LinkedIn presents a really 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.
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 414 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 [make these stats more powerful by making them relative]:
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 (Chec
6.3M Small Business Owners
plus 1 customizable vertical-specific slides (e.g., 4.1 million IT decision makers)
[update stats at go/audienceanalyzer]:
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.
With your specific end goal now in mind, our targeting is the core of what enables your success on LinkedIn. The authentic member-generated, first party data on LinkedIn is more accurate and highly differentiated in the market noise of audience data. We make it easy for you to segment and reach your audience by offering:
Rich demographic data our members include in their LI profiles (Title, Company, Industry, Seniority, etc.)
Interest based targeting (e.g., Group membership, skills, Companies followed, etc.)
Persona targeting (Job Searchers, Opinion Leaders, Mass Affluent, Business Travelers, etc.)
Integrating of Your 1st party audience data (e.g., targeted account lists to support ABM) to identify these high value audiences on LinkedIn
