The Story of an Agency Consultant and PostSmithAI
It all started with burnout. The kind that creeps in when your days are filled with client meetings, pitch decks, deliverables… and somewhere in between, you're expected to maintain a presence on LinkedIn.
For one agency consultant, it wasn't about not wanting to post. It was about not having the time or mental bandwidth to sit for 30 minutes and write something meaningful. That’s when PostSmithAI entered the picture—not just another scheduling tool, but a personalized AI writing assistant built for LinkedIn.
What followed wasn’t just increased engagement. It was a transformation in how this consultant positioned their brand, elevated their voice, and grew their consulting pipeline—while putting in half the effort.
Understanding the Role: Why Agency Consultants Struggle with LinkedIn
Every agency consultant knows the drill: your brain is a cascade of strategy sessions, campaign sprints, and endless feedback loops. Building a LinkedIn presence feels like another full-time job.
Time Is the First Barrier
Creating content isn't just about typing. It’s about ideating, editing, formatting, and keeping up with what actually *works* on the platform.
The Engagement Trap
Even if you post occasionally, the algorithm doesn't reward you unless you're consistent. That means commenting, responding, and liking actively. All of which takes up valuable time.
Enter PostSmithAI: A Smarter Approach to LinkedIn Engagement
PostSmithAI isn’t just a content tool—it becomes your voice on LinkedIn. Unlike generic schedulers like Buffer, which focus on distribution, PostSmithAI helps you generate impactful content, tailor it to your niche, and create thoughtful comments with just a few clicks.
Here's How It Works for Agency Consultants
- Choose your persona: marketer, strategist, brand builder—you define your consulting voice.
- Use the built-in editor to generate LinkedIn posts based on recent trends, achievements, or even just vague ideas.
- Want to comment on a trending post? Copy the link into the platform, and PostSmithAI will craft professional, on-brand responses instantly.
“After 7 weeks using PostSmithAI, my LinkedIn engagement grew by 4x, and I booked two consulting calls directly from commenters.” – An agency consultant user
PostSmithAI vs. Buffer: Why It’s Not Even a Contest
While Buffer helps schedule posts, it assumes you’ve already written them. That’s the problem.
Key Differences
- Content Generation: PostSmithAI writes for you. Buffer doesn't.
- Comment Automation: PostSmithAI helps generate engaging responses. Buffer only schedules outgoing content.
- AI-Personalization: Tailor tone, position, and voice to match your consulting brand. Buffer? Not an option.
- Strategy Guidance: PostSmithAI suggests topics and engagement strategies based on what’s performing well.
And the Time Savings?
Buffer still requires you to write everything. With PostSmithAI, consultants cut weekly content development time by over 70%—without sacrificing quality or authenticity.
Crafting Authority Through AI
LinkedIn isn’t just a platform—it’s a stage. And for agency consultants trying to build credibility, visibility matters. PostSmithAI doesn't churn out AI gibberish. It elevates your thinking.
From positioning thought pieces to sharing behind-the-scenes lessons, consultants used PostSmithAI to craft posts that landed them podcast invites, keynote panels, and inbound leads.
"You can’t be a ghost consultant. LinkedIn is your storefront. PostSmithAI gave me a window display that actually converts."
Using AI Comments to Deepen Relationships
Commenting on others' content is one of the fastest ways to get noticed. But it’s also one of the first things to slide off the to-do list.
With PostSmithAI, you can:
- Paste a post link and generate insightful replies in seconds
- Customize tone—friendly, expert, neutral, curious
- Build rapport at scale without sounding robotic
This function alone makes it vastly superior to Buffer, which doesn’t touch interaction beyond scheduled posts.
Beyond the Features: Building a Brand with Less Effort
Success on LinkedIn for agency consultants isn’t just about views or likes. It’s about positioning, relevance, and resonance.
With PostSmithAI’s persona-based engine, you’re not just writing—you’re publishing from a clear, consistent brand perspective. That makes your content build credibility, not just “perform well.”
Takeaway Benefits:
- Create 5x more content in 1/3 the time
- Maintain a consistent voice across posts and comments
- Never run out of ideas—thanks to weekly prompt suggestions
- Respond to engagement instantly with smart, AI-drafted replies

Final Thoughts
For agency consultants, LinkedIn should be more than an obligation. It should be a magnet—pulling in the right clients, collaborators, and conversations. With PostSmithAI, you're not just showing up—you’re standing out.
Buffer still has its place for large-scale teams managing 20 accounts. But for individual consultants looking to scale authority, PostSmithAI delivers at a whole new level—strategic, smart, and most importantly, personal.
So maybe that same consultant who once dreaded writing now looks forward to hitting “Publish.” Because what they're posting isn’t filler—it’s their voice, amplified.
