When it comes to online marketing and social media, people tend to engage from emotion, but buy for benefits. LinkedIn is no different (sort of). It's different than any other social platform because it's more professionally based. That means what works on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and others, may or may not work on LinkedIn.
LinkedIn differs because the audience is used to the corporate environment. They appreciate training, information, and whatever helps them in their professional careers and business. It does not have to be stodgy. Just the opposite, it should be creative, just not as casual (no posting of cat videos and memes).

- Header Image
- Summary
- Media Files
- Contact Info
