- 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
- We all know that it’s becoming increasingly difficult to influence purchase decisions. The buyers journey is non-linear and people are making it through 90% of it before they reach out directly. Today’s buyers have no shortage of online destinations they can visit to to find information about products, compare prices, get social recommendations and so on. Against this backdrop, content is playing a huge role in the buying process, making it easier for buyers to be self-sufficient, and that’s why they’re able to make it through most of this journey on their own. On average, people are consuming 10 of those pieces of content before making a purchase.
- So what’s the bottom line? To be successful, marketers need to get their brands and the right message and content in front of the right prospects at every stage of the purchase decision if you want to to be in a strong position to shape the outcome. Said another way, relevant content is the key.
- But, no big surprise, getting relevant content in front of prospects where and when they need is far easier said than done. Why is that? First, marketers are challenged to cost-efficiently get their brands and content in front of their target audiences early in the buy process, a challenge underscored by this Nielsen stat that more than 40% of ads are not reaching the right audiences. Next, even when we do get in front of our prospects -- and even with the big investment most marketing orgs are making in content marketing -- it seems we’re struggling to be relevant, and helpful, with 60-70% of content we’re creating going unread. In fact, this stat from Sirius Decisions uncovered that the most cited reason as to why B2B content goes unread is that it’s irrelevant to the target audience. Finally, as we drive prospects lower in our funnels, even when we manage to reach the right audiences and drive them to our websites, 95 of 100 visitors are leaving without filling out a web form. So, in the best case, you’re getting a 5% conversions on your site visitors – the average is more like 2 – 3% This is a pretty sobering snapshot which implies a lot of potential value slipping through our fingers... but it also presents some pretty big opportunities for upside if we can make progress in these areas.
- ....but it also presents some pretty big opportunities for upside if we can make progress in these areas. What if you could be sure to reach only the right people and deliver highly relevant content to them in the channels where they’re engaging. By doing so, you’d be better able to drive them to your site or the right destination based on your campaign. Then, what if you could establish an ongoing connection with them and provide them the content they want at the exact right times to help them make their purchase decision? What if you could eliminate all those leaks and realign the funnel, generating significantly more conversions and opportunities?
- <Short Version> This is what we’ve been hard at work solving in LinkedIn Marketing Solutions. LinkedIn has products that impact every stage of your funnel. We’ve built an end-to-end, full-funnel set of solutions that can help you impact every stage of your funnel. Our platform puts us a unique position to help you generate awareness and reach more of the right people engaging those audiences until they’re ready to connect with a Sales rep, by delivering the most appropriate content depending on where they are in their buy process <Extended Version with some product detail> - At the top of the funnel, we have our LinkedIn Display Advertising solutions which will give you two powerful ways to make sure you’re reaching new audiences, that you’re on the radar and building brand with the right audiences: LinkedIn Onsite Display and LinkedIn Network Display. -As prospects start their journey down your funnel, content marketing plays a huge role in driving prospects from one stage to the next. And, here LinkedIn Sponsored Updates lets you get your content directly in the LinkedIn feed, where you’re essentially capturing people’s attention when they’re most engaged – while reviewing information shared by their professional network. - And, as you move firmly into the lower half of the funnel where direct response goals reign supreme, Sponsored InMail is a game changer in terms of taking email marketing effectiveness to the next level. You can think about Sponsored InMail as the most direct way to engage your prospects on LinkedIn by delivering targeted, personalized messages right into their LInkedIn inbox. -Finally, as your other programs have now done their job to reach new prospects and then start driving them down the funnel, LinkedIn Lead Accelerator helps you get to the ultimate goal -- lead conversions, pipeline contribution, customer acquisition by giving you an entirely new way to nurture your prospects….
- <This slide highlights how LinkedIn has become a publishing platform, by showing the various Channels through which members engage content> And, they’re engaging in a ton of content on LinkedIn. LinkedIn has really become, at the core, the definitive professional publishing platform. A place where members are consuming professional content published on over 7M brand-managed company pages, content shared by over 500 LInkedIn Influencers and 1M publishers, as well as peer to peer sharing through posts to the LinkedIn Feed and Groups. And, with the recent acquisition of Lynda, members are now engaging with professional training content.
- Starting with reach, on LinkedIn you’re reaching the world’s professionals. More than ½ of the world’s professionals are on LinkedIn
- Very importantly, as you run LinkedIn programs, our rich data ensure that you’re able to focus your investment on exactly the professional audiences you’re looking to reach.

- Marketing/training notes: Product: Network Display MyCase, an AppFolio company, is a web-based practice management software solution for lawyers. Built as a complete legal practice management software, MyCase offers features that seamlessly cover all the daily functions that a modern law firm requires, including contact and case management, calendaring, secure client communication, time tracking, and billing. Because MyCase offers legal practice management in the cloud, lawyers can work from anywhere at any time significantly increasing productivity. “When we first started working with LinkedIn, we were still building our brand,” explains Sarah Bottorff, director of marketing at MyCase. “We had just started out in a super competitive space and needed to quickly reach our target market. Because our software is cloud based, a strong online presence was important for us to reach the right audience and finding the right platforms was key to enabling that kind of precise targeting.” In addition to raising brand awareness, Borttoff also sought to drive targeted traffic to the MyCase website.
- Marketing/training notes: Product: Sponsored Updates As a global leader in digital marketing and digital media solutions, Adobe’s tools and services allow customers to create groundbreaking digital content, deploy it across media and devices, and measure and optimize it over time. Using LinkedIn’s Sponsored Updates, Adobe shared relevant content in the LinkedIn feed targeted at marketing executives, significantly increasing their awareness for Adobe’s digital marketing solutions. Challenge Adobe wanted to further establish itself as a leader in digital marketing and raise awareness for its digital marketing solutions. To do this, Adobe needed a relevant channel to share thought leadership content and expertise with its target audience -- marketing decision makers.
- Down the funnel Great for sharing content, in the feed, where people are most engaged Across desktop, tablet and smartphone. Upper funnel and lower funnel objectives
- Once you find the content, let’s talk about what are some of the best practices so that you can capture your audience’s attention? Strong visuals: a picture is worth a thousand words. Make sure you use the paperclip function to upload a new image so that you can put the most attention grabbing image that matches your content. We find that recognized leaders, colorful images work really well and drive CTR substantially Addressing your audience directly such as hey enterpreneurs or starting with a question is a great way to engage your audience right away and also customize your message to your audience. Being concise in your update is also very important – we see that especially for the introduction text, 140 characters or less works the best And finally the type of content really matters: two tips here: snackable content, lists, industry insights are always great way to engage your audience on LinkedIn. But also think about matching your content to your marketing objective. If you are looking to create brand awareness for instance you probably do not want to lead the audience to a whitepaper but maybe a lighter version of the research And don’t forget to use Direct Sponosred Content to test what works for your audience – best way to know how to appeal to your audience is to test and iterate
- Now that you’ve seen the effectiveness of Content Marketing, let me show you how easy it is to set up a Sponsored Update on LinkedIn. There are 3 steps to identifying and sponsoring content on LinkedIn. First, set up a company page if you haven’t already. You can also sponsor Sponsored Updates from a Showcase page, if you have one. After you’ve done that, assign a company page admin who will post content. This person will be responsible for crafting and editing your content. This role could be separate from your Campaign manager, who will manage and publish your Sponsored Updates campaigns. The third step is to organize your content. As Selin mentioned, it’s important to have content that resonates with the audience. Make sure to line up all the content you want to publish, and then ready an Editorial Calendar. This calendar would make up all the content you want to publish over the course of your campaign, whether that’s a couple weeks or a couple months.
- Now that Phil walked us through step by step how to set up Sponsored Updates or Direct Sponsored Content let’s talk about tips for success One of the biggest questions we get asked is – I don’t have enough content to get started and when we dive into our client’s website we actually see a lot of rich content that can kickstart their Sponsored Updates campaigns. A great place to start is your company page. Your PR team, insights/research teams are probably busy at work creating quality content that can be great nuggets to share with your target customer. We find that looking at your company blog, internal resources (e.g. research department), PR section of the website can be great places to find content your company is already produced – ready to take to a broader audience
- Marketing/training notes: Product: Sponsored Updates 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 Updates 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 Updates, 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.”
- As we now move firmly into the lower half of the funnel where direct response goals reign supreme, 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 getting the attention of the audiences they care about on by delivering targeted, personalized messages right into their LInkedIn inbox.
- During testing we saw upwards of 40% average open rates! Inbox one of the most per
- Keep it short: 308 words, the shorter the better while communicating core purpose of the message. Match the flow and context of the message, so they understand what’s in it for them. A member will see the “from”, subject line and desctiption in the hover over and inbox view. Make it count!

- Our blog is the centerpiece Blog gets leveraged in these channels, and we use it to feed a lot of the content in our sponsored updates
- We aim to develop on ‘big rock’ per quarter, that will drive a lot of lead gen and can be carved up into smaller, snackable pieces to extend the shelf life. This was the dream of Jason Miller our content marketer who we hired last year, and it drove 40% of all leads in Q1, Q2 and Q3.
- I mentioned turkey slices on the previous slide, here’s how we carved up the Sophisticated Guide
- Showcase pages are extensions of the Company Page designed for spotlighting a brand, business unit, or initiative
