Social Media · LinkedIn

Reputation, demand and talent are won in the feed.

Nobody buys, applies or believes because of a logo. One obsession: turning LinkedIn from a posting chore into a growth engine, where pipeline, brand and people are measured in real Business Results.

LinkedIn is where your buyers, your competitors, your future hires and your whole industry gather in one place. It drives 277% + B2B leads than Facebook & X combined, and most marketers in this landscape name it their best-value paid platform. And do not let the reputation fool you: it is no longer only for B2B. If your audience has a job, they are on LinkedIn, and the trust you earn here spills into every other decision they make about you.

Why LinkedIn matters, and not only for B2B

The decision is usually made before anyone fills in a form.

Modern buying happens in the dark, in feeds, DMs and group chats you never see in your CRM. LinkedIn is where that trust is built or lost.

The decision happens before the call

Modern B2B buying is a committee sport, and most of it happens where you cannot see it. By the time someone fills in a form, they have usually already decided who they trust. And it is not only B2B: the same now plays out for consumer brands, founders and employer brands, where people quietly decide who to buy from, work for and follow, all in the same feed.

Your company page is a graveyard, the reach is in your people

Company pages now get roughly 5% of feed distribution, while personal profiles take around 65%. Employee posts earn about twice the engagement of company posts, and employee reshares travel 561% further than the page. Companies that activate their people generate up to 5x more leads, and those leads convert far more often.

Expertise wins, noise loses

The 2026 algorithm made the same pivot Instagram and TikTok made years ago: from reach to relevance. It rewards genuine expertise, frameworks and useful insight, and quietly buries clickbait, vague "broetry" and obvious self-promotion. It even weighs whether your comments actually add to the conversation.

Figures on this page come from LinkedIn and industry data, move over time, and are benchmarks rather than guaranteed outcomes.

Strategy & positioning

Most LinkedIn fails for want of a point of view worth posting.

We start with the strategy, not the calendar.

Audience

Audience and message

Who you are trying to reach, whether buyers, talent or customers, what they actually care about, and the sharp point of view that earns their attention.

Pillars

Content pillars and thesis

Frameworks and insights leaders can act on, the kind of expert-led content the 2026 algorithm and real audiences both reward.

On-brand

On-message, every time

Our Coherence check keeps every brief tied to the business objective, so executive and employee content sounds bold without going off-message.

Reach is easy. Being the brand someone remembers when the moment comes is the job.

Our advocacy engine

Executive and employee voices: your growth lives in your people.

Executive thought leadership

Founders and leaders
  • Built into credible, followed voices your market actually trusts
  • Ghostwriting and coaching that sounds like them, not like a press release

Employee advocacy, done right

Not copy-paste reshares
  • A real program, not reshares everyone ignores
  • Earns the 2x engagement and 5x lead lift advocacy can deliver

Personal branding at scale

The people who matter most
  • Consistent, human, on-brand presence
  • Across the people who move your market

A logo cannot build trust. A person can: we turn your team into your best media channel.

Content & native formats

On LinkedIn the format is part of the message.

The 2026 feed clearly favours some formats over others. We build for what actually performs.

Document carousels

The highest-engaging format on the platform, around 6.6% engagement, ideal for frameworks and breakdowns.

Native video

Around 5x the engagement of static posts, and rising fast as LinkedIn pushes video hard.

Newsletters and LinkedIn Live

Newsletters bypass the feed algorithm entirely and build a subscribed audience; Live can earn many times the reactions of a standard post.

Polls, text and in-feed articles

Used with intent, not as filler.

We do not post one thing everywhere. We pick the format that makes the point land.

LinkedIn Ads & ABM

Organic builds the trust. Paid puts it in front of the exact people you want.

We run LinkedIn paid with the same performance discipline as the rest of our media, in step with our Programmatic & Agentic team.

Real voices

Thought Leader Ads

Amplifying a real person's content, which is why they earn far higher engagement and click-through than standard company ads, often several times more.

Full toolkit

Sponsored content

Single image, document, video and conversation ads, matched to the goal.

Precision

ABM and precise targeting

Matched Audiences, account lists and the LinkedIn Audience Network to reach named accounts and buying committees, not a vague "interest" cloud.

Expensive clicks are fine when they come from the right job titles at the right companies. That is what LinkedIn does best.

Social selling & community

LinkedIn is a relationship engine, not a billboard.

The brands and people who engage, rather than broadcast, are the ones who win.

Engage

Comment and engagement strategy

Showing up usefully in the right conversations, because comment quality now drives distribution and credibility.

Enable

Social selling enablement

Equipping your sales team to build relationships and pipeline, connected to our Social Selling work and Sales Navigator. Social sellers are on track for roughly 2x the ROI of cold outreach.

Network

Community and conversation

Turning followers into a network that comments, reshares and refers.

The fastest way to be ignored on LinkedIn is to only ever talk about yourself.

AI & agentic, on a short leash

We use AI for speed, and keep a human owning the voice.

AI speeds up the grind, but LinkedIn is where "AI slop" does the most damage. A feed of identical, soulless posts is exactly where credibility goes to die.

Speed

AI for the heavy lifting

Drafting, summarizing, repurposing long content into carousels and clips, and competitive monitoring through Wise Sonar, our digital intelligence radar.

Voice

Humans for the voice

Especially for executives, where authenticity is the entire point. A leader who clearly did not write their own post fools no one.

Control

Governed, not automated

You decide the level of autonomy. The judgement and the final word stay human.

We use AI to sound sharper and move faster, never to sound like everyone else.

Frequently asked questions

The questions we hear most.

Is LinkedIn only for B2B brands?
No. LinkedIn earned its B2B reputation, and it is still the strongest B2B platform, but in 2026 it is far broader. Consumer brands use it to build credibility and reach professionals, founders and executives use it to become the face of the business, and every company uses it for employer brand and recruitment. If your audience has a job, they are on LinkedIn, and the trust you build there spills into every other decision they make about you.
Company page or personal profiles: what actually gets reach on LinkedIn in 2026?
People, by a wide margin. In 2026, company pages receive only around 5% of feed distribution while personal profiles take roughly 65%. Employee posts earn about twice the engagement of company posts, and employee reshares travel around 561% further than the page itself. So the page still matters as a credibility hub, but the real organic growth comes from executive thought leadership and employee advocacy. We build both.
How does the LinkedIn algorithm work in 2026?
It now prioritizes relevance and expertise over raw reach, the same shift Instagram and TikTok made earlier. It rewards expert-led content like frameworks, breakdowns and genuine insight, gives stronger distribution to native formats such as document carousels and video, and weighs whether comments meaningfully add to the topic. It actively reduces reach for clickbait, vague storytelling and overly promotional posts. In short, useful beats loud.
What content formats perform best on LinkedIn?
Document carousels lead, at around 6.6% average engagement, because they are ideal for frameworks and step-by-step value. Native video follows at roughly 5x the engagement of static posts and is being pushed hard by the platform. Newsletters bypass the feed algorithm and build a subscribed audience, and LinkedIn Live can earn many times the reactions of a normal post. We match the format to the message rather than posting the same thing everywhere.
What are LinkedIn Thought Leader Ads, and do they work?
Thought Leader Ads promote a real person's post rather than a brand's, which is why they consistently outperform standard company ads, with notably higher click-through and engagement rates. They work because people trust people, not logos: the ad carries the credibility of an individual voice plus the reach of paid media. We use them to amplify genuine executive and expert content to the exact accounts that matter.
What is employee advocacy, and why does it matter so much now?
Employee advocacy is activating your team to share and create content from their own profiles, where the reach actually is. It matters because employee posts earn about 2x the engagement of company posts, networks of employees generate up to 5x more leads than the page alone, and those leads convert far more often. Done badly it is copy-paste spam everyone ignores. Done well, with real coaching and good content, it becomes your most powerful organic channel.
Is LinkedIn worth it, and what is the ROI?
For B2B it is usually the single highest-value social platform, and it is increasingly valuable for consumer brands, founders and employer brand too. LinkedIn drives around 277% + B2B leads than Facebook & X combined, 58% of B2B marketers name it their top ROI platform for paid social, and 84% say it delivers the best value. The return comes from precise targeting of real people and accounts, plus the trust built through thought leadership. We measure it in pipeline, hires and reputation, not posts.
Should we use AI to write LinkedIn posts?
Use it to assist, never to replace the voice. AI is great for research, first drafts, repurposing and scheduling. But LinkedIn is where AI slop does the most harm, and audiences instantly distrust a leader who clearly did not write their own post. We use AI to move faster and sharpen thinking, then a human owns the voice, the point of view and the final word. On executive content especially, authenticity is the entire value.
Can agentic AI run our LinkedIn for us?
Partly, and only on a short leash. Agentic systems can already handle much of the grind: drafting and repurposing content, scheduling, scanning for trends, monitoring competitors, and triaging comments and DMs with first-line replies. You set the autonomy, from assisted to guardrailed. But LinkedIn is the worst place to let it run unsupervised, because executive credibility and brand trust are the whole point, and audiences spot a soulless, automated post instantly. We use agents for speed and scale, and keep a senior human owning the voice, the judgement and the final word.
How do you do social selling on LinkedIn?
Social selling is using LinkedIn to build relationships and pipeline, rather than blasting cold pitches. It means a credible profile, useful content, genuine engagement in the right conversations, and tools like Sales Navigator to find and warm the right people. Social sellers are on track for around 2x the ROI of cold outreach. We enable your sales team and connect it to our dedicated Social Selling service.
How do you measure LinkedIn ROI beyond likes?
By connecting activity to the business. Likes and impressions are early signals; the real scorecard is qualified pipeline, meetings, influenced revenue, share of voice in your category, and quality of inbound talent. We track follower and engagement growth, then tie content and ads to leads and opportunities in your CRM, so LinkedIn is judged on what it contributes, not on vanity numbers.
