Glass of Berries
Glass of Berries · Creative management & strategy partner for leaders

People buy into companies‸ people.

We turn leaders into names people buy into, with organic content that brings in sales, investors and talent. You bring the thinking and approve every word; once it’s running, that’s about 1–2 hours on a couple days a month [sometimes only once]. Built to put your name in the right rooms, not in everyone’s feed.

Start with a Voice Read: send your last 3 posts to hi@glassofberries.com, and we’ll return a one-page read on what they say you’re known for and where your voice gets lost. Pro bono, no pitch.

Belief

Representing Brilliance

Glass of Berries started with this one line. Incredible people, deep experts and leaders whose work is hard to explain often struggle the most to be understood. We design the representation they deserve.

  1. Success and fame have nothing in common.
  2. People still trust people.
  3. The goal isn’t reach. It’s being known by the right people.
What we build

Three things in every piece

01

Positioning

Who you are, where you fit, and how to bring the best out of you. The right placement creates leverage.

02

Reputation

Your image is already in motion. We honor it with precision, depth, and obsession.

03

Alignment

Likes don’t disrupt a market. Being memorable for who you are does.

Proof

From a weekend per episode to a hands-off weekly show

Michael Hunter is a senior engineer turned leadership coach: founder of Uncommon Teams, author of The Resilient Tech Leader, and host of the Uncommon Leadership podcast, after decades in software at Microsoft, Tableau and Salesforce. For about two years, Glass of Berries ran his show end to end and built the brand system around it.

“My book + prospecting + podcast production + social + newsletter is too much. I want to focus on creating primary content and let others convert that into everything else.”

“If you want someone who is going to take your podcast recording, your marketing collateral, and run it through the same template every single time, then maybe just get AI. But if you want a team who will take that and start with what you’re thinking and then help you think bigger, broader, more everything … then Glass of Berries is the team for you.”

How we work

Built around your time

Most of the work happens without you. We ask for your thinking, not your hours.

  1. OnboardingA short form and interview: your goals, your values, where you need change, and the references you love.
  2. Input, your wayText and voice notes whenever ideas come. Calls can be as short as 20–30 minutes, or split: you for half an hour, then your team for the next.
  3. Drafts in 7 daysWritten in your voice, keeping the language your industry expects, with up to two rounds of edits.
  4. You approve, then it shipsNothing goes out without sign-off from you or the lead you name.
  5. We keep improving itWe learn from your edits and your results, and the work gets sharper every month.

FAQ

What leaders ask us first

Handing over your voice is a real decision. These are the questions we hear most, answered plainly.

Do you need my LinkedIn login?

No. We never take over your account. Posts go out through standard scheduling tools, and only after your sign-off. Your account stays yours.

Who approves what goes out?

You do, or the person you name: usually your marketing or creative lead, who becomes our day-to-day point of contact. Nothing is published until one of you signs off.

Will it sound like me, or like everyone else’s posts?

Like you. Our work is closer to craft than to templates: we interview you, keep a guide to how you think and speak, and learn from every edit you make. Some pieces get smoothed out so they’re easier to read, but the point is to represent you, not to push you into the same feed as everyone else.

If you find yourself rewriting the ideas rather than the odd word, we’ve got it wrong, and we want to hear it.

Do you use AI?

AI helps us brainstorm and draft the structure. Every line is shaped and approved by a person.

Who replies to comments and messages?

You do. We write; you shake hands. The replies and DMs stay yours, because that’s where the relationships are. We help you build the community around you: who’s worth talking to, and which conversations deserve your time.

How many clients do you work with at once?

A small number, on purpose. We don’t sell quantity-based, mass-produced content, so hundreds of accounts were never the plan.

How much of my time does it take?

Once it’s running, about 1–2 hours on a couple days a month [sometimes only once]. That’s Michael’s experience above. Early on it takes a little more, while we learn how you think.

What results should I expect, and how do you measure them?

What matters to the business, not vanity numbers: whether the right people (buyers, investors, hires and peers) are finding you, the conversations and invitations that follow, speaking slots, and what the data shows each month. We agree the measures with you during onboarding.

We don’t promise virality, and we don’t guarantee leads.

How long before it works?

Six months is what it takes to build this properly, give it time to show results, and find out whether we’re aligned on what you expect. That’s why it’s our minimum term. The first month is mostly us learning you.

Why don’t you charge less?

Because the work isn’t volume, and the setup takes real time on our side too. If the budget doesn’t fit, we’d rather change the structure than the quality, for example, a system your own people can run.

Can our in-house team be involved?

Yes. We can work alongside your marketing team, and they’re welcome in the ideation sessions. If you’d rather own it in-house from the start, that’s what the Voice System is for.

Do I get the voice guide?

Everything you publish is yours. The files behind it (the voice guide, interview notes, briefs, prompts and drafts you didn’t approve) stay with us; they’re how we do the work. If you want to own the whole setup, that’s the Voice System: we build it for your team and hand it over.

Can I see proof before paying?

Yes. Start with this page. Then send us your last 3 posts, and we’ll return a one-page read on what they say you’re known for and where your voice gets lost. Pro bono, no pitch. You get to judge how well we read you before anyone writes a word as you.
