝙤𝙬𝙚𝙧𝙨, 𝟭,𝟴𝟬𝟬% 𝙞𝙣 𝙚𝙣𝙜𝙖𝙜𝙚𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩, 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙖𝙣 𝟴𝟬% 𝙗𝙤𝙤𝙨𝙩 𝙞𝙣 𝙨𝙖𝙡𝙚𝙨 𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙠 𝙘𝙡𝙞𝙘𝙠𝙨 — 𝙢𝙖𝙙𝙚 𝙥𝙤𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙗𝙡𝙚 𝙗𝙮 𝙞𝙣𝙘𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙨𝙚𝙙 𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝙫𝙤𝙡𝙪𝙢𝙚, 𝙩𝙖𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙘𝙖𝙡 𝙙𝙚𝙡𝙞𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙖 𝙬𝙚𝙡𝙡-𝙗𝙖𝙡𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙚𝙙 𝙤𝙧𝙜𝙖𝙣𝙞𝙘-𝙥𝙖𝙞𝙙 𝙖𝙥𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙖𝙘𝙝."
Also, here's what a B2B CMO said when I grew their 𝙇𝙞𝙣𝙠𝙚𝙙𝙞𝙣 𝙛𝙤𝙡𝙡𝙤𝙬𝙞𝙣𝙜 by 𝟴𝟲𝟯% 🚀 in 𝙟𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝟵𝟬 𝙙𝙖𝙮𝙨 and with 8 weeks of strategic content execution -- blowing the competition away (That's 10K+ more added on top of their 17K following they've accumulated for a decade):
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "𝘽𝙚𝙣 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙙𝙖𝙩𝙖-𝙙𝙧𝙞𝙫𝙚𝙣 𝙖𝙥𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙖𝙘𝙝 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙨𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙚𝙡𝙨𝙚 — 𝙝𝙚 𝙪𝙣𝙙𝙚𝙧-𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙢𝙞𝙨𝙚𝙙 𝙗𝙪𝙩 𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙧-𝙙𝙚𝙡𝙞𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙚𝙙! 𝙄𝙛 𝙮𝙤𝙪’𝙫𝙚 𝙜𝙤𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙢𝙚𝙖𝙣𝙨 𝙩𝙤 𝙜𝙚𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙧𝙚𝙙𝙞𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙨 — 𝙇𝙀𝙏 𝙃𝙄𝙈 𝘾𝙊𝙊𝙆!"
Yup, I’m that guy that that cooks and builds the Linkedin content system behind these kind of results.
My work is to take a company’s operations, people and culture or a founder’s thoughts and real experiences, and turn it into a content engine that builds 𝙨𝙩𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙜𝙞𝙘 𝙨𝙤𝙘𝙞𝙖𝙡 𝙢𝙚𝙙𝙞𝙖 𝙥𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚, 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙤𝙛, 𝙧𝙚𝙥𝙪𝙩𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣, 𝙩𝙧𝙪𝙨𝙩 and 𝙝𝙚𝙡𝙥𝙨 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙙𝙪𝙘𝙚 𝙥𝙞𝙥𝙚𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙚.
And here's what makes clients go:
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "𝙄 𝙬𝙞𝙨𝙝 𝙄 𝙘𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙 𝙜𝙞𝙫𝙚 𝟭𝟬𝟬 𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙧𝙨 𝙩𝙤 𝘽𝙚𝙣."

Most founders are sitting on a goldmine of stories, lessons, and hard-earned expertise.
The problem is, nobody sees it. And in this attention-based economy, that's not something you can afford to neglect.
What I do is turn all of that untapped potential into LinkedIn content that builds authority, gets the right people to tune in, and ultimately opens pipelines.
To give you an idea of my experience, here are some of my key milestones:
• Booked 11 calls in 1 month for a super affiliate founder
• Wrote content (and comments) that have gone viral numerous times
• Amplified impressions for a fintech founder by 846% in 90 days (and 5,701% in 6 months)
• Helped raise $26M of investment capital by writing the pitch deck copy for high-ticket clients
• Connected a client with a platform of 60+ pre-vetted leads, opening a pipeline valued up to $36M

"Genki is one of the most dependable contract hires I've ever made. He is creative yet meticulous, organized and communicative. He has written posts for clients of mine that have gone viral getting over 100k views. He has written comments for clients that garnered over 20k impressions.

I'm Felicia, a social media manager and content strategist with 5+ years of experience running multiple client accounts at once, each with its own brand voice, audience, and goals. A big part of my work centers on LinkedIn specifically: optimizing personal brand profiles and building content strategies for founders and professionals who want to grow real authority through thought leadership and storytelling.
What I handle:
- Personal brand and LinkedIn profile optimization (headline, about section, positioning)
- Content strategy and calendars built around your actual audience and goals
- Storytelling-driven thought leadership content for founders and organizations
- Multi-platform content creation across Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and LinkedIn
- Copywriting and captions that sound like a real person, not a template or a bot
- Short-form video editing (CapCut, Adobe) and branded graphics (Canva, Illustrator, Photoshop)
- Email marketing and newsletter management
- Monthly reporting focused on what actually matters: engagement quality, reach, and real growth, not just follower count
If your brand needs a strategist who builds real authority through story and strategy instead of recycling generic content, let's talk about building that together !
