What this service is for

What can a LinkedIn marketing specialist help you build?

A LinkedIn marketing specialist helps you turn company and staff profiles into discoverable assets, publish consistent content that builds trust, and run targeted campaigns that generate qualified B2B leads.

Generate qualified B2B leads

Target decision-makers with LinkedIn Lead Gen forms or landing-page funnels to capture and qualify inbound interest.

Build company and thought leadership

Publish a regular content program and optimise executive profiles so your team speaks consistently to your market.

Support sales with targeted outreach

Combine profile optimisations with connection and messaging sequences to warm prospects before sales contact.

How Unicorn Factory works

A simple way to find the right freelancer.

Create one project brief, compare applications from relevant freelancers, and choose who you would like to meet.

Step 01

Tell us what you need.

Use the guided brief to explain the outcome, timing, budget, and context. You do not need to prepare a technical specification.

Create your project brief

Freelancers in our network

Example specialists from our network

Below are real profiles from the Unicorn Factory network. If one looks like a fit, create a short brief — relevant freelancers will apply and you review applicants before we make warm introductions.

Tell us about your project

Ideas for your brief

Practical LinkedIn projects you can hire for

Three common engagements to get value quickly — each scope is illustrative and should be agreed with the freelancer.

01

Profile and company page refresh

Optimise one or more executive LinkedIn profiles and your company page so visitors understand your offer and next steps.

  • Rewritten executive profile headline, summary and experience optimised for target keywords
  • Updated company page About section and banner copy / image brief
  • One short publishing plan (4–8 post ideas) and two ready-to-post drafts
  • Connection and outreach message templates for the executive(s)
02

Monthly content and community management

A content cadence and active engagement plan to grow reach, conversations and inbound interest.

  • Monthly content calendar with 8–12 posts and post copy tailored for LinkedIn
  • Creation of images or repurposed content assets for posts
  • Daily or weekly community engagement (commenting and outreach) as agreed
  • Monthly performance summary with simple recommendations
03

LinkedIn lead-generation campaign + tracking

Design and run a targeted campaign to capture qualified leads, and connect campaign data to your CRM.

  • Campaign strategy and audience targeting plan (including company size, job titles, sectors)
  • Ad creative and A/B test plan (single image, carousel or document ads) and copy variants
  • Lead capture setup — LinkedIn Lead Gen Forms or a campaign landing page plus basic tracking
  • Initial optimisation recommendations and instructions to integrate leads with your CRM (e.g., HubSpot, MailerLite) or CSV handover

Pricing guidance

How much does LinkedIn marketing cost?

Indicative NZD price ranges to help you budget — final scope, GST and platform/ad spend are agreed directly with the freelancer.

Profile & company page refresh

One-off optimisation of executive profile(s) and company page with a short content plan. Price varies with number of profiles and level of rewrite required.

NZ$800–NZ$2,500

Monthly content & community management

Ongoing content creation, posting and basic engagement. Price depends on posting frequency, asset production and reporting needs.

NZ$1,200–NZ$4,500 / month

Lead-generation campaign setup

Campaign strategy, creative, lead-capture setup and initial optimisation. Higher end reflects complex targeting, creative work or CRM integrations.

NZ$2,000–NZ$10,000 (plus ad spend)

What affects the price

  • Number of profiles, posts and monthly posting frequency
  • Complexity of audience targeting and CRM or tracking integrations
  • Level of creative production (video, design, long-form content)
  • Required campaign ad spend and length of optimisation period

Estimates are indicative, may exclude GST and ongoing platform or ad fees. Final scope and freelancer rates are agreed directly with the freelancer — request a tailored quote for fixed-price proposals.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions before you hire.

Answers to the questions clients commonly ask before starting a brief.

Still deciding what you need?

Start with the outcome and the context you already have. A polished specification is not required.

How long before I see results?

Timing depends on the work: a profile refresh can be completed in days; content and community growth typically build over several months; paid campaigns can generate leads within days but require optimisation over a few weeks. Discuss timelines with the freelancer when you brief the project.

How do I choose the right freelancer?

Look for NZ-relevant experience, samples of LinkedIn work (profiles, posts, campaign screenshots), clear reporting examples, and a proposed approach for your brief. Use the Unicorn Factory brief to compare applicants and ask for a short discovery chat.

Do freelancers manage ad spend and billing?

Freelancers typically create and run campaigns in your LinkedIn Ads account or via a client billing arrangement; ad spend and platform charges are paid separately and are not included in a freelancer's fee unless clearly agreed.

Will my LinkedIn profile or page be shared publicly?

Any profile or page changes are made in your account and are visible on LinkedIn as normal. Confirm content ownership and posting permissions with the freelancer before work begins.

What is the Unicorn Factory process?

You create a project brief, relevant freelancers apply, you review applications, and Unicorn Factory makes warm introductions so you can run interviews and agree terms directly with the chosen freelancer.
