Your LinkedIn Company Page is an online beacon for both prospective customers and prospective employees. As such, it is a truly unique space on the web, one that blurs the lines between knowledge- sharing platform and relationship-building tool.
To help you make the most of your LinkedIn Company Page, we’ve put together this visual guide, which features several “pro tips” provided by LinkedIn’s marketing team.
Do you remember your first A/B test on email? I do. (Nerdy, I know.) I felt simultaneously thrilled and terrified because I knew I had to actually use some of what I learned in college stats for my job.
I sat on the cusp of knowing just enough about statistics that it could be dangerous. For instance, I knew that you needed a big enough sample size to run the test on. I knew I needed to run the test long enough to get statistically significant results.
Great news, marketers: Facebook just announced a feature that can help drive more traffic from your Facebook Page to your website: a call-to-action button.
While this feature isn’t available to everyone just yet, it’ll roll out in the U.S. over the next few weeks and worldwide starting in 2015. So if you don’t see it on your Page yet, rest assured that it’s coming. In the meantime, you can catch up on all the feature’s details in this post.
Visual content is the most powerful tool your brand can use to engage your fans on social media. It allows you to express ideas quickly and effectively, which is a valuable tactic to set your brand apart from the vast amount of written content published online every day.
So which kinds of visual content works best on social media? The best answer: a variety. Finding clever and creative ways to mix up your visual content will boost your fan interaction and help your build your brand’s identity on social.
Confession: Back when Facebook first rolled out Graph Search, I was a little disappointed.
In theory, it seemed like it could help me. If I had optimized the About section on my Page with just the right details, and someone on a desktop computer actually used Facebook’s awkwardly worded search queries, maybe they would find my Page. And then, maybe they’d click through to see what was going on there. And maybe they’d click on a post I had published that included a link back to my website.
The Holiday Season. It’s a season of giving. A season of eating, drinking, and being merry. And, most importantly of all, it’s a season of buying biomorphic robots, sleeved blankets, and sexually suggestive fitness equipment.
Don’t worry, all of those references will make sense soon … I think. But the main point here is that each and every holiday season, we’re presented with a fresh array of “must-have” products, from toys and trinkets to consumer electronics.
We all know that guest blogging, as a whole, isn’t dead. We also know that it’s a very effective form of brand building. And we know that we need to pitch guest blogging proposals in order to secure a guest post.
But how do we actually do it? How do we create a guest blogging proposal that gets accepted?
Can you believe it’s only been 10 years since Facebook was founded?
Perhaps many of you feel like it was just yesterday when “friend” was just a noun and the phrase “pics or it didn’t happen” wasn’t a common quip. But because social media networks like Facebook have been a central fixture of most companies’ marketing strategies for so many years now, I don’t know … 10 years makes it seem so young.

Social selling is part activity, part reputation. If you’re writing insightful comments on your prospects’ blogs, responding to their tweets, and liking their shared content, you’ve got the activity bit down pat. But if your LinkedIn profile doesn’t include your three jobs and features a cropped picture of you from prom, you can’t really call yourself a social seller.
If you’d like to start a social selling initiative in earnest, then begin by revamping your LinkedIn profile. Just as you’re researching potential buyers on LinkedIn to learn more about them, they’re looking at your profile to judge whether they want to do business with you. Don’t ruin great messaging and positive interactions with an outdated, sparse, or inappropriate profile.

The first volume of The SoDA Report revealed a disturbing survey result earlier this year. When asked about talent gaps, and 77%of agency respondents identified user experience (UX) as the biggest shortfall on the client side.
If there is one thing you should try to do to increase the impact of your social media, it’s adding visual marketing to your posts. At the simplest level, that means that every post should contain a graphic or video. While that sounds like a lot of work, it can have aContinue Reading
