The Client

A Leading Retail Giant — Chennai

One of Chennai's most recognised retail brands — a company with deep roots in the city's retail landscape and a large workforce. Despite their strong offline presence and brand recognition, their LinkedIn Company Page was effectively dormant with minimal followers and no strategic content presence.

The engagement was facilitated through their Head of HR — a professional whose personal LinkedIn profile and startup branding we had previously handled, and who trusted us to bring the same quality to the company's employer brand.

How The Relationship Began

Trust built before the brief.

This engagement didn't start with a pitch deck or a cold outreach. It started with a personal relationship built on delivered work.

1
Personal LinkedIn Optimisation
We worked with the Head of HR on his personal LinkedIn profile — helping him build his professional presence and positioning.
2
Startup Branding & Logo
We designed the logo and LinkedIn presence for his personal startup venture — delivering quality that built deep trust.
3
Company Mandate
Based on that trust, he brought us into the organisation to handle their employer branding on LinkedIn — a direct referral based on proven results.
The Challenge

A household name. An invisible employer brand.

The company was well known to consumers in Chennai — but their LinkedIn presence told a different story. With just 300 followers and no consistent content strategy, they were invisible to the talent pool they needed to attract: retail managers, operations professionals, and young graduates looking for career opportunities.

The goal was clear — build an employer brand that made the company visible, attractive, and credible to job seekers and industry professionals on LinkedIn.

Our Approach

Employer branding that attracts talent.

We focused specifically on employer branding content — positioning the company as a great place to work, not just a place to shop. Content was designed to resonate with retail professionals and job seekers.

LinkedIn Page Optimisation
Full rebuild of the Company Page — banner, about section, specialities, and visual identity aligned to employer brand positioning.
💼
Employer Brand Content
Content focused on retail career tips, workplace culture, industry insights, and growth opportunities within the organisation.
🎯
Talent-Focused Targeting
Every post was crafted to reach retail professionals, job seekers, and industry talent — not just consumers or general audiences.
📈
Search Visibility Strategy
Optimised page and content for LinkedIn search — resulting in 12,000+ weekly profile searches within the engagement period.
