LinkedIn positioning audit
What we have vs what we still need
Today’s work was enough to shape the strategic direction. It was not enough for a proper profile audit, because LinkedIn only exposed the public / SEO scraps.
A real positioning exercise needs the whole profile context — not just what Google and LinkedIn let strangers peek at through the letterbox.
The missing evidence
These are the inputs needed for a proper profile-positioning exercise.
2
Current About section
The main narrative: identity, credibility, direction, keywords, and whether the tone feels like you.
3
Experience entries
How each role supports the larger positioning: academic, creative-industry, AI, project management, and leadership.
4
Featured section
The proof shelf: links, papers, projects, music work, posts, media, and anything that should be surfaced first.
5
Recent posts and engagement
What your audience already responds to, and where the thought-leadership lane is naturally forming.
6
Profile photo and banner
The visual first impression: professional, warm, distinctive, credible, and aligned with the niche.
7
Connections and followers
Who is already in the room: academia, music industry, AI, sustainability, project management, students, collaborators.
8
Comparable profiles
People in or near your niche, so we can position you against the market rather than in a vacuum.
How the audit should work
A simple sequence to avoid turning this into a swamp. We do not need a committee. Mercifully.
Step 1Collect profile evidence
Step 2Map current positioning
Step 3Compare against niche peers
Step 4Rewrite profile + content direction
The key tone decision
The profile can flex, but it needs a clear centre of gravity.
Academic-led
Best if the aim is credibility with universities, research partners, PhD candidates, funders, and conferences.
Industry-led
Best if the aim is consultancy, creative-sector networks, MusicFutures visibility, and commercial opportunities.
Hybrid authority
Probably the strongest fit: academic credibility plus creative-industry fluency, AI-native management, and practical strategy.
