Best personal brand strategists in the UK (2026)

How was this list made?

Disclosure: this is Tom Sharman's own site, and Tom is on this list. Read it with that in mind.

We searched for UK personal brand strategists and agencies that work with founders and entrepreneurs, on LinkedIn and on video. Every entry comes from the business's own website, read on 26 October 2026. Their numbers are their claims, quoted as they list them. Nobody paid to be here, and nobody on the list is a client of Tom's. The list is in alphabetical order, with no score. Anyone whose own site we could not read is left out.

Who is on the list?

• Clash Creation, London. "You've built the company. Now build the platform." Three programmes of 6, 9 and 12 months across organic content, digital credibility and real-world authority, from video production to press, podcasts and speaking. It lists "1.5B+ Organic video views", as listed on their site, October 2026.
• Great Influence, Ash Jones. "The Company Behind The UK's Most Influential Founders And Entrepreneurs." Profile management for high-profile founders: strategy, content production across platforms, community management and reporting. It names Gary Neville, Sacha Lord and John Amaechi as clients, as listed on their site, October 2026.
• Klowt, Amelia Sordell. "The Founder Brand Company." One-to-one strategy sessions with Amelia Sordell, team training and group workshops for founders, for businesses doing £250K+. It attributes "over £20 million" of inbound revenue to the brands it helped build, as listed on their site, October 2026.
• Kurogo, London. "Build An Authoritative Personal Brand That Grows Your Business." Positioning, profile management, PR, ghostwriting, content, podcast bookings, consulting and funnel building. It lists "200M+ Views" and "400+ Leaders", as listed on their site, October 2026.
• Ohh My Brand, Ilford. "We take you from unknown? to known!" The Complete Journey, a strategy with a 9 to 12 month roadmap, a LinkedIn profile revamp and website direction, at $900 one-time, plus standalone services. It lists "100+ Brands Amplified", as listed on their site, October 2026.
• Tom Sharman (this site). Content strategist and fractional Head of Content for creators, founders and founder-led businesses. He took Sam Stoffel from 0 to 500,000 followers in 10 months. The Power hour session is £600.

How do they compare?

What does each one suit?

• Clash Creation suits a founder who wants content, press, search and speaking run as one programme over 6 to 12 months.
• Great Influence suits a founder who already has a public profile and wants it managed across platforms.
• Klowt suits a founder or leadership team who wants to learn to run a LinkedIn-led brand, one to one or in a workshop.
• Kurogo suits a founder or executive who wants the whole thing done for them, from ghostwriting to PR and podcast bookings.
• Ohh My Brand suits someone who wants a one-time plan with a published price, and to run it themselves.
• Tom Sharman suits a founder who wants short form video, the formats and the team behind it: one hour for £600, three months alongside them, or a senior seat in the business.

How do you choose a personal brand strategist?

• Decide which platform leads. Some lead with LinkedIn posts, some with video, some with press and stages.
• Decide how much you want done for you: a session, a programme or a team that runs it.
• Look for proof with a before, an after and a date. A client's follower count shows who they worked with. It does not show what changed.
• Ask how they measure it. Tom ranks each piece by emails collected, then followers gained, then views.
• Ask what they need from you each week, and who does the work between calls.
• Ask for the price. Of the six on this list, two publish one.

Where does Tom fit?

Tom builds founder brands on short form video, with LinkedIn taking the formats that already won. The method is free in the founder's personal brand: start from the last 30 posts, agree one line on who the founder is, who they are for and who they are against, then write seven or eight messages the founder says every day on a selfie video.

Sam Stoffel, a founder who sold his first business in 2024, had about 1,500 followers after seven months of posting. Tom rebuilt the team, gave the brand a mission and an enemy, and built a system that posted three times a day. It went from 0 to 500,000 followers in 10 months.

At Heath Media, Ben Heath wanted to spend little of his own time on day to day operations. Tom moved the three people he inherited into new roles before making one new hire, the team grew to 14, and the Skool community he launched became the number one trending money community on Skool.

He relaunched Secret Leaders, a founder interview podcast, as a video-first show. It reached number 2 in the UK Business podcast charts, behind The Diary of a CEO, and he closed Wise, Vanta, Hewlett Packard and Dubai Tourism as sponsors.

His view on where agencies go wrong with founders is its own lesson: Agencies over-index on the founder's journey. There are three ways to work with him:

• Power hour session, £600. 60 minute video call. The fundamentals, applied to you. What to make, for whom and in which format.
• The three month sprint, by application (2 spots left). 6 fortnightly 60 minute calls. A seat in your team. The 3 month plan. Fortnightly accountability.
• Fractional Head of Content, £3,000 to £7,500 a month, 6 month minimum, then monthly (1 spot left). Fractional head of content, or fractional COO, for creator and founder-led businesses. I run your content function end to end. Strategy, cadence, team, hiring, tooling and reporting. A senior seat in the business for the cost of a fraction of a full time hire. Worldwide and remote.
