Peter Kang runs social at Clay, the GTM Engineering Platform valued at $3.1B. Peter turned LinkedIn into one of Clay’s strongest growth channels, without paid ads, without corporate content, and with a team of one. In 69 weeks, he posted 961 times and grew the Clay company page from ~14K to 120K+ followers.

This episode is a deep, tactical breakdown of what actually works on LinkedIn in 2025, and why most B2B advice completely misses the point.

What we cover:

- Why company pages still matter and what they’re actually good for

- How Peter posted 961 times in a year as a team of one (and what broke)

- Why video works even when it breaks every rule

- Why “taste” is the real moat in modern marketing & how to hire for it

- How Clay is activating their founders on LinkedIn and the playbook they’re following

- Why LinkedIn runs on ACV, not CPM

- How Clay connects social engagement to pipeline

- Why optimization advice creates noise, not signal

- The authenticity test most content fails
