- I’ll first share our perspective on the challenges presented by the evolving buyer behavior, then spend the bulk on 2 other topics: 1) the new keys to success with LinkedIn based on our new product set. And 2) I’ll share insights into how my marketing team is using LinkedIn
- LinkedIn presents a truly unique opportunity for brands. It’s the first time in the history of media you can engage with the world’s professionals in one place. With LinkedIn, you’re targeting a quality audience in a professional context. And, you can engage them in a very meaningful way: by sharing valuable content through products tailored to how professionals engage. By doing so, you become part of your audience’s conversations and education on the platform.
- We are the most effective platform for marketers to engage professionals. Today we have clients across industry and around the world that trust LinkedIn to achieve their goals and grow their businesses. At the core, we help them target the right professional audiences to Create awareness early in the purchase process, Engage audiences with content, Drive quality leads and acquire new customers.
- Why are the world’s professionals now gathering in this one place, on LinkedIn? Because the people you’re looking to market to are just like you and me. We’re all searching for the right destinations to find the best information, and there are actually fewer places where we’re gathering in large numbers. Think Amazon for buying stuff, Google (and Baidu) for finding information across the web, FB (and QQ) for connecting with friends/family, YouTube for watching videos
- So, LinkedIn is where by far the largest number of professionals gather to stay connected and informed, advance their career and work smarter. Over 433 million professionals are on LinkedIn. These are the decision makers, influencers, the leaders of today and tomorrow -- the people you want to target, all in one place. On LinkedIn, we have <customize these stats to your audience> 61 million senior-level influencers 40 millions decision makers 10.7 million opinion leaders 6.8 million C-level execs 3 million MBA graduates 22.8M Mass Affluent 6.3M Small Business Owners plus 1 customizable vertical-specific slides (e.g., 4.1 million IT decision makers)
- Professionals are not just coming to LinkedIn in huge numbers, they’re engaging with a unique purpose. They’re coming specifically to connect to their networks, brands and opportunities by engaging with high quality content across the LinkedIn platform. This is a very different mindset and intent from other social media platforms, driven by our members’ professional aspirations. And this mindset has led to the incredible growth of content on the LI platform: 9 billion content impressions every week (content impressions in the feed = 1) articles 2) rich media - photos, videos 3) activity of other members such as likes & comments e.g., “your connection commented on this” 4) ‘Other’ which is a lot of smaller categories like a) the content generated by members themselves - status updates, profile updates, etc. b) posts/discussions in groups c) job changes - e.g. "so and so has changed jobs, congratulate them!” d) member anniversaries, etc. 9 billion weekly content impressions in the feed means there are 15X more content impressions vs job postings served in the feed each week And the majority of this engagement is mobile. More than 57% of the time, they’re accessing this LI content over their mobile device.

Here are just a few stats that talk to how we’re being used, and the impact. <Above> - LI is the #1 social media platform for content distribution -- 94% of the B2B marketers use LinkedIn to distribute content (B2B Content Marketing, 2016 Benchmarks, Content Marketing Institute/MarketingProfs) - LI is the #1 social network for lead generation by a long shot: LinkedIn: 59%; Twitter 28%; FB: 24% (The State of B2B Digital Marketing, Fall 2015, Demandwave)

- <Based on your discovery with the client, consider pulling in specific product portfolio overview slides from the Appendix after this slide> Based on your goals and the metrics you’ll use to grade success of your programs -- and given how members engage on the platform, you can take advantage of a mix of organic content and paid advertising opportunities. Organic: As you look to build your brand and content presence on LI, you can do that on your Company Page, or specific ShowCase Pages. Through long-form posts, or uploading content to Slideshare. And, as you start building your organic presence, in parallel, you can begin investing in a range of paid opportunities to reach the right people on LinkedIn, and engage them at scale in the LinkedIn Feed and beyond (Sponsored Content); in the LinkedIn Inbox (Sponsored InMail); Early in the purchase process (Display Ads); and through other native ad formats (Dynamic Ads, Text Ads); on mobile or desk-top; On mobile or desk-top To peel the onion a bit, as we’ve been discussing, content plays a huge role in driving prospects from one stage to the next across the long purchase process.

It’s a dynamically generated ad format that leverages info from LinkedIn member profiles so is highly engaging, and is very effective at driving traffic to your website or company page.
- Finally, depending on your goals and the KPIs you’re using to measure the performance of your programs, LinkedIn gives you clear visibility into the impact of your programs at every stage of your customers’ purchase process: In our campaign manager, and by working with your account manager, we’ll help you answer questions like this so that you can continually optimize your programs, and boost performance.

- Challenge: Boost Microsoft OneNote Awareness Among Educators Microsoft OneNote is a software solution that offers many features beneficial to an educational setting. Yet, despite these productivity benefits, it was challenging to reach this audience because they are not easily targeted via mainstream online channels, and even when aware of OneNote, educators often don’t know how to use it for lesson planning and classroom ‑‑‑collaboration. Solution: Using LinkedIn Sponsored Updates to Engage Key Targets LinkedIn’s ability to target the niche educator audience presented an attractive solution for the Microsoft OneNote team. When educators spend time online, they usually have a specific professional need in mind, and LinkedIn is a platform dedicated to professional insights and development. LinkedIn recommended a targeted campaign using Sponsored Updates to reach specific educators with relevant content. In Q4 2014, Microsoft launched this campaign to drive understanding of OneNote among educators and underscore its value to teachers as a vital classroom tool. Integral to gauging its success was a microsite Microsoft developed specifically for the campaign –OneNoteForTeachers.com – where educators could experience OneNote’s value firsthand. Results: Sponsored Updates Outshine Benchmarks By leveraging LinkedIn Sponsored Updates, Microsoft found that marketing content significantly outperformed site and educator audience benchmarks – which included impressions, traffic, click-through rates and engagement – and also markedly outperformed other Microsoft campaigns, due largely to personalized copy and images that spoke directly to the audience, specific metrics included: .46% CTR .54% engagement rate 22% additional earned media Primary/secondary target is highest performer with .66% CTR Top performing post: 3x benchmark at .84% CTR

- Marketing/training notes: Product: Sponsored Content Alteryx, headquartered in Irvine, California, creates data blending and advanced analytics software that empowers data analysts to deliver deeper business insights in hours, not weeks. Founded in 2010, the company is focused on reaching departmental data analysts and analytics decision makers to educate them on how they can create consumer analytics that drive better business decisions – and do so using all of the relevant data, including Big Data and emerging sources of data such as social media and cloud applications. LinkedIn Sponsored Content helped Alteryx generate quality leads, at a lower cost than search advertising. “LinkedIn is rapidly becoming one of our best sources of leads,” says Rick Schultz, Senior Vice President of Marketing at Alteryx. “With Sponsored Content, we get the right kind of leads – primarily data analysts – who are not only interested in the relevant content we’ve created and in learning more about our product, but also fit our target audience profile perfectly.”
- Sponsored InMail is a game changer in terms of taking email marketing effectiveness to the next level. Sponsored InMail is the most direct way to engage your prospects on LinkedIn. Our customers use Sponsored InMail to drive tangible DR metrics – leads, CPL, pipeline. And, they do that by delivering targeted, personalized messages right into their LinkedIn inbox.
- To drill down a bit on why this is such an effective lower-funnel weapon. First and foremost, your Sponsored InMails only get delivered when members are on LinkedIn, which means your message is always front and center, and you’re dealing with someone who is already engaged on the site. And, Sponsored InMail breaks new ground as an email marketing channel because 100% of the emails we’re sending are delivered. As you know, this is stark contrast to the traditional email buys you might be making through other publisher sites. We can dig in further, but we’ve also put a lot of our recent development focus on optimizing performance on mobile since that’s where your prospects are increasingly spending time consuming content, both on and off LinkedIn. Clients deploy a rage of offers through Sponsored InMail. Some are looking to boost conversions with targeted product and service promotions. Some personalize invites to webinars or in-person events. Others, promote content (e.g., infographics, white papers, etc) to prompt lightweight downloads, conversions.
