THE CLIENT

Edge Growth is one of South Africa’s leading SME development and impact investment firms, helping large corporates  drive sustainable economic growth through enterprise development, venture capital, and transformation initiatives.

Despite their deep expertise and strong market reputation, much of Edge Growth’s insight and strategic thinking was not consistently visible online. Their valuable work in SME development, ESG, and transformation often lived inside reports and internal conversations rather than in market-facing thought leadership content.

THE CHALLENGE

Edge Growth had strong credibility within the enterprise and supplier development sector, but their digital thought leadership presence was not fully reflecting the depth of their expertise or influence in the market.

Their challenge was not capability but consistent positioning, visibility and strategic communication.

Without a structured content ecosystem:

  • Valuable insights from webinars, events, and industry discussions were being underutilised.
  • Their LinkedIn presence lacked a consistent strategic narrative.
  • They were not consistently reaching corporate decision-makers responsible for supplier development and transformation strategies.
  • Their expertise was not being fully leveraged to support long-term relationship building and sales conversations.

PARTNERING WITH JEDI FOR SUCCESS

  • Strategic content repurposing: Turning long-form webinars, panel discussions, events, and internal expertise into thoughtful YouTube and LinkedIn content.
  • Content pillar development: Creating strategic themes around SME development, ESG, transformation, and supplier development.
  • LinkedIn thought leadership: Managing and developing consistent LinkedIn content to strengthen Edge Growth’s authority in the market.
  • Event-driven marketing support: Using strategic messaging and content to drive attendance to webinars, industry conversations, and in-person events.
  • Messaging refinement: Continuously evolving positioning and language to align with shifting market conversations and transformation priorities.
