Maximising The World’s Largest Professional Network

In this week’s episode, we’re joined by Annabel Hartle, Senior Client Solutions Manager at LinkedIn. With over a decade of varied experience in digital marketing, Annabel has a huge amount of online content engagement tactics that she shares in this show and, of course, we deep dive into LinkedIn itself, looking at best practice for organic and paid content on the behemoth business platform.

As well as looking at what is working right now Annabel also shares what she sees at the next big developments within the platform and there might be an exclusive share or two that is super-valuable for agencies to be aware of!

In this show you will hear: 

  • Understanding LinkedIn reach
  • How to utilise LinkedIn engagement
  • Maximising the power of hybrid events
  • Upcoming LinkedIn services that will add huge value to brands and agencies 
  • ROI vs KPI
