Personal branding for founders and experts: let people know you exist

For founders, experts and consultants, a name people recognise opens doors: customers, investors, speaking slots and hires. Coporo, an organic distribution agency, turns your ideas, interviews and opinions into daily content for a network of accounts you own on TikTok, Instagram, YouTube Shorts and beyond. You own the accounts, you sign off the message, and everything is measured in Coporo Live.

The context

Customers, investors and candidates look you up before a meeting, and what they find decides whether they arrive curious or sceptical. Increasingly, they also come across founders and experts without searching at all: a carousel with a clear take on their industry, a clip from an interview that someone forwards to a colleague. Reputation is built there, in ideas that travel with your name attached, far more than in a polished bio on the company website.

Your personal profile is essential, but it mostly reaches people who already know you, and it only works when you find time to post. The ideas you stand for interest very different groups: other founders, people in your industry, people thinking about starting something, people who might want to work with you. With topic accounts built around your name, each idea reaches the people who value it, and all of them point to the same place: your profile, your newsletter or your company.

The challenge
01

You don't have time to post

You run a company or serve clients. Writing and designing content every day always ends up at the bottom of the list.

02

Your best ideas stay in meetings and podcasts

You say valuable things in interviews, talks and calls, yet almost none of it becomes content that travels.

03

Worried about sounding like everyone else

You don't want motivational fluff or empty one-liners. The content has to sound like you and argue your point of view.

One audience per account

One audience per account

Each account speaks to one specific audience with its own hook. These are some we would work with.

How we work it

How we work it

01

Your opinions as carousels

We take a position you hold on your industry and build it into clear slides, in your tone and with your way of arguing.

02

Repurposing interviews and talks

We pull the best ideas from your podcast appearances, keynotes and live sessions and turn them into carousels and short clips.

03

Topic accounts around your name

Alongside your own profile, accounts focused on a subject you know well, each leading back to your name, your newsletter or your company.

04

A lab to find your angle

We test which topics and formats start real conversations and stop pushing whatever doesn't represent you or doesn't connect.

FAQ

FAQ

Will you publish things I haven't said?

No. We start from your ideas, interviews and opinions, and you approve the editorial line. Nothing goes out under your name unless it matches what you think.

How much of my time does it take?

Just enough to share material and review the editorial direction. Writing, design, publishing and analysis are all done by our team.

Is it worth it if I want B2B leads rather than millions of followers?

Yes. We measure conversations, messages and visits to your website or company, not just followers. We agree the goal with you at the start.

Do the topic accounts speak in my name?

They don't impersonate you. Your personal profile posts under your name and with your approval; the topic accounts discuss the subject, cite your ideas as the source and point to your profile, newsletter or company.

Can I do this without appearing on video?

Yes. The core is carousels built on your ideas and opinions. If you have recorded interviews or talks, we use them for short clips; if not, the network runs on text and design alone.

How do I stay in control of what's published?

At the outset you set the topics that are off-limits and approve the editorial line. After that you can see every post in Coporo Live, and anything that doesn't represent you is corrected or taken down.
