Picture this: You're scrolling LinkedIn. Another "thrilled to announce" post. Another carousel about leadership lessons from your morning coffee. Another work anniversary with the same stock photo cake emoji.

Then you see a meme.

That's what I did. And people lost their minds.

I was promoting Memelord—a tool that turns anyone into a meme-making machine. No Photoshop degree required. Just templates, text, and the ability to make your brand feel like it has a pulse.

Think of it as the antidote to boring brand content. The kind of stuff that gets three pity likes from Karen in accounting.

Instagram's already a meme factory. Twitter moves too fast to care. But LinkedIn? That's where the money lives. CMOs scrolling between meetings. Brand managers tired of their engagement looking like a morgue. People with actual budgets and the authority to spend them.

I went hunting where others wouldn't.

I broke LinkedIn's unspoken social contract. No humble brags. No inspiration porn. Just a simple message: Your brand should be memeing, and here's why you're scared to do it.

Most companies avoid memes like they're radioactive. They're terrified of looking "unprofessional". Meanwhile, Netflix is dunking on competitors with Spongebob memes and Wendy's is roasting people on Twitter for sport.

I showed them it's embarrassingly simple:

Log in to Memelord

Pick a trending template

Slap your caption on it

Hit post

Watch your engagement actually do something

I wrote it like a text message, not a press release. No corporate jargon. No "synergizing" or "leveraging." Just: "Here's the problem. Here's why you're afraid of it. Here's how ridiculously easy the solution is."

It felt like advice from someone who gets it, not a pitch from someone who wants your money.

LinkedIn's drowning in sameness. Everyone sounds like everyone. A post about memes—about actually having fun with marketing—cut through the noise because it dared to be different.

Stop writing like a robot. Meet people where they actually are. Make your thing sound so simple they'd feel stupid not trying it.

That's the whole game.

Added vivid scene-setting in the opening

Injected more personality and humor ("Karen in accounting," "inspiration porn")

Created stronger contrasts (LinkedIn sameness vs. standing out)

Used shorter, punchier sentences for rhythm

Made the stakes more emotional ("engagement looking like a morgue")

Ended with a more memorable, punchy takeaway
