Markets

Vigor & Sage needed one coherent brand voice across three Instagram accounts — Netherlands, France and a broader Europe account — serving Dutch, French and international EU audiences without the content feeling translated.

We built a shared content core with market-specific execution layers.

  • One master content calendar, localized per market
  • Tone-of-voice guide adapted for NL and FR nuance
  • Visual system consistent across all three accounts
  • Carousel-first format for written storytelling
  • Reels for product and behind-the-scenes content
  • Stories series minimum 5 slides per topic
  • 946 posts and 1,060 followers on the Europe account alone
  • 421 posts / 501 followers (NL) and 255 posts / 425 followers (France)
  • 1,986 combined followers and 1,622 combined posts across all three accounts
  • All three accounts cross-follow each other — one recognisable brand, not three disconnected pages

Engagements

Ax Lindholm, Founder Advisor & Venture Architect at InspireXchange and Masterschool, needed a LinkedIn presence that reflected the weight of his work — not another generic "thought leader" feed.

We repositioned his personal brand around a specific point of view: most startups don’t need funding, they need a reality check.

  • Content pillars built from his actual expertise, not generic advice
  • Consistent posting rhythm with strategic hooks
  • Profile and About section rewritten around one sharp thesis, not a resume

Three posts carried most of the weight — proof that a sharp point of view beats volume.

  • “Something big is quietly happening in venture capital” — 105K impressions, 492 engagements
  • “Jeff Bezos just did a little plot twist…” — 75K impressions, 74 engagements
  • “Old man post” on founder generations — 71K impressions, 261 engagements
  • 755,793 impressions over 365 days — up 3,757% year over year
  • 2,784 followers — up 132% year over year
  • 5,117 social engagements (3,191 reactions, 661 comments, 1,089 saves, 152 LinkedIn sends)
  • 850 link visits driven directly from posts
  • Audience: 30% companies of 2–10 people, 28% senior, 13% founders, concentrated in Rotterdam & The Hague
