The Rose & Rockstar: Still Thanking LinkedIn?
This week, in The Rose and Rockstar, over a cocktail, Ian and Robert discuss the apparent changes in LinkedIn from community to attention.
Share the goodness!
Welcome to The Rose and Rockstar – with the Chief Troublemaker at Seventh Bear, Robert Rose, behind the bar serving one of his splendid cocktails, while our Rockstar CMO host Ian Truscott picks his brain on a marketing topic.
This week, over a splendid seasonal cocktail, Ian and Robert discuss the apparent shift in LinkedIn from a community platform we perceive it to be to an attention-grabbing ad platform, with reported changes in the algorithm and the experience of folks with big audiences not getting the impressions they once did.
They ask if LinkedIn is still a great platform for organic reach or is now pay-to-play, and Robert shares some advice on how content needs to perform rather than depend on individual follower counts.
If you have a question for the bar or an opinion on this week’s discussion, please get in touch – just search “rockstar cmo” on the interwebs or LinkedIn.
Enjoy!
