The most effective platform for educational institutions to reach prospective students, current students, and alumni
How can we do this? To start, there are over 200,000 professionals joining LinkedIn daily. And we now have over 380 million profiles on the site – more than 10 times what we had just 7 years ago.
One manifestation of LinkedIn’s vision is the economic graph - a digital mapping of every major component of the global economy: workers, their skills, companies, their jobs, and institutions that provide training and education
The economic graph will reduce the friction for the flow of all forms of capital – real, human, and intellectual.
Members >350M (39M students & recent grads)

LinkedIn provides valuable tools to support the entire student journey -- from the moment they consider furthering their education, to the moment they become and alumni of your school.
LinkedIn provides a powerful platform for all constituencies within the school to reach their key audiences.
LinkedIn has products that impact every stage of your funnel.
We are in a unique position to help you a) generate awareness and reach more of the right people to send to your marketing channels b) nurture those audiences by delivering the most appropriate content depending on where they are in their purchase cycle.
We also offer powerful targeting capabilities that allow you to target just the right people among that audience of professionals.
[CUSTOMIZE TARGETING FILTERS TO MATCH YOUR CLIENT’S TARGET AUDIENCE] Here are a few examples of filters you can use.
After you find your target audience, the next step is to start influencing those people towards a purchase. To understand how that works on LinkedIn, let’s pick one individual from your target audience as an example.
