We are thought-leadership specialists, working with corporates, high-growth brands, and their management teams. Our support spans positioning, content creation, media engagement, multimedia production, and social media.
A successful thought-leadership campaign can help a company position themselves as an expert on a particular topic, helping them build brand visibility and trust among customers, team members, and other stakeholders.
Our research shows that companies that are recognised as thought-leaders within their industry recruit better talent, secure more business, raise more investment, and, ultimately, grow faster.
We have built our thought leadership agency from the ground up to provide everything for thought-leadership in a single place.
Our specialist teams – spanning strategy, PR and multimedia – slot in as and when you need them, providing a seamless client experience backed by an award-winning understanding of corporate thought leadership.
Corporate thought leadership strategy. We will work with the leaders within your business to set your corporate thought leadership strategy, including identifying topics for insight-driven content, developing your tone of voice, selecting key spokespeople for the media, and defining your objectives and core audience.
Thought leadership content creation for businesses. We will turn this thought leadership strategy into engaging content that captures the attention of your key audiences. This includes end-to-end content drafting as well as getting it in front of your stakeholders through the best channels, whether that's PR or social media.
PR & media coverage generation. We will secure high-profile coverage for your company and its insights in top-tier media titles and relevant trade titles. Our PR and media strategies span digital media, national press, trade titles, as well as broadcast, including radio, TV, and podcasts.
Thought leadership videos for corporates. We will turn your insights into compelling video content for use online and social media, whether that's video interviews with your key executives or narrative-driven videos that profile your brand. Our in-house expertise spans pre-production, production, editing, and driving viewership.
Social media activity and LinkedIn. We manage social media accounts, with a principal focus on LinkedIn, for executives and company brands end-to-end, driving audience engagement through insight-driven posts and undertaking further engagement activity, including coordinating paid campaigns.

I've used Profile at two different companies now, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. They are great at identifying insights and turning them into content as well as media coverage. They are reliable and get the job done.
Whether you're a real estate developer or a fast-growth tech start-up, we know how to tailor our core approach to your unique needs.

Corporate thought leadership is the process of raising the profile of a company brand through insight-driven content that positions the business as a leader within their sector. Effective corporate thought leadership can raise the profile of a business among customers, employee, investors, and other stakeholders.
Corporate thought leadership is a very effective way to drive awareness of a company (and position that business as an expert) among existing and potential customers, investors, recruits, and other stakeholders. In fact, our research shows that companies that are recognised as thought leaders recruit better, sell more, raise more investment, and grow faster.
The key parts of corporate thought leadership include setting the strategy; identifying topics; turning insights on those topics into content, such as articles, case studies, videos, and otherwise; and getting that content into the hands of your audience through PR, social media, and otherwise.
The cost of a corporate thought leadership campaign will vary depending on the scope and intensity of the activity. At Profile, our support starts from £4,500 or $5,750 per month for a minimum of a 6-month campaign.
