Solutions

Social media marketing on LinkedIn is a powerful tool for a B2B marketing strategy. LinkedIn provides access to a vast network of potential customers. Thus, businesses can easily reach and engage with their B2B audiences, especially decision-makers.

LinkedIn is our customer’s top social media platform that generates a significant amount of organic website traffic. Therefore, we mainly focused on LinkedIn promotion, which went hand in hand with a well-defined content strategy and strong social media advocacy.

Our team put emphasis on sharing various social media content, including blog articles, company and event updates, engaging and informative imagery and videos. Besides that, we established a consistent posting schedule, taking into account times and days when the audience is the most active on LinkedIn.

The secret to growing your social media platforms is the same as the secret to ranking well on search engines. It’s all about optimisation, user experience (UX) and high-quality content. In the same way as improving your site’s ranking, growing social media isn’t an event that happens overnight. It requires a lot of effort and time.
