We live in the Influencer Age, where people project themselves as relevant figures to be admired and emulated.

Advertisers working with one of LinkedIn's certified B2B Attribution and Analytics partners now better measure campaign impact with insights from Company Intelligence API. Aggregated company-level engagement data from LinkedIn, like paid and organic impressions or clicks, can now be viewed directly within existing reports and dashboards alongside additional campaign insights, with no extra setup required. Partners ingest this data and combine it with CRM outcomes and other channels to deliver attributed metrics, like pipeline impact and ROI.
When LinkedIn launched [its dedicated video tab], it was completely pushing out videos - it was giving millions of impressions. But after it reached its peak, now it no longer gets impressions.

I'm a LinkedIn ghostwriter, which means I write personal LinkedIn posts for other people in their unique voice. Nobody knows I'm the writer behind the post. Today, CEOs, executives, entrepreneurs, and consultants are also building their online presence and vying for attention, particularly on LinkedIn. That's where the ghostwriter comes in. According to LinkedIn, 82% of consumers are more likely to trust a company whose CEO and leadership team are active on social media, and 77% are more likely to buy from such a company.

Get familiar with the platform before you commit to a social media calendar.
