Where you already show up

Channels we found under your name — the raw material for your authority machine.

GCT — goals · content · targeting

Questions for you, Ashleigh

Answer these and your audit sharpens from good to precise. These are the gaps where your goals, content focus, or target audience weren’t fully clear to us.

1

Goal clarity

Are you building a personal brand independently, or is your LinkedIn primarily a sales tool for KAKE? Knowing your actual goal shapes everything else.

2

Career horizon

Do you see yourself staying in media advertising long-term, or is this a stepping stone? Your personal brand investment should match your 3-year career vision.

3

No Instagram or TikTok

You're in advertising and selling to businesses that use these platforms — do you personally use Instagram or TikTok? If not, is that intentional or just not a priority yet?

4

LinkedIn engagement is low

Your posts are generating 4–9 likes on ~700 followers. Are you getting DMs or actual leads from LinkedIn? If not, what's working for prospecting vs. what isn't?

5

No consistent handle

You don't have a cross-platform handle. If you were to pick one personal brand handle to use everywhere (not @kaketv-adjacent), what would it be?

6

KAKE station bio

Does KAKE give Account Executives a bio page on kake.com, or is that only for on-air talent? If not, is there internal appetite to create one?

7

Facebook prospecting

You posted in a Hutchinson small business group in Oct 2025. How effective has that been? Are you systematically working FB groups or was that a one-off?

8

No digital certifications listed

Do you hold any Google Ads, Meta Blueprint, or IAB certifications? Those would strengthen your credibility as a digital advertising consultant, especially when selling digital packages.
