Executive ghostwriting agency
Executive ghostwriting for leaders whose name carries the company.
Executive ghostwriting is a firm writing and publishing in a senior leader's voice, so buyers, boards and candidates meet the judgement you already have. Underdog does this for CEOs, partners and operators. You approve every word. The measure is meetings and trust, not a personal brand costume. If you want the weekly rhythm on its own, that page is the executive ghostwriter engagement. This page is the firm.
Who hires an executive ghostwriting agency
You are a CEO, a CRO, a partner, a managing director, or another operator whose name is how the company shows up in the market. You are not trying to become an influencer. You need the people who matter to see how you think, and you work in a context where a careless post costs more than silence. Founders at the point where the board is a second reader belong here too. If you want one essay and then a stop, hire a freelancer. If the presence has to hold for a year, hire the agency.
What the engagement includes
Posts and commentary in your voice, primarily on LinkedIn, with long-form where the idea deserves it. Voice capture at the start, then a 30-minute session each week that becomes the raw material. Senior writers draft. Editors cut anything that reads like a template or like a comms department sanding you down. Design ships when it earns a save, not as decoration. Scheduling and publishing are included, and nothing goes live without your sign-off. The monthly itemisation is on the services page.
How the work runs
Voice capture first: how you decide, what you will not say, the stories you already tell in the room. Then the weekly session, which is a conversation, not a briefing document. Drafts come back inside the lines we mapped, including the corporate ones. You review in minutes. We publish and report on replies from the right accounts, profile visits from named buyers, and meetings, then the next week moves because of that. The LinkedIn-specific hire, if the feed is the whole job, is hire a LinkedIn ghostwriter. The team behind a pure LinkedIn cadence is the LinkedIn ghostwriting agency.
What a senior leader should get back
Not a follower graph as the headline. A track record a board member can forward, a buyer who arrives warmer, and a hiring market that has already read you. One enterprise AI founder saw 40,000 views on a single post in a market that is allergic to marketing. A venture firm's partners hold three-figure engagement every week, which is how founders know who they are before the meeting. One client signed business in week two off a single post. The numbers, without rounding, are on the results page.
There is a version of executive content that only serves the company, and it is what most communications teams produce: safe, and forgotten. The engagement we run serves you as well. The point of view is yours. The by-line is yours. Executives who build a visible record negotiate from a different position, inside the company and outside it.
Agency, or a lone ghostwriter
A lone ghostwriter can be excellent and still be one diary. When they are away, the presence you hired them for goes quiet, which is exactly when a market assumes you had nothing to say. An executive ghostwriting agency keeps writers, editors and the voice guide on the account, and it is built for the constraint a freelancer often treats as a nuisance: legal, communications, and a reader who will screenshot you. The price of that is a retainer, not a per-post invoice. When the freelancer is the better buy, and what the rest of the market charges in 2026, is in the cost and pricing guide. Our tiers are on the pricing page.
What it costs
Engagements start at $2,000 a month, billed quarterly, because ninety days is the minimum for content to compound. Most clients land between $2,000 and $6,500 depending on volume and formats. See the pricing page for our tiers, and the 2026 cost and pricing guide for market ranges and when an agency beats a freelancer.

Questions buyers ask
What is executive ghostwriting?
Executive ghostwriting is a firm writing and publishing in a senior leader's voice: posts, commentary and long-form, drawn from how that person actually thinks, inside an approval line that can survive a screenshot. The ideas stay yours. The firm supplies the cadence, the editing and the publishing you will not sustain alone.
What does an executive ghostwriting agency do?
It runs the presence the way a senior in-house team would, without you hiring one. Voice capture, a weekly working session, senior writers, editors, design where it earns a place, scheduling, and a report that talks about replies and meetings. Underdog does this for CEOs, partners and operators, from $2,000 a month.
Who is executive ghostwriting for?
CEOs, CROs, partners, managing directors and other operators whose name carries the company's credibility. You are not trying to become an influencer. You need buyers, boards, candidates and the industry to see the judgement you already have. A careless post costs more than silence, which is why the approval line is part of the service.
How is this different from hiring a LinkedIn ghostwriter?
A LinkedIn ghostwriter engagement is the platform cadence: posts, publishing, meetings from the feed. Executive ghostwriting is that, plus the corporate constraint: sharper judgement, tighter boundaries, and a reader who includes the board. Start at hire a LinkedIn ghostwriter if the feed is the whole job. Stay here if the name on the work is a senior leader's.
How much does executive ghostwriting cost?
The same three tiers as the rest of the firm: $2,000, $3,500 and $6,500 a month, billed quarterly, on the pricing page. Market context for 2026 is in the cost and pricing guide, and the executive-specific note is at executive ghostwriting pricing.
How do you handle compliance and sign-off?
Nothing publishes without your approval. Sensitive topics are flagged before drafting. Where legal or communications need a look, they get a review step rather than a last-minute scramble. The weekly session is thirty minutes. The rest of the calendar stays yours.
What should change in the first quarter?
You should be publishing every week in a voice a colleague would recognise, with at least a few of the right people replying. One client closed business in week two from a single post. More often the first quarter is when the right names start appearing, and the compounding is visible in the report rather than in a viral spike.
Your name should be the one the market already trusts.
