Case Study

Turning Specialist Expertise Into a Consistent Social Presence

Sheridan Consult operates in a specialist health and social care market where credibility, clarity and subject-matter expertise matter. Quantum was initially commissioned to develop its social media strategy. Following the strategy work, Sheridan appointed Quantum to manage its ongoing social presence across company and leadership profiles. The relationship then expanded into content creation, thought leadership, video, account management and targeted business-development activity.

Strong Expertise Without a Consistent Digital Voice

Sheridan Consult had deep specialist expertise across health and social care. However, its digital presence needed clearer direction: what to communicate, who to reach and how company and leadership profiles should work together.

The initial commission focused on social strategy. This meant defining audiences, channels, content themes and publishing priorities. It also set out the role social could play within wider marketing and business-development activity.

Following that strategy phase, Quantum was commissioned to take responsibility for ongoing delivery and management.

The initial strategy developed into an ongoing social media management relationship. This gave Sheridan a more consistent and coordinated digital presence across both company and leadership channels.

Over the measured 90-day period, Sheridan generated 35,096 organic impressions, a 200% increase on the previous 90 days, and reached 17,817 LinkedIn members.

Crucially, 84% of discovery came from outside the existing network. This showed that the content was reaching new professional audiences, rather than simply circulating among current followers.

Individual thought-leadership content also showed strong discovery potential. One featured post generated 11,705 impressions and reached 8,192 members. 97% of its impressions came from outside the existing network.

All figures reflect genuine organic LinkedIn performance. No paid media spend is attributed to these results.
