I started an ad agency in 2020 during the pandemic.
Quietly grew it to 7 figures using nothing but organic LinkedIn posting and word of mouth.
Then, in 2023, I burned out.
So, I closed my agency.
But before I did that, I had a stark realization.
Besides the influx of business, my following on LinkedIn had grown to over 30k.
I also realized that most of the people and brands that hired me did so because they liked my Linkedin posts.
They liked the way I thought.
I did this without taking classes from the gurus, paying attention to my metrics, or writing for the algorithm.
I figured, if I could do it for me, I could probably do it for other people as well.
So, I started offering ghostwriting services to high-level ad executives and solopreneurs in early 2023.
And the results were pretty phenomenal.
In just 6 months, I grew from zero clients to over 15
And on November 1st, 2023, I closed my ad agency for good.
Since that day, I’ve taken my unconventional approach to branding and advertising and started using it to ghostwrite and manage the personal brands of several high-profile executives, founders, business owners, and solopreneurs (but I can’t tell you who).
To scale the business, I partnered with LinkedIn B2B ad whisperer Aaron Zakowski to form Genius Scouts.
(I still work on regular advertising, copywriting, and marketing consulting projects but have limited myself to working on only the ones that excite me)
