Social snapshot: Why we need more faces on LinkedIn

If you hate face-to-camera videos on LinkedIn, I get it. But here’s why you’re wrong.

LinkedIn’s AI presence – fit for purpose?

Every social platform is utilising AI in some way – actually, they always have – but now in the way of generating comments and campaigns themselves.

B2B for LinkedIn: the missing piece

Determining the ultimate formula for effective B2B social media success on LinkedIn remains a subject of debate – but a simplistic approach involving mere infusion of technical terminology into posts isn’t going to land. Ever. You might be sceptical, thinking, “Oh great, another blog advising me to…

Sadly, the diversified IT supplier appears to place more effort…

LinkedIn is getting the hang of events

If you’ve been following our blog for a while, you’ll remember when we wrote this post – the overarching tone of voice was “Gah, FINALLY, LinkedIn!!!” Given that almost every real-life event in 2020 has been cancelled or moved to online (thanks for nothing, Mr C. Ovid!), we aren’t the…

LinkedIn finally wants you to get to know your followers

LinkedIn has been historically reticent to give in-depth follower information, or it has at least limited follower-specific features.

Student Voices are on LinkedIn looking a lot like Snapchat’s Stories

Back to the Future with LinkedIn

There’s been a great deal of talk over the past few months of the future strategic moves that LinkedIn might be making. As always, LinkedIn is extremely slow at implementing radical changes.

Is hashtagging on LinkedIn #WorthIt?

LinkedIn? Hot property? Amazing what a few tweaks can do

It’s not personal, it’s just business. Actually, it’s a balance of both. The whole point of LinkedIn is to be a social network for business, yet, in the fifteen years since its inception, detractors have been chipping away at everything from its design, to UX and lack of products like…

Are LinkedIn’s new targeting tools your perfect match?

Earlier this week, LinkedIn announced it has hit the 500 million user mark, with users from 200 different countries.

Should LinkedIn be a social network or a professional networking channel?

LinkedIn not the lone ranger of B2B Paid

All hail the lurkers

Lurkers are your biggest audience and they’re deciding in silence. They watch in feeds, sanity-check you in comments, communities and reviews, then repeat whatever proof is easiest to quote internally. That’s why social feels harder, it’s no longer a click machine, it’s an answer surface. Ofcom shows AI summaries are now common in search results, and YouTube remains the UK’s biggest social utility by reach and time spent. If your story is inconsistent, your evidence is scattered, or your customer proof is buried, lurkers can’t do the job of trusting you for you.
