In this episode of The Marketing Clubhouse, we sit down with Lara Acosta - LinkedIn-first personal brand strategist and one of the platform’s fastest-growing creators.
Lara went from unknown student to industry authority by treating content like a long-term asset, not a side hustle.
We talk about the difference between visibility and memorability, why personal branding in 2025 is less about influence and more about leverage, and how to build something sustainable without pretending to be someone you’re not.
This conversation is equal parts mindset and mechanics - from why most people start for the wrong reasons to what “day one” actually looks like depending on where you are in your career.
What we cover in this episode

How to decide what parts of your story to share - and what to keep private
You should listen if… You’ve thought about building a personal brand but feel behind. You’re visible but not memorable. Or you secretly know your story could open doors, but you’re still hiding behind a logo.
Whether you’re a student, mid-career marketer, or senior leader who’s never posted, this episode breaks down how to start strategically - without becoming an influencer caricature.
