Thought Leadership Content Strategy: 1,200+ Downloads

Client Overview

A mid-stage UK-based HR SaaS company engaged Sthenos Labs to establish itself as a thought leader among enterprise HR professionals. Despite initial traction in HR tech, their content lacked direction, prominent voice, and consistent distribution across owned channels.

Challenges

• Sporadic blog publishing without unifying themes
• Limited founder visibility or POV in content
• Low engagement on LinkedIn despite cross-posting
• Email newsletters lacked structure and strategic timing
•  

Our Approach

1. Founder-Centric Content Roadmap

We developed a quarterly content calendar featuring high-impact themes such as:
– The Future of Work
– People Analytics in Midsize Firms
– Hybrid Hiring Trends
Each theme mapped to long-form blogs, gated whitepapers, and LinkedIn-native formats.

2. Thoughtful Content Production & Design

• Conducted founder interviews and industry research
  • Drafted SEO-optimized long-form content
  • Produced visuals tailored for each platform (infographics, carousel posts, quote cards)
  • Collaborated via Google Docs, Grammarly, and streamlined feedback loops

3. Content Repurposing Framework

Maximizing ROI from each asset:
– Blog → LinkedIn carousel + quote graphics
– Whitepaper → 2–3 newsletter sends
– High-performing LinkedIn posts → video scripts

This ensured high-impact content extended across multiple platforms without additional workload.

Tools used: Clearscope, BuzzSumo, Google Docs, Grammarly, Canva
