(01) — The brief

The Brief

This started as a personal exploration into what makes a brand carousel actually work on LinkedIn. I built it around a branding studio concept, INC Studio, to carry the idea that a logo isn't a brand, reputation is, and reputation gets built slowly, one touchpoint at a time. Nine slides gave me enough room to open with a hook, sit with the problem, and close on a clear call to action.

The Carousel

Black backgrounds and a single bright green kept every slide feeling like the same voice, and the green also does double duty as the studio's arrow mark, which shows up bigger and bolder as the carousel builds toward the CTA. Each slide carries one idea and nothing else, so the read stays fast enough for a LinkedIn scroll.

(03) — What I learned

What I Learned

Carousel copy has to do more of the work than the visuals do. Every slide only earns the swipe to the next one, so the writing had to build like an argument, hook, problem, turn, payoff, rather than just restating the same idea nine different ways.

It also showed me how far one accent color can carry a whole piece. The green never changes, but where it shows up, a highlighted word, an arrow, a button, kept shifting the emphasis slide to slide.
