We Create Thought Leaders Through Personal Branding | 150+ Personal Brands Built | Founder & CEO Kurogo

-- DM for Speaking Enquiries --

We turn entrepreneurs into credible thought leaders through personal branding so they can scale their businesses, unlock untapped opportunities and outlast their competition.

If you’re anything like our clients, you’re an expert in your field. One of the best.

But you just don’t seem to have the reputation you deserve.

You want to be the go-to authority in your industry and become an opportunity magnet.

That way you could…

- Generate inbound leads consistently
- Win clients and customers with ease
- Attract media features
- Attract top talent
- Speak on stage

The list is endless.

We help our clients do just that through the power of personal branding, by:

1. Giving them clarity on their brand and positioning them as industry leaders.
2. Blowing up their social profiles and landing them high-profile media features.
3. Helping them convert their new-found reputation into meaningful opportunities and ROI

And having built 300+ personal brands, we’ve got quite good at it, achieving results like these in the process:

🚀 Jack generated 2.5M views and 6 figures in revenue in 90 days with us 
🚀 Joe and Olly generated millions of views and saw a record month
🚀 Guy added 5 figures of pipeline value in a matter of months
🚀 Shan Grew 24,000 followers and landed $200,000 in sales
🚀 Olie added £50K of inbound revenue to his pipeline

🚀 Jemma increased her views by 51,347%
🚀 James became an Amazon Best Seller 
🚀 Tom generated 5M views in 3 months 
🚀 Anna doubled her followers in 1 year
🚀 Debbie generated 11M Views

Your reputation is your biggest asset. Take control of it! 

If you want to see how we could help you build your personal brand, shoot me a dm saying ‘Personal Brand’

If you're not quite ready yet, I post daily content on here showing you how to do it yourself.

Founder

The exec: 20+ yrs experience, industry expert, loved by team

Their profile: looks like a CV from when they applied in 2015

And that’s not trivial either…

Weak profiles cost you opportunities every week.

Worse, people go to competitors who aren’t as good as you.

(Yep, just because their profiles signal more authority).

Here’s the thing:

Your ‘Job Role @ Company’ tagline tells me nothing
Your stock photo cover image is losing interest
Your 3rd person outdates bio is costing authority
Your profile isn’t just a CV anymore.

It’s your personal business card, pitch deck, website and sales page all in one.

I let slip and admitted it to a potential client: 

You won’t track 90% of the work we do for you.

Sure, you’ll see the 10% everyone on LinkedIn is obsessed with:

→ Increased visibility
→ More engagement 
→ Inbound leads 

But your personal brand is 10x more than that. 

→ Nurturing leads from other channels 
→ Generating leads who’ll convert elsewhere
→ Warming prospects in the sales process
→ Build authority to increase perceived value
→ Creating touchpoints for existing leads 
→ Maintaining confidence from current clients
→ Building your employer brand to attract talent
→ Indoctrinating leads into your way of thinking
→ Attracting future partners or investors 
→ Future proofing your career

We all love the inbound leads. 

But reducing a personal brand to just that is stupid.

If you don’t understand that, I’m afraid you don’t understand the modern buyer.

With me? Or disagree?

We're wrapping up our work with a client. 

One of the ones I’m MOST proud of. In 24 months we: 

→ Generated MILLIONS of views 
→ More than TRIPLED their following
→ Earned them a TOP VOICE award 

More importantly: 

We impacted, inspired and influenced thousands of entrepreneurs. 

So often I’ll be told ‘I love the content she’s posting, she’s amazing’

Pretty cool feeling. 

I take 0 credit for this btw. Everything goes to Megan, Liesha, Varun, Jake, Satwik.

Ps. As I was writing this I also realised how mental it is that we’re able to bring 5 people from all sorts of backgrounds and walks of life to create such incredible results for one of the UKs leading entrepreneurs. Love Kurogo - Personal Branding Agency.

Trust is at an all time low. It’s not your fault. 

It’s government, the media and cowboys. 

But it is your problem. Here’s how to rebuild it: 

1. Position yourself as trustworthy

Easiest way to do this: cold hard proof.
Want to be trusted as a leading consultant?
Tell us how many people you’ve helped. 

Not got cold hard proof? 
Work harder to acquire it… 
Just how the game works.

2. Publish content regularly 

LinkedIn is the no.1 place for business owners. 
People trust companies when senior teams post. 
They’re also willing top pay a premium.

(Can’t cover all of this here, but my other posts do)

Ps. Don’t ignore: YouTube & Reddit.

3. Package your expertise

People trust ‘models’ more than raw ‘information’.
Their perceived value is higher.
More memorable = more trusted.

4. Partner with trust people/publications

Some people are already well trusted.
Collaborate with them on content/products.
You’ll gain trust through the Halo Effect.

5. Activate your people 

People are at the heart of all of this, not logos.

82% of customers trust companies more when execs are active on social media.

We’ve build 350+ personal brands now.

The most important thing is this:

It’s not about forging a false impression of yourself. 
It’s about creating a more accurate representation. 

If it’s not backed by a great product and solid proof, it’s pointless.

One trusted and skilled creative partner who wants you to succeed. Clients in 🇺🇸 and 🇬🇧. Sharing my valuable lessons and experiences.

My journey into entrepreneurship and skill-building began when I was 11, growing up in a city of 16,000 people in Northern Europe. Not because someone told me to, but because I was genuinely curious. What began as experiments with side hustles and content creation turned into a lifelong pursuit of learning, serving, and building. Over the last 14+ years, I have taught myself everything I know. Through trial, failure, and relentless improvement.

From creating and editing YouTube videos to even building an online community for thousands around shared interests when I was 14, every step was driven by curiosity and a desire to offer value. Leading and promoting game servers, learning the dynamics of digital platforms, and finding ways to bring people together.

That early start gave me an edge: not just in technical knowledge, but in emotional intelligence, strategic thinking, and the ability to truly understand what people need. I've had the honor to work with clients ranging from emerging startups to 7-8 figure businesses and respected influencers worldwide. I care deeply about helping people and businesses win. Freeing up their time by solving real problems and elevating their online presence.

Besides that, my digital presence has grown steadily over the years. Built not on trends or collaborations, but on consistency, clarity, and care. What started on Instagram has reached over 35,000 followers, with LinkedIn now approaching 20,000 followers. Across platforms, more than 60,000 people are part of this awesome journey. Drawn not just to the content, but to the values and vision behind it.

Today, I'm still building. Still solving. Still sharing what I've learned with others. Alongside client work, I'm laying the foundation for a new global community. A space rooted in service, legacy, and long-term thinking where people don't just grow their businesses, but also become better people.

I have always believed in practical solutions, long-term relationships, and the kind of innovation that starts small, even if it takes more time to achieve. The future? It's still unfolding. But the mission stays the same: to serve, lead, and build something worth passing on. Something that makes our lives better collectively.

If you're curious about the experience my clients have had working with me, feel free to explore the recommendations below. Changing the world. One decision, one person, one legacy at a time.

No matter what happens, I will figure it out.

That mindset alone can take us far. Why?

Because our journey will take us through 
many challenges we don't really expect.

We are working on something awesome,

Things are going well and making progress,

Then, surprise! Another challenge appears.

The truth is that we never really know what 
gets in our way when we work on our goals.

We can have a plan and follow our vision,

But we also need to be ready for more,

Those uncertainties that will surprise us.

And that's when our mindset helps us to 
stay calm and start looking for solutions.

And the sooner we can find that solution,

The sooner we can move to the next thing.

If your business needs an updated online presence, you can always send me a DM.

But the question you need to ask yourself:

Which one would you like to be to yourself?

Of course, there are moments when you're 
the one who has to push yourself forward.

Who says it's time to get up or take a step.

Who won't give up when facing challenges.

The truth is, finding that balance between 
both sides is something that can work best.

So we know when to celebrate small wins,

And when to push ourselves a little more.

Because that balance between both sides 
helps us to adjust when it's really needed.

By the end of the day, those are our goals,

And nobody else will achieve them for us.

We need to show up for ourselves daily.

So figure out when to be your own friend 
and when to test your current limitations.
