Where do these cards come from? We computed every figure on this page from public posts with MagicPost's LinkedIn analytics: median engagement per theme, share of feed, premiums and engagement rates, across 597 LinkedIn growth creators and 22,631 of their posts. It works on your profile too, including a side-by-side with anyone on this list.

Which LinkedIn growth creators just missed the top 20?

Five names sit right behind the cut, all within 65 likes of number twenty:

Céline Flores Willers, at #22, is the biggest account of the five at 228k followers and makes it on exactly 10 LinkedIn growth posts, which earn 22% less than her overall median. She is #19 in our Germany ranking.

Chisom Nwankire (#21) earns 24% more on the theme, the only large premium of the five. Molly Stovold (#24) and Fatima Khan (#23) post the most on it, 44 and 43 posts. Jake Ward (#25) is #2 on SEO. Three of the five are based in the United Kingdom.

Which LinkedIn growth creators have the highest engagement rate?

Raw likes flatter the largest followings, so divide by reach: engagement rate on LinkedIn growth posts, median likes divided by followers (20k followers and over).

Jessica Turley (#9) leads, ahead of Jasmine Gathoga (#7), and four of the five sit in this top 20. The fifth, Joyeeta Sinha, ranks outside the top 25 on 319 median likes. Two of the five are based in India, and all five hold under 120k followers.

One smaller account falls under the 20k floor: Trisha Paul (#10), at 4.42%. Above 100k followers, the best rate in this top 20 is Blossom Affia's 1.41%. For how this theme compares with other subjects, see our study of LinkedIn engagement rate by topic.

Which LinkedIn growth creators get the most total likes?

One more cut counts the total likes on LinkedIn growth posts over 12 months, where frequent posters gain ground:

Jasmin Alić leads with 141,173 likes on 69 posts, nearly twice Lara Acosta's total on 43. David Alto comes third on 18 posts without making the top 25: an average above 3,500 likes per post with a median under 439 means a few very large posts carry his total.

Daniela Luque Díaz has the most posts in the table, 88, and is #3 on education. Marina Panova (55 posts) is #3 on lead generation; our profile of Marina Panova has her wider numbers. Four of the eight are in this top 20.

Which LinkedIn growth creator gets the most comments per post?

This cut divides comments by likes. The record in our LinkedIn growth pool belongs to Martin Arosa, chief executive of ZipGenial, which helps professionals sell on LinkedIn, from Spain: 161 median comments against 104 median likes, more comments than likes.

Sacheen Sierro, a marketing strategist from Switzerland (154 median comments against 125 likes), and Natalie Tran, a career and LinkedIn strategist from Australia (119 against 103), complete the podium, counting creators with 100 median likes or more.

None of the three is in the top 25; Martin Arosa is #20 in our Spain ranking. Inside this top 20, Blossom Affia (#2) comes nearest, at about eight comments for every ten likes. The typical top-20 creator gets about one comment for every three likes.

Do the top LinkedIn growth creators post about LinkedIn growth full time?

Rarely. Of the 597 creators who post on LinkedIn growth consistently, only 12 give it at least half their feed, and one of them is in this top 20: Trisha Paul, at 51%. Next come Jasmin Alić (39%) and Arslan Iqbal (29%).

At the other end, Jalonni Weaver, Ruben Hassid and Chris Donnelly (2% each) and Rachel Mitchell (3%) touch the theme only now and then, and still rank on it.

Focus does not predict the premium. Jessica Turley gives the theme 10% of her feed and earns 117% more on it; Jalonni Weaver gives it 2% and earns 45% less; Trisha Paul gives it half and breaks even.

Most of the list teaches the subject. Personal brand strategists and ghostwriters: Trisha Paul, Shweta Kukreja, Saijal Taparia, Arslan Iqbal, Sherry Shinde, Prakriti Sharma. Agency founders: Blossom Affia, Hala Taha. Educators, strategists and community builders: Jasmin Alić, Lara Acosta, Jalonni Weaver, Jasmine Gathoga, Jessica Turley, Will McTighe, Danielle Mimoni.

The rest come from elsewhere and touch the theme now and then: Rachel Mitchell, an executive producer; Ruben Hassid and Charlie Hills, who post on AI; Tobi Oluwole, an investor; Chris Donnelly, a founder.

Seven of the twenty best posts report the writer's own result:

• An award: Jasmin Alić

• Follower counts: Tobi Oluwole, Charlie Hills, Danielle Mimoni

• A year of growth told in hardware: Blossom Affia

• Brand-deal income: Jalonni Weaver

• A speaking invitation: Jasmine Gathoga

Only Lara Acosta's opens on a bad number.

Five of the twenty are based in the United Kingdom, five in India and four in the United States, then one each in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Nigeria, Kenya, Israel, Canada and Pakistan. Country by country rankings: the United Kingdom, India, the United States, Canada, Pakistan.

For the same people ranked within their own countries, see our country series.

And if showing up in these creators' comment sections is part of your plan, an engagement feed keeps it to a five-minute daily habit.

How does LinkedIn growth compare with personal branding, social media and content marketing?

Each of our theme rankings counts only the posts tagged with its own theme, so the pools differ. LinkedIn growth sits between its neighbours on pool size, and its typical post sits close to social media's and content marketing's:

Six creators of this top 20 also rank on personal branding, led by Blossom Affia (#3 there), Jasmin Alić (#5) and Lara Acosta (#6). Three rank on social media, where Jasmin Alić is #1, and five on content marketing, led by Lara Acosta (#5).

Personal branding pays five of those six more. Blossom Affia's median is 2,605 likes on personal branding posts against 1,656 on LinkedIn growth; Jasmin Alić's is 2,308 against 2,004; Lara Acosta's 2,149 against 1,608. Rachel Mitchell is the exception, a little lower on personal branding.

These rankings show who gets read on the subject. Growing your own profile is a separate job, and it is the job MagicPost is built for: writing, scheduling and measuring your LinkedIn posts. For the method without the tool, see our guide to getting more followers on LinkedIn.

How we ranked the top LinkedIn growth creators

All of this is MagicPost's own research. We went through 22,631 LinkedIn growth posts from the last 12 months and ranked 597 creators by median likes on their LinkedIn growth posts.

Only creators with at least one post in the last 60 days are ranked. The method:

• Floors: at least 5,000 followers and 10 LinkedIn growth posts in the window; deleted posts excluded.

• Median rather than average: no single viral post can buy a place.

• LinkedIn growth posts only: each post gets a theme from our own classification, and only those posts count.

• LinkedIn growth posts analyzed: the posts our dataset holds per creator, sometimes fewer than they published.

• Per creator: share of feed, premium over their own median, engagement rate and comment ratio.

Twelve of the top-20 medians rest on 20 LinkedIn growth posts or fewer, two of them on exactly 10. Rankings refresh as the data does. No placement here was sponsored; every rank comes straight from the median.

Study them, then study yourself. With MagicPost you can analyze any LinkedIn growth creator the way we just did (median engagement by theme, share of feed, premiums, engagement rate) and benchmark your own profile against the pool. The data on this page is the product.
