    01The problem

    Reddit expertise, marketing-leader buyers

    RECHO helps brands earn trust on Reddit and in search. Jonny Waite knows the channel better than almost anyone, but the people who buy RECHO’s services are marketing leaders deciding where budget goes.

    The goal was to put Jonny’s expertise in front of those buyers on LinkedIn, consistently, without taking his team away from running the business.

    02The approach

    Five steps from expertise to sales conversations

    1. 01

      Strategy. Research what marketing leaders are deciding about Reddit and search, then choose the ideas and angles that connect Jonny’s expertise to those decisions.

    2. 02

      Content production. Influent writes and publishes the posts. RECHO checks facts and voice.

    3. 03

      Amplification. Boost posts that are already resonating with the right audience, and submit timely posts to LinkedIn News.

    4. 04

      Tracking. Check every engager against RECHO’s buyer criteria in Fluentcy. 491 distinct people matched.

    5. 05

      Activation. RECHO chooses who to contact, with follow-up tied to the post each person engaged with.

    “Influent brings the ideas and the strategy, then turns our expertise into the content. They think through which topics will matter to our buyers, how to present them and how to get them seen, including submitting posts to LinkedIn News. Our team spends less than two hours a month on the whole program.”
    Jonny Waite, Co-founder & CEO, RECHO

    Engagement, not customers.

    Direct message to Jonny from a buyer, name blurred: they have been following his posts about Reddit, started trying a few of his recommendations, now want to go all in on the channel, and ask if he has time to talk today at 2 or 3:30 ET.
    A buyer reached out after following Jonny’s posts and trying his recommendations.

    Other conversations followed the same pattern. A post for fractional CMOs led to a Lunch and Learn with 30 CMOs in March 2026. In April, the team reported two inbound leads by direct message the day after a practical Reddit playbook post. In July, RECHO reported that it was hiring someone who found the company through Jonny’s content.

    How these results were measured

    Revenue is reported by RECHO for the six months to September 28, 2026, and reflects deals the program influenced. Content and audience results are Fluentcy data for Jonny’s posts from October 2025 to September 28, 2026, and include organic and paid activity. The 491 relevant people are distinct individuals matched to RECHO’s buyer criteria, not leads or customers; per-post engagements count events, not distinct people. Team time covers the content program only; sales conversations are separate.
