Be the expert brands call first.
Splendid Engines keeps an invite-only database of B2B practitioners. People who have done the work and have a view on it. When a client's piece fits what you know and what you want, we email you. You say yes or no.
Not a list of names. A list of yeses.
Anyone can scrape a list of names. What we keep is your yes, on terms you agreed to, and your goals in your own words. That is why brands come to us, and why you only hear about things that fit.
Invite-only.
Most experts join because we asked them. You can also apply. Either way, we talk first, and nobody is added without saying yes.
For practitioners, not influencers.
We look for people whose influence comes from the work: the calls you made, the teams you ran, the things you have seen go right and wrong. Follower counts are not the point.
You approve your own profile.
Your profile says what you know and what you want from it. You check it, fix it and approve it. We match on your goals, not just your title.
Private by design.
We never publish the directory, so you never become a cold list for vendors. A client sees you only on a match, and only once you both say yes. Nobody is told who said no.
Your take, in the right rooms.
First call in your space.
When a brand wants to co-create a piece on your topic, you hear about it first.
First look at our research.
You see data from the research we run before it is released.
A real invitation.
On a client match, the ask comes from the client's own spokesperson, not from us.
A coordinated launch.
Every piece you are in launches on a plan, so your post and the brand's land together.
The engagement report.
After launch you get the report, plus the list of everyone who engaged with the piece.
Promotion you choose.
Each piece carries a backlink and a plug of your choosing: your company, your book, your podcast.
A network that grows.
Each piece puts you in a room with the brand, its leaders and the other experts on it.
Seen when it counts.
Your listing is visible to a client when you are a match, and not before.
Five steps. On your schedule.
We connect.
Usually we reach out on LinkedIn because something you wrote caught our eye. A short note, no ask. Found us first? Apply here and we'll take it from there.
We talk.
A short call to hear what you know and what you want from it. No prep. If the timing is wrong, we pick a date to come back.
You apply.
We send you your profile, filled in from our call. Check it, fix anything we got wrong, and approve it. That is your application. Found us first? You fill it in yourself.
We welcome you.
A welcome email says you're in and what to expect. It links your one-sheet, so you see yourself the way a client will.
You hear by email on a fit.
When a client's piece fits your goals and topics, we email you. Yes or no, do your best to reply within 5 business days. No fit for a while? You won't hear from us.
Three things. That's the deal.
Do your best to reply to new opportunities within 5 business days, yes or no. Share firsthand experience from your work as a practitioner. When a piece goes live, repost it to your network with your own thoughts, at the time we schedule, always within your workday. The full expert participation terms are one click away.
