If I were Lando Norris’ personal brand manager, here's what I'd do to grow his LinkedIn:

(For anyone unaware, Lando just delivered a masterclass in Abu Dhabi, FINALLY becoming Formula 1 World Champion after 6 years of being told he wasn't "championship material")

My 3-step playbook for Lando's LinkedIn:

1) I'd own the 'authenticity over aggression' narrative

→ His championship proves nice guys don't finish last in high-performance environments
→ Share how he stayed true to his personality while developing killer instinct
→ Position this as lessons in sustainable high performance without burning bridges
→ Connect F1 teamwork to business collaboration

Execution: Weekly posts breaking down what Lando’s “authenticity code” is, sharing the mantra as a series.

2) Create 'pressure and patience' content series

→ Document how he handled 6 years of "nearly there" moments without losing his mind
→ Show the mental preparation behind staying consistent when everyone expected explosions
→ Frame it around long-term thinking in a short-term world
→ This builds credibility that translates perfectly to founder audiences

(I'm sure Zak Brown, Netflix and the McLaren team are already onto this!)

Execution: Behind-the-scenes content about playing the long game in competitive industries

3) Share the lessons from his strategic evolution

→ His racecraft completely evolved from the kid who used to overdrive the car
→ Talk about calculated risk-taking versus reckless ambition
→ Connect race strategy to business pivoting and market timing
→ This positions him as someone who learns systematically from setbacks

Execution: Monthly breakdowns of how patience and preparation beat panic and pressure. 

—-

Lando's proven he can:

Stay true to himself under extreme pressure
Turn criticism into fuel without changing who he is
Deliver when it matters most

If I were Conor Benn's personal brand manager, here's what I'd do to grow his LinkedIn:

(For anyone unaware, Conor just delivered a masterclass against Chris Eubank Jr this weekend, FINALLY ending the 35-year Benn-Eubank rivalry)

Here's my 3-step playbook for Connor's LinkedIn:

1) I'd own the 'comeback through preparation' narrative

→ His win shows what happens when you turn criticism into fuel 
→ Share the mental and strategic preparation that led to those two knockdowns in round 12 → Position this as lessons in long-term thinking and execution 
→ Connect boxing preparation to business strategy

(Fun fact: our most successful athlete client, Mary Earps MBE, talks about process, not just results)

Execution: Weekly posts breaking down how elite preparation translates to business success

2) Create 'pressure makes diamonds' content series

→ Document how he handled the weight of family legacy and rivalry (I'm sure Eddie Hearn and the Matchroom Boxing team are already onto this!)
→ Show the emotional intelligence behind his post-fight comments about ending the saga 
→ Frame it around leadership under pressure 
→ This builds credibility that can easily translate into the world of LinkedIn

Execution: Behind-the-scenes content about handling generational expectations

3) Share the lessons from his tactical evolution

→ His boxing IQ completely outclassed Eubank Jr this time around 
→ Talk about adapting strategy based on previous failures 
→ Connect ring psychology to entrepreneurial pivoting 
→ This positions him as someone who learns and improves systematically

(The LinkedIn audience respects strategic thinking more than raw talent)

Execution: Monthly breakdowns of how setbacks inform better strategies

Connor's proven he can:

Turn family pressure into motivation
Adapt and evolve after defeat
Deliver when everything's on the line

In a world where boxers just post training clips to go viral...

Sometimes the most powerful brand strategy is showing people what winning the long game actually looks like.
