Case Study
How I Grew Plaid’s LinkedIn Audience by 60% Using Sprout Social
The Problem: Great Product, Lost in Translation
Plaid is trusted by 12,000+ financial institutions and powers 8,000+ digital tools, but most people still thought of it as “that app that links your bank.” That wasn’t the full story. Not even close.
We had complex value to communicate. Developers needed use cases. Banks needed proof. Consumers needed reassurance.
And I had to make it all make sense through one social channel, with one brain, one pair of hands: mine.
The Plan: Turn LinkedIn Into a Content Powerhouse
I didn’t just want to post—I wanted to educate, inspire, and build trust.
So I used Sprout Social as my engine room:
  • Built a smart content calendar with Publishing
  • Uncovered trends and sentiment with Listening
  • Tracked top-performers using Tagging
  • Pulled real-time insights with Reporting
    And every week, I made decisions fueled by data, not guesswork.
Then came the content:
Campaigns like #PoweredByPlaid
Actionable tips for fintech professionals
Actionable tips for fintech professionals
Bite-sized education on open banking
Bite-sized education on open banking
Case studies and product launches
Case studies and product launches
I shaped every post to meet someone’s need—whether they were a developer in Australia or a VP at Chase.
The Impact: From Visibility to Velocity
+60% Follower Growth in 12 Months
From ~70K to 131K+ followers—organically. No gimmicks, just strategy.
+73% Engagement Rate per Impression
That means more real interaction, not just passive scrolling.
20+ Hours Saved Monthly
Thanks to Sprout’s automation and insights, I stopped wasting time on guesswork and repetitive tasks.
How I Revamped Medallia’s Social Media Strategy and Boosted Engagement by 48.6% with Employee Advocacy
The Challenge: A Quiet Giant
Medallia had powerful tech AI and machine learning that tracked customer signals from surveys to social media. But the social content? It wasn’t resonating. It didn’t feel personal. It wasn’t tailored to all the verticals they served.
Worse, they had no dedicated social media manager—just a lean content team.
My Strategy: People Power + Platform Precision
Instead of pushing more content, I focused on activating employees. After all, people trust people more than logos.
So I led the relaunch of Medallia’s employee advocacy program using Sprout Social.
Here's what I changed:
1
Curated localized, high-impact content employees actually wanted to share
2
Used Sprout's Advocacy tool to streamline delivery
3
Gamified sharing with a leaderboard to boost participation
4
Switched from link-heavy posts to video-first, visual storytelling
The Results: Major Wins, Fast
45% increase in employee adoption — just 2 weeks post-relaunch
💰 $136K in earned media value in 90 days
📈 48.6% YoY jump in engagements
🎥 174% surge in video views on LinkedIn
📊 Cut waste: reduced daily post volume, doubled impact
All of this from a system—not more headcount.
The Cube Case Study
The Challenge
The Cube in Birmingham is home to a vibrant mix of restaurants and bars, a hotel, a bowling alley, apartments and premium office space, and the UK’s largest automated car park.
The project aimed to promote the landmark’s venues, parking facilities, and vacant units, ultimately driving increased footfall and interest among businesses and the general public.
The Solution
To elevate The Cube’s digital presence and connect with Birmingham’s business community, our marketing team led a comprehensive strategy across organic and paid channels on Facebook, X, LinkedIn, and Instagram. We also managed influencer marketing, content creation, events, email marketing, and launched a new website.
One standout festive campaign invited visitors to find hidden presents around The Cube, each with a QR code linking to exclusive vouchers for on-site venues.
The campaign was promoted via video, social media, email, and paid ads-driving foot traffic, website visits, and mailing list growth.
The Results
After just three months of working together, we saw great growth across all social media platforms and our mailing list, as well as increased footfall and interest among the Birmingham community.
81
On X, we achieved 400 new followers, with impressions soaring by a staggering 368% and engagement escalating by 811%.
74
On Facebook, we saw an increase of 74% in followers, a 220% rise in reach, and a climb in engagement of 743%.
100
On Instagram, we achieved a 195% growth in followers, a 576% rise in post-reach, and a 267% rise in engagement.
