The Challenge
Before working with Targo, Jared Zelman wanted to build stronger visibility and credibility across the RevOps, Sales Ops, and Sales Enablement communities. He had clear strategic instincts, a sharp point of view, and strong ideas for campaigns like “RevOps Wrapped,” but needed a more consistent system to turn those ideas into LinkedIn content that could earn attention.
The challenge was not simply to post more. Jared wanted content that felt authoritative, slightly contrarian, and memorable, rather than generic product messaging or bland business advice. The strategy needed to combine storytelling, frameworks, creative formats, and audience-specific hooks that would resonate with founders, operators, C-suite executives, and sales leaders.
LinkedIn content needed a stronger and more consistent strategic voice
Posts needed to stand out in a crowded RevOps and sales enablement market
Jared wanted creative formats that felt more memorable and shareable
Content needed to reach founders, co-founders, directors, and senior tech operators
The Solution
We built a founder-led LinkedIn content strategy around Jared’s RevOps expertise, strategic frameworks, personal stories, and contrarian takes. The content mix focused on practical sales and RevOps insights while using stronger hooks, narrative framing, and more distinctive creative angles to increase attention and memorability.
The strategy leaned into what Jared described as “wide strokes” creative freedom. We explored campaign concepts like “RevOps Wrapped,” visual parody ideas, audience tagging, replicated viral structures, and engagement-led distribution. The goal was to build a content system that could train the LinkedIn algorithm, establish Jared’s authority, and create early momentum with the exact audience he wanted to reach.
The Result
In 61 days, Jared’s LinkedIn content generated 127,711 impressions, 760 engagements, and 752 new followers. The account completed its foundational phase with clear momentum, including an 18.2% increase in impressions from October to November and a 29.9% increase in new followers month over month.
The strongest content patterns came from posts that combined strategic frameworks with personal stories. These posts gave Jared’s audience both actionable value and a human connection, while contrarian takes helped spark stronger conversation and debate. The top-performing post reached 24,659 impressions, demonstrating early viral reach potential inside Jared’s target market.
