Top 24 Marketer 2024 | Creating Thought Leaders through Personal Branding

Hey, I’m Carina! I help people stand out on LinkedIn by turning their thoughts, experiences, and expertise into content that gets seen and starts conversations.

As an Account Manager at the world’s leading personal branding agency, I work with founders, execs, and professionals to grow their audience, build credibility, and open doors to new opportunities.

I’ve spent years figuring out what actually works on LinkedIn, what flops, and how to create content that people want to read. 

Personal branding isn’t about chasing likes or trying to sound perfect. The best personal brands are built on real stories, honest opinions, and a clear message. I help people figure out what they want to say and how to say it in a way that actually resonates.

🌻 I’ve helped clients reach millions of views and turn LinkedIn into their biggest growth channel
🌻 I know what makes content stand out, whether it’s storytelling, strategy, or saying what everyone else is too afraid to say
🌻 I love working with people who have something to say but don’t know how to put it into words

As an employee, I also like to create content showing the other side of work, the moments outside of client calls and meetings that make work more than just a job. I share many employees' thoughts and experiences in today’s workplace, but are often too nervous to voice them.

When I’m not working on LinkedIn content, you’ll probably find me traveling, volunteering with Girlguiding, or learning a new language.

Always open to speaking opportunities and brand partnerships.

My DM's are always open :-)

You can have a strong title, decent pay, and great perks.

And still feel like you don’t belong.

Not because you want attention.
Because you want your voice to count.

(Image credit to Felix Bertram)

Most companies say they listen.
But if they heard what people say after work, they’d realise they don’t.

So, how do you know if a company actually values you?

🌻 You’re asked for input, and it’s acted on
↳ Not just “we’ll take it on board.”

🌻 You can speak up without fear
↳ Respect should never depend on your job title.

🌻 You get credit for your ideas
↳ Recognition shouldn’t get lost up the chain.

🌻 You’re supported when things are tough
↳ Being valued means being backed on bad days, too.

Culture isn’t free coffee and flexible Fridays.
It’s how people are treated when no one’s looking.

If your voice doesn’t matter,
Your job title won’t make a difference.

Would you agree, and have you ever felt undervalued?

Favikon Top 20 Personal Branding Influencers in the UK in 2025 | Brand Manager at Lever Brands

I thought feeling miserable at work was just part of being an adult.

I graduated into a pandemic and somehow landed what looked like a “great” job.

It paid well. There was a clear career path. The company had a name people recognised.

But I hated it.

Every day, and even the evenings after, felt like a long, stressful slog. I felt flat and disconnected, and started to wonder if this was just how work is meant to feel. Something you push through, not enjoy.

A few years later, everything looks different.

I started making content on the side. That turned into a genuine interest in personal branding.

Now I’m a brand manager.

The work can still be intense at times, but the days go fast and I feel like myself in the work. That alone makes a huge difference.

It’s not about finding a “dream job”.

It’s about doing something that actually fits you.

If your job constantly drags you down, maybe it’s not you.
Maybe it’s time to change direction.
