Jonathan Peters-Newman.
Co-founder and Head of Content · Fimiliar
Jonathan Peters-Newman is co-founder and Head of Content of Fimiliar, and an expert in personal branding, storytelling, content and ghostwriting that sounds like you: the writing a buying group actually reads, remembers and repeats.
01What he's expert in
Personal branding, story, and content that sounds like you.
Jonathan is an expert in personal branding: finding the story in what an expert knows, and turning it into content that sounds like them, not like a brand. That covers thought leadership published under a firm's own partners' names, LinkedIn content, ghostwriting, and the copy that goes out under Fimiliar's own name. Every piece is held to the same standard: specific enough that the reader believes a real person wrote it, because a real person did.
Content is one of the places the loop acts, alongside outbound and engagement, and GEO. GEO is short for generative engine optimisation. Jonathan's writing is built to hold up in both places: in front of a person getting to know your firm, and inside the answer an AI gives about it.
