Hello Leadfeeder

Leadfeeder built a certification loop that turned "education into a demand generation channel." It's been dark since the rebrand.

That's the exact community-led growth problem this role exists to solve. Here's how I'd think about it, and the proof I can run it.

The Pitch: Where I'd Start

I'd start with exactly what I already drafted: "Leadfeeder Academy Certified," a concept for relaunching the Academy's certification-to-social-share loop as a demand-gen channel, not a support resource. Read the concept →

Leadfeeder's own case study, published on their LMS vendor's site, credits this exact mechanic with "turning education into a demand generation channel." It isn't visible anywhere on the current public site, no certificates, no badges, no share prompts.

That's not a hypothetical gap. It's a proven asset, likely orphaned by the Echobot merger and two rebrand cycles since, sitting on top of an existing 40+ course catalog that needs no new content production to revive.

I didn't just study this pattern. I built and run Marketing In Action, a community, academy, and newsletter that compounds through the same peer-referral, word-of-mouth mechanic, from zero to 5,000+ subscribers. That's the credibility bridge a PLG plus community-led demand gen hire needs to show.

The Proof

Start with the Academy revival concept, built from Leadfeeder's own LearnUpon case study and a direct fetch of the current public Academy pages, the sharpest single proof point here since it's the exact community-led growth loop this role hires for. Beyond that: I founded and grew Marketing In Action from zero to 5,000+ subscribers at a 47% open rate, real community ownership through the same mechanic. At Reform, I rebuilt the PLG funnel and go-to-market, 48% increase in non-branded organic traffic, 34% trial activation lift. At Hank Robotics, content-led work drove qualified leads up 1,900% in 90 days, translating directly into pipeline, not just traffic.

Let's talk about Leadfeeder.

If this is the right problem for you, I'd like to talk about it directly.
