Hi, I’m Steve. 

Fractional FMO and the creator of ‘The Brand Salience Factor’.

As a fractional freelance marketing officer, I provide strategic marketing leadership on a flexible, part-time basis to help organisations accelerate growth without the cost of a full-time executive. 

I specialise in developing marketing strategies, leading in-house marketing teams, managing campaigns, and aligning marketing with business objectives.

I am the founder of The Brand Salience Factor, featuring my exclusive 7-step SALIENT framework. This system helps professionals become visible, trusted, and memorable by building a powerful personal brand on LinkedIn®, the world’s largest professional network.

The problems I solve:
» Lack of clarity and impact in LinkedIn® profiles that fail to engage ideal clients
» Ineffective marketing strategies that don’t align with business goals or generate growth
» Difficulty establishing a trusted personal brand that stands out amidst the noise

The solutions I provide:
» Tailored LinkedIn® profile optimisation using my SALIENT framework to stand out authentically and attract opportunities
» Strategic leadership as fractional FMO to drive growth and marketing success without full-time costs
» Coaching and tools to nurture engagement, build networks, and boost profile searchability for lasting visibility

Who I work with:
I partner with business professionals, entrepreneurs, marketers, and organisations seeking to enhance their LinkedIn® presence, strengthen brand authority, and accelerate market impact efficiently with expert marketing guidance.

What’s important to me:
In business and life, authenticity and integrity guide everything I do. I believe in creating honest, meaningful connections and continually improving to make a positive difference in both my community and professional networks.

Success on LinkedIn® in 2026 hinges entirely on a well-defined, expert-driven strategy that aligns your profile, content, and engagement for maximum visibility, authority, and lead generation under the new AI-powered 360 Brew algorithm.

Hi, I’m Steve, 

Your LinkedIn Skills Coach. Deeply experienced in building reputations like YOURS online.

Amplifying YOU (Digitally) through optimising your LinkedIn Profile on desktop and mobile. 
My intent is to amplify YOU, and maximise YOUR Social Selling Index Score - a metric that LinkedIn puts in place to measure the activity of its 875M users (as of October 2022, LinkedIn has 875 million users worldwide).

Helping business owners like YOU communicate YOUR genius through an ecosystem of personalised communication is my expertise. 

Securing YOU the attention of YOUR ideal clients and building know, like and trust, so YOU are highly considered in pivotal moments of choice. 

"Steve thank you for giving so freely of your time and for the incredible learning I have received from you. You have a wealth of knowledge, and I look forward to our continued working relationship in 2023." - Adam Walsh 

These are 3 key concerns OUR clients face:

1. They want to demonstrate their real human connection, appreciation and authenticity, Online and Offline.
2. They are tired of showing up online in the 'Sea of Sameness'
3. They struggle to get noticed amongst the 875M LinkedIn profiles (with three new professionals joining every second).


To solve these challenges buntu. powered by Send Handwritten offers this success plan:

▶ Positioning YOU as an authority in YOUR market, leading to conversations with YOUR ideal clients

▶ Branding YOU unconditionally for YOUR legacy 

⇰ Uncovering YOU is a unique process designed to clarify YOUR true genius. 

⇰ Expressing YOU secures YOUR branding guidelines in ONE document.

⇰ Amplify YOU to optimise your LinkedIn profile for desktop and mobile and increase YOUR Social Selling Index (SSI) score 

▶ Secure appointments with YOUR ideal clients and decision-makers. 
LinkedIn is the new resource for business. Your LinkedIn speaks before YOU do.

My intention is to grow YOUR business in 2023 via LinkedIn and help YOU show up far more amplified and optimised on LinkedIn.com with your SSI score to reach above 75, with 80+ as the target (showing YOU are using LinkedIn effectively).

I help YOU amplify YOUR essence, the spirit and genius of who YOU are, and the impact YOU seek to make.
