Why you cannot afford to avoid LinkedIn in 2026

In football, reputation used to travel by word of mouth. Opportunities came to you just by being in the right room.

That's not how it works anymore.
  • 1 Today, the first thing an investor or customer does before taking your meeting is check your LinkedIn.
  • 2 The first thing a club does before hiring a coach is Google their name.
  • 3 The first thing a brand does before approaching a player is look at their online presence.

And if there's nothing there, they'll move on to someone else – someone who told their story and made themselves impossible to ignore.

The good news
  • You don't need to become an influencer.
  • You don't need to post every day.
  • You don't need to dance on camera.

You just need an online presence that matches who you are in the real world – and a strategy to make sure the right people see it.

About

Why work with me?

Most agencies don't understand football. Most football people don't understand content.

I speak both languages.

And I know exactly how to translate one into the other, turning your career experience, technical knowledge, and untold stories into content that resonates with the right people.

I've spent over a decade working in the football industry. I've stood pitchside at major tournaments as reporter for UEFA, run social media for FC Bayern Munich and FC Schalke 04, and built localised social media campaigns for the German FA and Tottenham Hotspur.

And now I help football leaders turn their expertise into authority online.

Process

How It Works

Three clear steps from where you are to where you want to be.

02
Brand Engine Build
I develop your content strategy, voice architecture, and first batch of content – built around who you are, not a generic template.
03
Launch & Grow
Whether I'm running your content end-to-end or guiding you through it, the result is the same: a consistent presence that builds authority and attracts opportunity.

Who I Work With

Exclusively for football leaders.

1
Professional Footballers

You've spent your career building a reputation on the pitch. Now it's time to build one off it. Whether you're approaching retirement or already there, your name still carries weight – but only if the right people can find you.

2
Founders and CEOs

You're building something that could change the industry. But investors, partners, and potential clients can't back what they can't see. Your LinkedIn should be working as hard as you are.

3
Elite Coaches

You fill rooms with your knowledge. Your players and students trust you completely. But your reputation doesn't carry into the online world. The coaches getting the best opportunities today aren't better than you – they're just more visible.

FAQs

Common questions

That's exactly why most of my clients hire me. With the done-for-you service, you show up for a quick call every two weeks and I handle everything else – strategy, writing, posting, and optimisation.
Yes. I don't use templates or generic AI content. Every piece starts with your stories, your language, and your perspective. Clients regularly tell me the posts sound more like them than anything they'd write themselves – because I've spent time understanding how you think and talk.
If your goal is to attract business opportunities, investment, partnerships, or career offers in the football industry, LinkedIn is where those decision-makers spend their time. It's not about going viral. You just need to be visible to the right 500 people.
Even better. The best time to build your personal brand is while you still have the spotlight. Players who start before retirement have a headstart when it comes to transitioning into their next chapter.
This is a long-term game, but most clients see meaningful traction within the first 3–4 months. I don't measure success in impressions, followers, or likes. The goal is to connect with the right people – we're optimising for profile views increasing, connection requests, and inbound DMs that will help grow your business and brand.
Yes. Although I have worked selectively across other industries, I now work exclusively with football leaders. That's what makes me different from a generic content agency. I understand the industry, the culture, and the language. That specificity is why the content resonates.
Pricing depends on which service is right for you and your goals. The best way to find out is to book a free strategy call. We'll talk through where you are and I'll recommend the right approach – even if it's not with me.

It depends on the service.

For the Done For You package, I recommend a minimum of 3–6 months. That's typically when you start seeing real traction – consistent visibility, inbound messages, people starting to associate your name with your niche.

That said, I don't lock clients into long contracts. I only win if you win, so everything runs on a monthly rolling basis.

For consulting and other projects, it's usually 1–3 months depending on your exact needs.

You could do that. Anyone can generate a LinkedIn post in 30 seconds now. The question is whether it'll be good enough to resonate with your audience – or just sound like everyone else.

And even if it is good enough, coming up with ideas, writing, editing, scheduling, and staying consistent takes more time than most people realise. Especially when content isn't your main job. That's time pulled away from the things that actually move your business forward.

When you work with me, you're not paying for words on a page. You get a creative sparring partner who understands the nuances of football and your specific business – and can turn that into content that connects with the right people.

AI in the hands of someone who's spent 10+ years working in football and social media will produce something different to AI in the hands of someone who hasn't. The tool is the same. The judgment behind it isn't.
