Want to see something really scary? Visit a dead LinkedIn page with boring posts, moribund engagement, and hackneyed hot takes. Worse yet, try to make time in your schedule to actually make your online presence worthwhile. Only then will you know true horror.

Your socials don’t have to be graveyards. We work as a social media shadow via Phantonym, a service that curates ideas and drives social engagement for senior executives.

Phantonym showcases personal and team successes and innovations through social channels, sharing ideas about the current and future state of their industries, and celebrating the accomplishments of colleagues.

With tongue firmly in cheek, we named it Phantonym to give a dreary task a shot of theatrical flair. But we do more than ghostwrite, echo thoughts, or manage channels; we systematically increase visibility among peers by:

  • Establishing what you want to say and why

  • Aggregating and refining your ideas

  • Creating and posting shares and stories in your voice, in your accounts

  • Shaping your social presence with minimal hassle and approval-ready posts

  • Growing followers, reactions, impressions, and visibility

Phantonym

LinkedIn personal profiles greatly outperform company pages in almost every metric. Personal accounts often get 3x more impressions and 5x more engagement on LinkedIn, and senior leaders can drive up to 90% of brand impressions. People want to connect with each other, not a logo.

  • So many are turning to AI to keep up with the content mill, which flattens the impact and effect of their messaging. People don’t want content, they want stories, and AI is an assistant, not a storyteller. People want to see the human behind the idea, and Antonym makes that happen.

  • And the quandary. Making time in a busy schedule to manage regular social posts can verge on the impossible, so they invariably get pushed. We approach socials with an editorial mindset. The spoken word can cover a lot of ground, so we schedule short, periodic 1:1 meetings and immediately translate your ideas into posts.


  • We’re all drowning in content, all the time, everywhere, so we keep the value of your posts high. We lead with prompts about projects you’re working on, announcements, team recognition, behind-the-scenes insights, and thoughtful takes on big ideas and trends that vault over the obvious.

  • We configure stories differently per medium, shifting gears tonally and with nuance for LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok, and internal communication. We model your professional voice on previous posts, then work together to evolve your messaging to reach new audiences.

  • Antonym’s submissions have won awards from Communication Arts, Fast Company, The Webby Awards, and countless other award bodies. We shepherd the entire process, from information gathering to narrative storytelling to submission strategy.
