Executive thought leadership on LinkedIn, YouTube, X and beyond
A point of view worth following.
We build executive and company thought leadership across Asia Pacific, led by LinkedIn and extended to YouTube, X, your website and the local platforms each market actually uses.
Trusted by global brands
People connect with people,not brands.
On LinkedIn, content that features real people, experiences and opinions resonates far more than corporate messaging. The strongest strategies use both the company page and its leaders, with distinct but connected voices.
Thought leadership is also one of the most trusted ways B2B buyers judge a company’s capability.
Kindred manages executive profiles and company pages end to end, from strategy and content to publishing and engagement.

What we offer
End-to-end thought leadership, on every platform.
LinkedIn is the main stage for business leaders in most of Asia Pacific, but not all of it. We build your executives' voice where your audience actually listens, then keep it consistent across every channel and market.
Executive presence on LinkedIn
We optimise your leaders' profiles, write posts and articles in their own voice, and manage engagement, so their thinking reaches the decision-makers who matter.
Company page amplification
We keep your company page active and on-brand, then use paid amplification to put your best ideas in front of the accounts and audiences you want to reach.
YouTube and video
Executive interviews, explainers and short-form cuts. We handle scripting, filming and editing, publish to YouTube, and repurpose every piece for your other channels.
X and real-time commentary
Where your industry debates in real time, we help leaders join the conversation with timely, credible takes on news, events and trends.
Website, articles and newsletters
Your own channels hold your best thinking. We turn executive perspectives into articles, insight hubs and newsletters that build search visibility and get cited by AI answer engines.
Local platforms in every market
Where LinkedIn isn't the norm, we take your voice to the platforms people use: WeChat and Zhihu in China, note in Japan, Naver in Korea, and more.

Trends forbrands.
Steady growth
LinkedIn now has more than 1.3 billion members, including over 390 million in Asia Pacific. India alone has more than 179 million, making the region central to any B2B audience.
Video is surging
Video creation on LinkedIn grew 27% and video views 36% in 2025. Short executive clips and interviews are now among the fastest ways to build reach and trust.
Post weekly
Company pages that post at least weekly see around twice the engagement of those that don’t. Consistency matters more than volume.
Newsletters and articles
Long-form newsletters and articles build lasting authority. They reach subscribers directly, rank in search and are increasingly cited by AI answer engines.
