For the ones who build what others said couldn’t be built.

Outliers is influence infrastructure for the people shaping what comes next.

We amplify your voice.

Outliers turns your experience and thoughts into a voice, and your voice into infrastructure: positioning, narrative and organic reach that carries your ideas and messaging to millions.

Not to be famous. To be found.

The verticals we work with

VC01
VC GPs

General Partners with a clear thesis, a track record worth telling and a fund to build a brand around.

Founders02
Unicorn Founders & Exited Founders

Founders who have built category-defining companies, or exited and started again, with hard-won lessons to share.

Family Offices03
Family Offices

Principals behind multi-generational capital, investing with conviction, but rarely heard in public.

For GPs. For unicorn founders. For exited founders. For family office principals. For the ones who were meant to be heard.

Attention follows people, not brands.

Why it matters
People trust people, not logos.

A company post gets scrolled past; a founder’s post gets read, saved and forwarded. Every euro spent building the person behind the brand buys attention that no ad account can rent.

Why it matters
Your spearhead is your cheapest distribution channel.

A leader with a real audience opens doors to investors, talent and customers before sales ever reaches out, and that pipeline compounds instead of stopping the day you pause the budget.

Why it matters
Silence is a position too.

If your leaders do not define the narrative in your category, competitors will, and you will spend years reacting to someone else’s framing instead of setting the standard everyone else is measured against.

What the work does. In their words.

  • “I have to say, the impact, momentum and results coming out of our collaboration has totally changed my mind on what personal branding can do for a founder and a company.”
    Unicorn founder, B2B SoftwareCopenhagen
  • “We’ve worked with another agency previously. No significant results. Then we decided to give Maiken a shot and it’s a different world. We’ve seen massive organic brand recognition, dealflow, new families joining our fund, coming inbound from LinkedIn.”
    Founder, Multi-Family Office
  • “We’re two quarters into our collab and the organic growth and traction we’ve seen is unmatched.”
    Founder, B2B SoftwareSeries B, Berlin
  • “I had a lot of concerns about branding myself publicly as a founder, but the results outpaced my doubts. Today I can’t justify not doing it.”
    Co-founder & CEOFintech startup, Copenhagen
  • “We’ve had multiple viral posts on LinkedIn, massive organic dealflow and some LPs coming through this channel too. Well worth it.”

Our process

  1. Step 01

    Interview

    Sessions with you diving into your background, personality and thought process, until your real positions are on the table, including the ones you have never said out loud previously.

  2. Step 02

    Positioning, storytelling, distribution strategy

    One narrative, the arguments you are willing to defend, and a map of where each of them lands: feed, stage, press, boardroom.

  3. Step 03

    Launch

    We go live with weekly quality content written by your senior editor and approved by you.

  4. Step 04

    Scale

    We optimize according to the response, trends, data and algorithm to ensure ambitious monthly growth.

3 Strategic Building Blocks

For best-in-class results.

01

Positioning & Storytelling

Crafting a compelling storyline aligned with the company and the executive, as well as defining the content directions and themes.

02

Content Planning & Ghostwriting

Production of quality content on a weekly basis.

03

Distribution & Community Building

Community building, and optimizing according to data and algorithms for best-in-class organic performance.

Engagements start at one voice and scale to a whole leadership team.

Most clients begin with a single founder or partner on a 6 month engagement. We take a small number of accounts at a time, and we say no to close competitors in the same category.

One principal, or a whole leadership team

Quarterly engagements

Brand compounds, so we do not take new clients in for less than 3 months

One client per category
