How to Get Promoted by Building a Public Reputation

Episode 23 of Promotion Path with Fexingo. Lucas and Luna explore a counterintuitive promotion strategy: building a professional reputation outside your company. They break down why internal-only visibility limits your career ceiling, using the concrete example of a marketing manager at a mid-sized CPG company who got promoted after publishing three LinkedIn articles that caught her VP's attention. They discuss the two types of external reputation—generalist thought leadership and niche expertise—and why the latter works better for most people. Specific tactics include: writing one strong post per month, commenting thoughtfully on industry leaders' content, and joining niche professional communities. Lucas argues that external visibility signals to decision-makers that you bring fresh ideas and connections, while Luna pushes back on the time commitment. They agree that ten minutes a day is enough to start.
