Thought Leadership Services — Belight Media

Thought leadership content in every format that builds real authority

Three categories. Nine formats. All ghostwritten in your voice, verified by journalists, and structured for AI GEO citation.

OUR APPROACH

Journalism discipline. Earned media. AI GEO as standard.

Journalism-grade writing

Every piece is fact-checked and source-verified by a team that comes from newsrooms. Editorial discipline is not an extra — it is how we work on every project.

Earned, not bought

We pitch your articles and features to editors on editorial merit. Coverage earned through the strength of the writing carries weight that sponsored content never will.

AI GEO built in

Direct-answer openings, fact density every 150 to 200 words, and named expertise signals so AI tools cite your work in their answers. Built in as standard.

01

Content Creation

Ghostwritten in your voice. Published under your name.

Social Media Ghostwriting (LinkedIn and X)

LinkedIn ghostwriting

We ghostwrite your LinkedIn posts (3 to 5 per week), long-form articles (1 to 2 per month), and newsletter editions in your voice. LinkedIn Pulse is one of the top sources cited by large language models, making long-form articles especially valuable for AI GEO.

  • +Opinion and insight posts, 200 to 400 words
  • +Long-form articles, 800 to 1,500 words (GEO-optimized)
  • +LinkedIn newsletter editions
  • +Profile optimization

X (Twitter) ghostwriting

X rewards founders who say something specific and say it consistently. We capture your positions and publish daily posts and weekly threads that build a quotable presence in your sector's real-time conversation.

  • +Daily posts, 3 to 5 per week
  • +Weekly threads, 8 to 12-tweet arguments
  • +Editorial calendar and topic strategy

Newsletter Ghostwriting

A newsletter reaches exactly the inbox of the people you most need to influence, on your schedule, without an algorithm deciding who sees it. We manage the full process from strategy to send.

  • +Editorial strategy and positioning for your sector
  • +Monthly briefing call to capture your latest thinking
  • +Full ghostwritten edition, 600 to 900 words, GEO-structured
  • +Three subject line options per edition, tested against open-rate formulas

02

Long-Form Content

Research-backed assets that work for years after publication.

Ebook ghostwriting

3,000 to 8,000-word guides ghostwritten in your voice. Full service: research, writing, fact-checking, and AI GEO optimization. Lead magnets, conference assets, and documents AI tools reference for years.

White papers

Evidence-based documents establishing your position on a technical, policy, or market topic. Written to the standard of your audience, whether investors, regulators, or enterprise buyers.

Investigative reports

Original research fact-checked to journalism standards, published under your brand. The most-cited content type by AI tools and the one that generates the most organic journalist interest.

03

Earned Media

Your byline in the publications your audience reads.

Being published in a respected outlet is third-party validation that no self-published content can replicate. An editor decided your ideas were worth sharing with their audience. That signal travels.

Articles and op-eds

Thought leadership articles and opinion pieces pitched as earned media to business, tech, and sector publications. We write to the editorial standard of the target publication and pitch on the strength of the ideas, not on advertising spend.

Features and interview articles

Narrative features and executive profiles written with the depth and structure of professional journalism, pitched to editors whose audiences are the people you most need to reach.

Our earned media principle: We pitch your content to editors based on journalistic merit. Coverage is won because the editor judged it worth publishing. We also offer paid placements.
AI GEO

Structured for AI citation. Built into everything we write.

Generative Engine Optimization structures content so AI tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews cite your work when someone asks a question in your field. AI-referred traffic grew 527% year-on-year in 2025. We build GEO into every deliverable as standard.

Direct-answer openings

Every piece opens with a clear answer in the first 60 words — the signal AI tools weight most heavily when selecting content to cite.

Fact density

A verifiable statistic or cited source every 150 to 200 words — the strongest signal AI tools use to assess whether a source is citable.

Named expertise

Every piece attributes insights to your name, title, and credentials, building an AI-recognizable authority profile over time.

Clear structure

Descriptive headings, FAQ sections with direct answers, and clean paragraph breaks — the formatting AI tools extract for citation.

Questions about services

Answers to what founders ask most.

We pitch your articles and features on their journalistic merit. Coverage is earned, not purchased, so placement is never guaranteed. Our journalism background gives pitches a high acceptance rate. We do not offer paid placements.
