Much focus is made on LinkedIn on the benefits to the individual, either from business development, job hunting or general networking … and rightly so! The start point of our individual activity revolves around our Personal profile and all interaction is carried out between members.
However, arguably a much greater benefit can be gained by organisations that are able to tap into the tools and opportunities that the LinkedIn site offers from a general marketing and branding perspective – both active and passive, corporate and individual, broadcast and targetted.
In the Unlocking the Company Marketing Opportunities on LinkedIn, we examine the opportunities that exist on LinkedIn from a company perspective and how to both identify the ones that will provide real benefit and then tap into them. We also look at how to go about coordinating the activity both at an individual and company level, and then .
This is a half day session which is available as an in-house workshop just for the marketing team or can be built into a full day workshop where other sessions might include LinkedIn for Business Development, looking across the company at creating a consistent profile or in conjunction with a session for the HR team.
What do we cover?
The session is designed to introduce the different elements that are available to us as marketers on LinkedIn and how we can make best use of them.
In this intensive half-day session, we look at how to tap into these opportunities on LinkedIn and make the most of them. We also look at the key elements of the site that you need to know about to organise your own activity and be able to coordinate that of your team.
We look at how to:
- set up and effectively use LinkedIn’s Company Pages
- benefit from the push marketing opportunities on offer and the customer targetting benefits of the products and services pages
- integrate the power of your staff’s personal profile pages
- build LinkedIn into your Content Marketing activities
- using groups for thought leadership, group collaboration or your website traffic programme
- paid advertising options available
As a final element we look at the integration options that are available to us and ensure that we consider how the planning / strategy process should be approached and implemented.
Who should attend the session?
The session is aimed at those people within an organisation responsible for the marketing function but will also benefit all senior managers who are interested in how the company might:
- Promote their products and services
- Identify and engage with potential & current clients
- Increase their visibility in their key markets
- Develop new opportunities and partnerships
It is also relevant for those looking to build LinkedIn into their sales and marketing strategy and so need to gain a greater understanding of the options that are available and how they might be integrated with their organisation’s other activities.
