The roast
Oscar’s career trajectory is a perfect case study in AI disruption: he realized robots would replace his design job, so he pivoted to the only thing less intellectually rigorous than AI—ghostwriting LinkedIn posts for people who are too busy being "CEOs" to write their own. He’s essentially a professional coat-tail rider who rebranded his marriage certificate as a Chief Operating Officer title.
About Oscar
I spent 5 years building a career in an industry thats going to be wiped out by AI in the next two.I coached people in that industry, taught workshops, and built a TikTok following recommending tools.But with every new tool I discovered the clearer it became.Product Design as I knew it was a thing of the past.So I had to make a choice.Either, I struggle to get one of the few remote design roles available between millions of other Designers before AI could do the heavy lifting…or I expand on the other skills I had picked up along the way.You see, my coaching business for new designers had a steady stream of inbound clients since day one. And they all came from LinkedIn.I had posts go viral multiple times on TikTok and LinkedIn.I knew how to create content that not only converted but also got shared. A lot.But I never identified as a “Marketer” I didn’t study that. That was my wife.(Molly Stovold, CEO of Sitting Pretty. LinkedIn’s fastest growing inbound marketing agency).Molly’s business was growing faster than she could keep up.She needed a systems guy, who knew her strategies like the back of their hand.Someone who’d listened to her go on and on about what content frameworks convert and social selling techniques that fill the pipeline every day for the past 3 years.Someone who had put them into practice to build something for themselves.Someone who had done it with structure, processes, and design thinking integrated into literally all of it to make it make sense to non marketers.By this stage you probably know what I am about to say…She knew she needed me before I did.Next thing I knew, I was officially a Marketer.And so together we are building and scaling Sitting Pretty to $1m ARR. It took us 5 months to get to $300k and we are showing every step of the way here in public.Follow along to see what works (and what doesn’t) or book a call to apply for us to build your personal brand on LinkedIn.We’re pretty good at it:→ It took us 4 months to take Tanya’s brand to no.1 UK creator for Online Business on LinkedIn→ 3 months to transform a 75 year old lawyer’s dormant LinkedIn into 27k followers and a $25k coaching program we’re selling through the platform→ And Martijn’s web design agency went from nothing to a hitting capacity with a waitlist in only 3 months

Every day I review the progress of 16 clients to answer questions such as: - Is the sales pipeline full? - How are the posts performing? - What are the responses int he DMs? - Do we have next week’s content lined up? - Are the comments up to our quality standards? - Who do we need to follow up with today to book a call? - How many calls have we booked for this client this week? This used to take me about 45 min per client, but I found a way to get it down to 10. To answer some of these questions, like the DM replies, I need to get my hands dirty and do manual work.

I've loved cars since I was a child. I used to wash my parents cars, take out the seats, see whats under the dashboard covers, or inside the engine bay. When I turned 15 I saved up all my money to buy a beat up old BMW and went to town on it. I learned how to fix mechanical problems, weld, paint, and fix anything wrong with it. When I was finally 18, I bought a van, converted it to a camper, and lived in it until I met my wife and we moved to Bali. 5 Years of scooters and rental cars only. I missed my cars… Now that we’re in Portugal and finally bought a car, I can get back to doin

I closed a client last month because he asked me to. I didn’t even tell him what I do. That’s inbound marketing working as it should. Inbound is essentially putting out so much value for free that people come to you. Like the guy I mentioned, who’d been watching my content for a while and reached out ready to buy. I've also done the opposite. I’ve built outbound campaigns with no personal brand behind them and no warm audience. Some of those got calls booked within a day. When it works, it feels like a cheat-code, but it’s pretty risky. I only have one DM, one chance, and one first
