I share tips & stories about job hunting, leadership, and marketing yourself | Demand Gen @ Aion | Creator of This Could've Been an Email

According to my mom, I started writing stories at age 3. Picked up a pencil and never put it down, which explains the book, the business, and my obsession with Google Docs.

Today, I’m the founder of Verbatim, a boutique agency helping brands grow through high-impact influencer marketing, fractional operations, and speaker scouting. We’re also ranked the #1 influencer agency in Phoenix by Influencer Marketing Hub — which is exciting and now lives proudly in my email signature.

I help brands stop blending in, and I help creative professionals &amp; entrepreneurs build careers that align with the life they actually want.

The tl;dr:
↳ Bestselling author of The Unapologetic Professional
↳ Keynote speaker, advisor, and marketer
↳ Helping people rethink work without burning it all down
↳ Host of Stop the Scroll, co-creator of Let Her Cook 🌮👀 

As seen in/at: HubSpot, Harvard, Fast Company, Stanford, CNBC, American Marketing Association, and more.

The world feels so heavy. And the calendar still says "10am team sync."

There's something v dystopian about being expected to treat work as business-as-usual while being handed headlines that knock the wind out of us. 🫠

Work doesn't stop. And for many of us, it helps. It gives me structure, something to focus on, and a sense of purpose. And I care deeply about my work, clients, and team. But expecting people to fully detach from everything else they're navigating is the part that feels outdated.

We're living through a different work reality than our parents and grandparents. The information hit differently. You weren't watching a crisis unfold in real time on your phone between Slack messages. The boundary between "life" and "work" barely exists anymore, but for some reason we're still pretending it does.

As I build my business this year, I'm thinking less about optimizing output and more about how to lead in this constant state of in-between, where people are capable, committed, and still very human. 🫶🏽

If you ask me, the future of work isn't about learning how to compartmentalize 24/7. It's learning how to do meaningful work without asking people to leave half of themselves at the door.

How your email is finding me after a weekend of being glued to the news (again), hearing about a certain social media management platform, and realizing it’s still January.

P.S. Abolish ICE.

Angela Snyder

Founder & Digital Content Manager

I drive engagement and growth through content, relationships, and branding | GTM | Digital marketer | Content creator | Community builder | Storyteller | Personal brand strategist | World traveler and obsessed dog mom 🐶

Hi, I’m Angela!👋🏻 I’ve been a writer for as long as I could hold a pencil. I’m happiest when I’m building relationships, empowering others, or cuddling with my dog, Elle Jae. I’ve explored 33 countries so far and am always planning my next adventure.✈️

My LinkedIn journey began in 2022 when I was looking for a career change. In just 6 months, I grew an organic following of 15,000, and within 3 years I had built a community of 50,000. My personal brand opened countless doors and ultimately gave me the confidence to leave corporate life and launch my own business in the summer of 2025.🥳

I started my career in education, teaching for 8 years and even helping establish an international school in the Netherlands, where I lived for 2 years. From there, I pivoted into tech, spending 3 years in various B2B SaaS marketing roles before taking the leap into entrepreneurship.

Now I help founders, executives, and small business owners turn LinkedIn into a growth engine by building authority, thought leadership, and visibility to scale their businesses.📈

LinkedIn changed my life. Today, I pay it forward by helping business leaders build their own brands rooted in storytelling and relationships through 1:1 coaching, ghostwriting, and team workshops.

Shoot me a message if you’d like to collaborate, or just swap travel stories and dog photos!🐾

Account Marketing Strategist

Areas: Account-Based Marketing (ABM), Content Marketing, Product Marketing, Email Marketing, Lead Generation, Sales Enablement

• Develops and executes strategic account marketing plans to drive client acquisition and revenue.
• Creates personalized and relevant messaging for outbound LinkedIn and email sequences.
• Collaborates with the revenue team to align marketing initiatives with account-based sales strategies.
• Builds and maintains strong relationships with key stakeholders and prospective clients.

I cannot believe I need to post this in 2026.

But here’s your reminder: 

It’s never too late to find love, family takes countless forms, and “why bother” after a certain age is an incredibly bleak take on life.🫠

I’m so sick of men getting “older and wiser" while women just get “old." I’m so tired of the assumption that marriage is only worthwhile if you're having biological children.

DO BETTER.👏

👆🏻My job title at the start of each of the last 5 years.

Talk about an evolution.😅 

It’s not the linear path that most careers take, but it’s MY journey.

And each chapter has taught me something the last one couldn't. 

Life works in mysterious ways. This year, I hope you embrace the unknown and trust the pivot.

Because I have, and I'm just getting started!😉

Not enough people here talk about the crap female entrepreneurs have to deal with. 

Well, I’m going to.🤷🏻‍♀️

I had a consultation with a man yesterday.

He was quite the “character”. Very strong personality. Talked A LOT. Complained A LOT. Bragged A LOT. 

Interrupted me while I was speaking to give an unsolicited “tip”.

The type of guy that insults you but then says “no offense”.

I didn’t have a good feeling. I told him I’d shoot him an email later recapping our call and sharing my recommendation.

When I pasted our call transcript into GPT, even the AI was appalled. It called him “frustrated and emotionally bruised“, warned he’d “test my authority”, and then asked if I even wanted to take this person on as a client.😅

I knew he’d be difficult so I’d need to have firm boundaries. I wanted some time to think about it before I followed up with him. 

But a few hours later, he sent me this email. And that’s when I knew.🫠

I absolutely could not take this man on as a client. No way. 

So in the end, he made the decision easy for me.

Not every person who comes to me is the right fit. I don’t have to say yes to everyone. My mental health is worth far more to me than my bottom line.

I receive inappropriate messages and emails all the time. And I’m going to start sharing them. I’m going to start calling out the behavior. I’m going to share the stories.

Because remaining quiet and acting like building a business as a woman is a walk in the park does not help. Entrepreneurship is hard, period. This type of behavior is just the cherry on top.

To other women dealing with this: you don't owe anyone your time or energy.

Trust your gut and protect your peace.🙌

graphical user interface, text, application

I’ve generated more than 520K impressions in the first 4 weeks of January.🤯

My content has reached more than 220K people just this month.

And I only posted 16 times. That means there were 11 days so far this month I DIDN’T post.

Because that’s the cadence that feels sustainable for me right now. 

And it's working: 100% of my clients were inbound and 70% found me through LinkedIn.

I hope this shows you just how powerful this platform is, AND how important your personal brand is!

Showing up here matters.
Adding value here matters.
Building relationships here matters.

You don’t have to be perfect and you don’t have to post every single day. But you do need to invest some time and effort. 

And if you need some help, let’s chat!💬

I traveled to Europe for the first time in 2016.
2 years later, I moved there.

By myself.💁🏻‍♀️

I didn’t know anyone there. I didn’t know the language. I only had about a week to find a place to live. 

I was the only English speaker at work. My commute was over an hour and required several different modes of transportation.

And I LOVED it.

I’m not going to lie, there were tough times. I cried more than once. I dealt with my fair share of challenges and discomfort.

But that was the whole point, right? To leave my comfort zone. To do something different. Explore somewhere new. 

And I had soooo much fun!!! I made the greatest friends. I met people from all over the world. I traveled often. I danced at bars. I tried new foods. I founded the Amsterdam Social Kickball League (which is still thriving today!).

After a year, it was time to move back.
But I wasn’t ready.

So I stayed a second year.🤩

The timeline you set for yourself is NOT set in stone. I mean, when I was a child I thought I’d be married by 25…

If something feels right, stay. If an opportunity excites you, take it. Do what's best for YOU, regardless of what the “plan” says!

Moving to Europe was hands-down one of the best decisions I've ever made. It completely changed how I see people and the world.

We only get one life. Make it count.🎉

I generated over 2,000,000 impressions and reached 735,000 people in 2025.

I didn't post every single day. I didn't post at the same exact time each day.

I posted when stories and ideas popped into my head. I posted if I thought it would resonate with my audience. I only posted if I felt I was adding value in some way.

Some weeks, I wouldn't post at all. Some weeks, I'd post once or twice. Other weeks, I'd post a lot.

It depends on what comes to my mind and what feels natural. But I know it doesn't come easy or feel natural to everyone.

There's pressure to follow all the "rules": post daily, optimize your timing, stick to a content calendar, batch your content weeks in advance.

But quality beats quantity every time.
And sustainable beats burnout.

If posting every day works for you, great. If it doesn't, that's fine too. Find what does.

This is the approach I take with my own content, and it's the same philosophy I bring when helping my clients find their voice on LinkedIn.

At the end of the day, your best content comes from showing up as yourself. Anything on top of that is just a bonus.🎉

Just 1 week into 2026 and I've already got 160K+ impressions and more than 1,600 engagements!

…and I've only posted 3 times.😅

If you're nervous about putting content out on LinkedIn, don't be. It's a game changer.

Being active on LinkedIn has led to so many opportunities for me: a new career path, multiple job offers, brand partnerships, speaking gigs, and inbound clients.

A year ago, I never would've imagined I'd have my own business today. And that’s the beauty of LinkedIn.

If you've been sitting on the sidelines, this is your sign to start!

Share your insights, your lessons, and your journey. You don't need to be an “expert”, just be YOU. 

The best time to start was a year ago.
The second best time is right now.💥

Month 3 in business: 8 clients
Month 4 in business: 15 clients

Almost doubled. During the holiday season.

The weeks everyone said would be "dead" turned into my best month yet.🤯

Feeling super grateful for every single client who’s trusted me to help build their personal brand on LinkedIn!

LET’S GOOOOOOOO!!!!🔥🔥

A client texted me at 9:30pm last week, sharing a screenshot of her LinkedIn post and the traction it was getting.🥹

(She told me I didn’t need to respond, but I’m a night owl and was excited so OF COURSE I did!)

More than 400 likes, 50 comments, and 28 reposts. I haven’t even heard about the saves, sends, or impressions yet.

THIS is what my business is all about!

No, I don’t mean vanity metrics. I mean making people (and their businesses) visible. Making my clients happy. Adding value and starting conversations that matter.👏

Late-night texts like these are my favorite kind!!!

Because when the right message meets the right audience, everybody wins.🥳

If you were born between 1985-1995 and are starting the new year single with no kids:

How’s your dog doing?🤔

(photo of mine in the comments!)

4 years ago, I was an elementary school teacher. It feels like a lifetime ago.😮‍💨

In January of 2022, I started logging into LinkedIn and scrolling. 

In February of 2022, I published my very first post. 

I didn’t know best practices, I didn’t know what I was doing. No idea about the algorithm. I just had something I wanted to get off my chest, so I did.

And it resonated. So I posted again.

2 months later, I submitted my resignation for the end of the school year without another job lined up.

2 months after that, I had 15,000 followers and was landing interviews left and right.

I pivoted careers that year. I took a hugeeee risk but it paid off. 

Now, I’m an entrepreneur helping founders and execs grow their personal brands on LinkedIn. 

I’m a LinkedIn consultant and ghostwriter. It feels like things have really come full circle. 

Because LinkedIn has completely changed my life. And it can change yours too. 

You just have to want it. You have to work for it. And you have to know you deserve it.✨

4 years ago, I got active here on LinkedIn.
Which, honestly, is crazy to think about.🤯

I was an elementary school teacher at the time and I had been dreading returning to work after the holidays.

Covid completely shifted my priorities. Teaching had changed, I had changed, and I knew I wanted something more. Something different.

So I did something about it.
I logged onto LinkedIn.🤷🏻‍♀️

Six months later, I had 15,000 followers and was having calls with founders and hiring managers.

By fall 2022, I broke into tech and pivoted to marketing. Fast forward 3 years, and I launched my own business as a LinkedIn consultant, ghostwriter, and personal brand strategist.

If you told 2022 me (or even 2024 me!) I'd be an entrepreneur, my own boss, helping founders and execs grow their brands on LinkedIn, I wouldn't have believed you for a second.

But BELIEVE ME when I say your entire life can completely change in a year. Or less.

Here’s the secret: Know your worth. Bet on yourself. Do the work.👏

In the first 20 days of January, I’ve already made more than 60% of what I made in Q4. 

That means I’m on track to make at least $20k more this quarter than I did last quarter (knock on wood🪵).

It may happen, it may not.
But I’m damn sure manifesting it.✨

If I’ve learned one thing since starting on this platform 4 years ago, it’s this: ANYTHING can happen. 

And if you don’t believe in yourself, who will?

I blocked my calendar today. 
Only had one 45-minute call. 

Yesterday, I had two.

Outside of those calls, I’ve been trying to make sense of the world around me and allowing myself to feel whatever it is I’m feeling.

Last week, someone attempted to steal my car. They were unsuccessful and instead left me with $3,500 worth of damage.

This weekend, I was at two emergency vets with my pup. She’s OK (thank God), but it was a very stressful 5 hours.

And while I was sitting at the vet worrying, I learned that an ICU nurse who dedicated his life to caring for veterans had been executed in the streets, in broad daylight.

If this week feels unbearably heavy, you're not alone.

If you're feeling anxious, scared, confused, or overwhelmed, that's completely normal. 

If you have questions you desperately want answered, you're not the only one.

When we stand together, there are more of us who believe in love, compassion, and basic human decency. And that gives me hope.

We simply cannot be expected to show up "business as usual" every day when we're inundated with breaking news after breaking news, witnessing atrocity after atrocity. Especially when each of us is also dealing with our own personal crises.

Some days, giving your best means getting out of bed, making something to eat, and replying to a few emails.

It's ok to cancel that meeting. It's ok to take that day off. It's ok to prioritize yourself, your family, and your community.

But don't stick your head in the sand. And don't let this become the new normal.

What happens next is up to us. 
Your voice matters. Use it.

On MLK Day (and every day), I hope you remember these words:

“Freedom is never given voluntarily by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed.”

To honor King is to stand up against injustice wherever we see it: in our workplaces, our communities, and our institutions.

I urge you to not be quiet.

I can’t imagine posting business as usual while American citizens are being murdered in the streets by federal agents.

NONE OF THIS IS OK. 

I urge you to take 5 minutes and call your reps.

If not now, when?
