- In a nutshell, Linkedin has the ability to precisely target audiences in a business context, to deliver high impact solutions for marketers and agencies. Let’s dive deeper:If we think about this in the context of the follower ecosystem on LinkedIn , this unique value proposition allows marketers access to a highly affluent, influential and active audience, with the ability to pinpoint their exact target audience at scale on our platform.Context defines behaviour on the site, as a result there is very little mis-behaviour, and so a high degree of trust. In this trusted environment, marketers can engage in dialogue with professionals who have indicated that communications from their business are relevant, and so valuable to them. The social nature of the site means that when the audience you engaged share the content you posted, their connections are also likely to be highly relevant and so valuable to you. In this example, your content now shared virally will carry the endorsement of the professional who chose to share that content, dramatically improving the impact your communications have, increasing incremental reach, and driving a long –term engagement with relevant customersWINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY

- Adding Skills & Volunteer Work New Student Profiles
- Replaces rolodex & business card; address book in the cloudThere are over 135 million LinkedIn members and a new member joins every second. Here's how to make your profile stand out:Update your profile regularly. Have you Googled yourself? Your profile comes up high in search results for your name, so make sure your online first impression packs a punch. Update your profile when you nab a promotion or switch jobs. If recently took a class or got a certification, make sure that info is on your profile too. Have you learned new skills in the past year? Make sure they're listed on your profile. Keep your profile updated, even when you're not looking for a job, since clients or partners may be searching for someone like you. If you only have your current position listed on your profile, then you may look like a professional that only has a year of experience if that's how long you've been in your current role. That's why it's important to add your previous work history in your profile. You are 12 times more likely to be viewed for potential opportunities if you have more than one position listed on your profile.Get connected. Remember, when you look at a person's profile on LinkedIn, you'll see if you have any connections "in common." There is a "magic" number of connections on LinkedIn and that number is 50 contacts. By connecting to at least 50 people that you know and trust (current co-workers, clients, friends and family) you'll increase your chances of getting in touch with people and companies that will help you get ahead in your career.Add a photo. If you add a photo you're seven times more likely to have people view your profile. Adding a photo is also important if you're reaching out to people you've lost touch with. People never forget a face. (Especially if you changed last name when you got married. A college classmate or former boss may remember you as Karen Harris, not Karen Smith, so a photo will jog their memory.)

- World is social… We see enormous value in Followers, and developing your own follower ecosystem before everyone else (Followers follow a finite set of brands)Create experience by building a Co Page, establish a presence on the platformAcquire Followers w/Follow Ads + Message Followers w/co status updates (Home Page, Profile Page, Mobile, Websites) = Drives Engagement and the viral mechanics… fuels the ecosystemNote: significant value in Followers and Co Status Updates even if Co Page P&S tab not completely developed.
- Status Update and Chevron logos are intended to be customized. See appendix for generic, non-branded example. Co Status Updates are distributed at key points across LI and the web “Everywhere” is a core LI value and emphasized in everything we do Followers are genuinely interested in your brand, they are not given incentivized offers to follow (eg, “like” me to enter sweepstakes)
- Both Chevron logos are intended to be customized. See appendix for generic, non-branded example.Leveraging LinkedIn’s assets drives the virality that fuels your Follower ecosystem. As we discussed your Co Page is the foundation of your presence on the platform. From this central hub your Co Status Update is distributed to your Followers, and their interactions with your status update (via shares, comments, likes) are distributed across their networks. These Follower interactions generate tremendous value for you… Earned media – advocates and enthusiasts amplify your brand messages, generating “earned media” which is the most powerful form of advertising that exists Incremental reach – as your message spreads via the viral mechanics you benefit from incremental reach, which serves to lower your acquisition costs and increase your ROI Lasting relationships – while campaigns end, your conversations with Followers continue. This ability to have sustained, relevant messaging helps you impact purchase influence, and also move key metrics around retention and loyaltyInsights – are key to improving campaign performance and planning… [next slide]
