LinkedIn services
LinkedIn management in the UK, run by one named person rather than an account team
Run by the pair Women's Health featured, who hold a three year retainer with No Escape London. Three ways to work on LinkedIn: an audit that tells you whether it is worth doing, a monthly retainer that runs your own profile, and a campaign that adds outreach on top. Every post is written by Dragos and approved by you before it publishes.
Start with a verdict, or start with the work
Run from High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire for UK and international clients. Prices are in pounds sterling and no VAT is added. If you are ordering from outside the UK your card issuer sets the exchange rate, and anything due in your own country is outside our invoice.
The honest framing
What LinkedIn management can and cannot do
LinkedIn is sold harder than almost any other channel, usually with numbers nobody can source. Here is the version we can stand behind, because it is about how the work is done rather than what it will produce.
What this actually is
- Someone writes as you, consistentlyThe whole service is turning expertise you already have into posts you would have written if you had the time. There is no growth trick underneath it.
- One person, namedDragos writes every post. There is no junior account executive and no template, and you can tell from a profile whether that is true.
- You approve everythingNothing publishes on your profile without you reading it. That is not a premium feature, it is the only responsible way to write in someone else's name.
What we will not tell you
- How many leads it will produceNobody can know that before seeing your profile, your category and your offer. Any agency quoting a lead number in a pitch is guessing with your money.
- That it works quicklyLinkedIn compounds. A profile that has been quiet for two years does not turn around in a month, and we would rather set that expectation now than at month three.
- That it suits everyoneIf your buyers are not on LinkedIn, this is the wrong spend. The audit exists partly so you can find that out for £297 rather than for a year of retainer.
Who is writing this. Dragos Nistor, Co-Founder and Business Strategist, 25,000 followers built organically rather than bought, and LinkedIn Top Entrepreneurship Voice in 2024. Both founders are also guest lecturers at the University of Greenwich on social media and content strategy. Those are the only credentials on this page, and both are checkable: one is an award LinkedIn issued rather than a claim we made about ourselves, and the other is a real institution you can ask.
The three options
An audit, a retainer, or a campaign
They are not a ladder. The audit is a diagnostic that stands alone, and the two monthly options differ by what they are trying to move rather than by how much you get.
-
One off
Profile and Content Audit
£297
The place to start if you are not sure LinkedIn is worth the monthly commitment. A written verdict rather than a sales call, and it stands on its own if you go no further.
- Coversprofile review, content strategy analysis, competitor benchmarking and a 30, 60 and 90 day action plan, with a 30 minute follow up call
- Delivery5 working days from the brief
-
Monthly
Personal Brand Management
£697
Your own profile, run properly. For a founder or consultant whose expertise is the thing being sold and who has no time to post it consistently.
- Coversprofile optimisation, content strategy, post creation and scheduling, engagement management and a monthly report
- Reportingongoing, reported monthly
- TermsRolling monthly, 2 months notice, no setup fees.
-
Monthly
Lead Generation Campaign
£1,197
Outreach and connection strategy on top of the content, reported weekly rather than monthly because a pipeline moves faster than a personal brand.
- Coverstargeted outreach, connection strategy, supporting content, engagement management and weekly reporting
- Reportingongoing, reported weekly
- TermsRolling monthly, 2 months notice, no setup fees.
Which one. Start with the audit if you are not yet convinced LinkedIn is worth a monthly commitment; it is designed to be useful even if you never buy anything else. Take Personal Brand Management if your own name is the thing that opens doors. Take the Lead Generation Campaign if you need pipeline rather than reputation and want outreach running alongside the content, which is why it reports weekly instead of monthly.
How a month runs
- OnboardingA long call where Dragos takes your positioning, your opinions, the things you refuse to say and the people you want reading. Your profile is rewritten from that.
- DraftingPosts written in your voice and sent to you before anything publishes. If a draft is wrong it is rewritten rather than argued about.
- Publishing and commentsPosts go out on schedule and the comment threads are worked, because on LinkedIn the thread is where most of the reach is decided.
- ReportingPersonal Brand Management is ongoing, reported monthly. Lead Generation Campaign is ongoing, reported weekly, because a pipeline needs looking at more often than a reputation does.
On stopping. Rolling monthly, 2 months notice, no setup fees. If it is not working we would rather you paused than stayed out of inertia, and the reporting is deliberately plain enough that you can tell.
Before you book
Personal Brand Management covers profile optimisation, content strategy, post creation and scheduling, engagement management and a monthly report. The Lead Generation Campaign covers targeted outreach, connection strategy, supporting content, engagement management and weekly reporting. Both are monthly, and the difference is that one builds a reputation while the other works a pipeline.
Dragos Nistor, personally, on every account. Not a junior, not a template and not a generated draft passed off as yours. You approve every post before it publishes, so you would notice if that were not true.
Ours is £697 a month for Personal Brand Management and £1,197 a month for the Lead Generation Campaign, with a one off audit at £297. Rates elsewhere vary too widely to quote usefully, so we publish ours rather than characterising anyone else's.
Slower than you would like, and we will not put a number on it. LinkedIn compounds: posting consistently for six months does more than posting hard for six weeks. If you need something faster than that, paid social will get there sooner and we will say so rather than sell you a retainer.
Rolling monthly, 2 months notice, no setup fees. Both monthly options work the same way. We do not use a long tie in, partly because a contract that holds a client in place removes the pressure on us to be worth keeping.
profile review, content strategy analysis, competitor benchmarking and a 30, 60 and 90 day action plan, with a 30 minute follow up call Delivered in 5 working days from the brief for £297. It is written to be useful on its own, so if the answer is that LinkedIn is not your channel, the audit will say that.
No, and they are easy to confuse. LinkedIn management builds your profile. An influencer package puts your brand in front of Dragos's audience on his profile, labelled as a paid partnership. Different product, different purpose, and some clients buy both.
Yes. We are in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire and work with UK and international clients. LinkedIn is written rather than filmed, so nothing about it depends on being in the same country. Payment is in pounds sterling from anywhere, and we reply within one business day.
Why the number on this page is a follower count and not a result
Most LinkedIn agency pages open with statistics about the platform: how many members it has, what share of business leads come through it, how long people spend there. Those figures circulate widely and almost none of them are traceable to a source that published a method. We took them off this page rather than repeat them.
What is left is checkable. Dragos has 25,000 followers, built without paid promotion, and an award LinkedIn issued rather than one we gave ourselves. You can open the profile and judge the writing before you spend anything. That is a weaker opening than a statistic and a stronger basis for a decision.
Where this sits
LinkedIn management runs your own profile. If you want your brand in front of Dragos's audience instead, that is an influencer package and it is a different product. If you want your other channels run too, that is social media management. If you need video for any of it, the UGC range covers twelve categories. The case studies show the work for named clients and the about page covers both founders.
