Case Study
Brown Leadership
About the client
Brown Leadership® is a learning and development firm founded by Kimberly Brown, a globally recognized leadership strategist, international keynote speaker, bestselling author of Next Move, Best Move, and host of the Your Next Move podcast. The firm works with companies to develop mid-level talent into the next generation of leaders.
The Challenge
Kimberly had built strong individual recognition through her book and podcast — but Brown Leadership, the firm behind her work, was less visible. The challenge: build the firm’s authority without diluting Kimberly’s personal brand and keep both voices distinct without forcing clients to choose which one to follow.
Execution Plan
We designed and ran the content strategy for both brands in parallel, treating them as two connected but distinct properties rather than one blurred presence.
For Kimberly’s personal brand:
We built a thought leadership presence across LinkedIn, Instagram and Threads, anchored in the frameworks and ideologies Kimberly was already known for (her perspective on leadership, team building and what it takes to lead well in an AI-shaped world).
LinkedIn leaned into long-form insight and frameworks; Instagram carried the visual and human side of her work; Threads gave space for sharper, in-the-moment takes.
For Brown Leadership:
We developed educational content, newsletters and campaign materials that positioned the firm as the system behind Kimberly’s thinking.
The newsletter was the one place that blended Kimberly’s personal voice and reflections with Brown Leadership’s offers, programs and announcements.
Separate editorial calendars, planned independently so neither brand was an afterthought of the other.
Results
- 5.4% engagement rate (roughly 3x the industry benchmark)
- 24% audience growth rate
Kind Words
Working with Sujata/ The Social Unlimited has been such a wonderful experience.
She’s worked on both the personal and company brand side of our business and been able to expertly capture the nuances of both brands on multiple platforms.
