Writing and connecting on LinkedIn turned into brand ambassadorships, affiliate partnerships, and community programmes. Here is the role in each, and what was actually done.

Brand partnerships

3

Products I use myself, introduced on my own channels. Any post with an affiliate relationship says so up front.

Favikon · Korea's only LinkedIn Ambassador

Selected by Favikon, the creator analytics platform, as its only LinkedIn Ambassador in Korea. I use Favikon to analyse my own channel data and bring the results into talks and content.

  • Ranked #186 on Favikon's LinkedIn leaderboard for Korean creators (October 2026)
  • Used Favikon data to visualise LinkedIn results at the launch session of the CEO community 'Founders' (October 2025, 75 attendees)

SnapDeck · Ambassador

Invited as an ambassador for SnapDeck, the AI presentation tool that reached #1 Product of the Week on Product Hunt. I use it end to end, from prompt to structure, generation, and editing, and share the slides exactly as they come out.

  • First output: a six-slide intro deck made in SnapDeck, plus an ambassador announcement post
  • Documenting real-world slide work through December 2026
Affiliate partner2026.09 – present

Speak · Speak Partners

A member of Speak Partners, the official affiliate programme of the English speaking app Speak. I introduce Speak from my own use, and every post states the affiliate relationship at the top.

  • Review: why a Korea-educated professional at a global company settled on Speak for English conversation

GET100 LinkedIn Guild · Guild leader

I lead the LinkedIn Guild in the GET100 community. Members bring the profiles and posts they wrote, and we review them together. Season 1 met seven times from July to September, once in person in Seolleung, Seoul.

  • Season 1 (Jul–Sep 2026): 7 sessions, 1 in person
  • Season 2 (from Nov 2026): 6 sessions, from orientation and profile feedback through three writing rounds to an in-person results meetup
  • A coffee chat booked as a guild assignment turned into a real collaboration for a member

“Thanks to someone I met through the guild leader, I bought a server and set up an AI agent.”
