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

Did it really “hit hard” though? I don’t think I’ve ever met someone who said this out loud. And yet, I read it about 50 times a day in posts or comments on LinkedIn. In my eyes, it’s a clear sign of AI usage. In the context of LinkedIn being a business platform where everyone is trying to sell something, that is not a good look. If you can’t even put in the effort of writing something yourself, how can I trust you to deliver what you promise? I see AI content as the easy way out. And so does everyone reading it. It makes you lose your personality and with that, your chance for your

I was bad at marketing long before I even knew I was doing marketing. When I was a designer, I regularly sent out proposals for freelance work. I used great templates for these documents and edited them to fit my project. And because I had no idea that a proposal is a marketing and sales asset, I over-edited them in a way that destroyed all their marketing value. Great. Turns out, deleting an introduction that sets the tone for the following pitch and not backing up my claims with testimonials, or at least some visual samples, kind of defeated the purpose of using proven templates in

I say this with so much love: LinkedIn please get your sh*t together. Once again, LinkedIn was broken last week. Loads of accounts were reporting strange and implausible analytics numbers. Some posts showed 10 impressions but 487 individual accounts reached and others just didn’t have any numbers at all. I’ve also had a problem where I can’t schedule a post for the future unless I leave the scheduling menu after setting the date, and then come back to set the time. And yet, here I am continuing to post on the platform because LinkedIn has changed my life. Building a personal bran
