Why bundled wins

Buying the parts loses to buying the whole.

  • 1

    Authority is built on stacking · speaking, content, PR and awards reinforce each other when they happen in the same year. Doing one channel costs the same effort but yields one-fifth the result.

  • 2

    Top-tier speakers charge £6-12k for a single keynote and take 4-6 months to book · the bundle locks 4 slots for £4,500 because of the B2B Growth Hub speaker-bureau relationships.

  • 3

    Ghost-writing alone costs £800-1,200 per long-form article from a quality writer · the bundle delivers 4 + distribution + LinkedIn cascade · for less than the writer alone would charge.

  • 4

    Press kit, photography and a coherent narrative are usually built reactively (when a journalist asks) and look it. Built proactively, you control the story · journalists pitch you, not the other way round.

FAQ

Before you ask.

Whose name goes on the speaking slots and articles · mine or the company?

Your choice per piece. Most clients alternate: personal byline on thought-leadership articles, company byline on category-trend pieces, personal speaker name for panels and keynotes. We map this in the positioning workshop.

What if I'm camera-shy or new to speaking?

Two of the four slots default to panel format (lower-pressure, easier debut) · the other two can be keynote or moderation depending on your comfort. We also include speaker coaching (1-2-1 session before each slot) at no extra cost.

Can the press releases be commercial announcements (product launches etc.)?

Yes · though we recommend a 70/30 split (70% authority/thought-leadership, 30% commercial). Commercial-heavy press cycles burn trade-press relationships faster than they build authority.

How is success measured if authority is intangible?

We measure 6 things: speaking minutes delivered, articles published, press mentions, LinkedIn follower growth, inbound leads attributed to authority sources, and the AVE equivalent £-value. Reported quarterly + at year-end.
