<strong>Things</strong> <strong>B2B</strong> <strong>Brands</strong> <strong>Should</strong> <strong>Understand</strong><br />
<strong>Regarding</strong> <strong>LinkedIn</strong><br />
Every time I conduct a workshop regarding <strong>B2B</strong> marketing, I get the same questions all<br />
over again. “But I belong to a <strong>B2B</strong> organization. Why is this applicable to us?” My<br />
answer to them is somewhat simple, “They’re humans too.”<br />
Let’s take a simple example.<br />
When we reach our office, we don’t put our business-to-consumer minded brains in the<br />
drawer and alter it with the conventional <strong>B2B</strong> versions bestowed to us by the HR. If that<br />
over exaggerated and dull white paper is going to put me to sleep as a B2C reader, it’s<br />
not getting my attention at all.<br />
Yes, there are significant differences between <strong>B2B</strong> and B2C marketing. To start, various<br />
stakeholders on an individual level, these two businesses have a lot of things in<br />
common.<br />
With social media booming at an immaculate speed, it has deepened the scope of the<br />
traditional conversations, allowing the users to share and discuss the content which was<br />
once restricted to the personal domain.<br />
Claire Austin, a renowned evangelist in content marketing for <strong>LinkedIn</strong> Australia<br />
believes that we people talk about a lot of things.<br />
“There was never a possibility that my parents would talk about things like the<br />
psychological aftermath of working, mindfulness, or the struggle of getting back to work<br />
after delivering a baby.”<br />
These were the things which people used to ignore and never bothered to talk about. In<br />
comparison to now, these are the things which should be discussed, and we are more<br />
than happy to talk about them.<br />

“I believe in sharing experiences, so does the people. They want to assist other people.<br />
Help them, inspire them, and most importantly, inform them.”<br />
The Highest <strong>B2B</strong> Social Media Platform – <strong>LinkedIn</strong>:<br />
<strong>LinkedIn</strong> for a long time has been observed as the conventional pinstripe to the<br />
Facebook’s Hawaiian shirt.<br />
According to the research conducted by the Content Marketing Institute, 92 percent of<br />
the marketers in <strong>B2B</strong> use social media networks to distribute their content in different<br />
parts of the world, a rate which is lesser regarding the 93 percent for the usage of email.<br />
<strong>LinkedIn</strong> is being used by almost 97 percent of the marketers who understand the social<br />
media and its worth and take social media action, resulting in double numbers in<br />
comparison to 2010.<br />
However, <strong>LinkedIn</strong> has changed a lot to what it was back in 2003 aimed at creating a<br />
platform for all the business professionals. To answer your question; yes, <strong>LinkedIn</strong> is<br />
older than Facebook, Twitter, and even MySpace. Who would have thought back then<br />
about social media platforms?<br />
<strong>LinkedIn</strong> might have started the social networking website with an aim to find different<br />
career opportunities through networking and job postings for its users, but people are<br />
not using it for just this purpose now.<br />
In today’s market, people go through the content on <strong>LinkedIn</strong> seven times more than the<br />
job postings. It’s not difficult to understand this though.<br />
For years, <strong>LinkedIn</strong> has transformed itself as a platform for publishing content,<br />
integrating and attaining other services for content like the presentation platform<br />
SlideShare, news aggregator pulse, and an online learning firm Lynda.<br />
Not Just for Campaigns:<br />
While the majority of the marketers are still using <strong>LinkedIn</strong> for searching jobs and<br />
placement, some other users are still using the social networking platform as a strategy<br />

for budgeting, time and allocation of resources, or when there is a product launch or a<br />
significant brand/product launch.<br />
It is essential than ever to be repeated on. It has been assumed that every buyer in the<br />
<strong>B2B</strong> will invest at least ten content pieces during the process of purchase. Therefore, if<br />
anyone is planning to be a part of the contemplation set or want to be in the circle of ten<br />
pieces of content, they need to be noticeable at all times.<br />
<strong>Brands</strong> which are expanding and doing well for themselves are attaining the best return<br />
on the investment and the best performance from their marketing campaigns – are the<br />
kinds of brands which are always ahead on the always-on strategy.<br />
This process is assisting the brand to build an invaluable trust and to have that<br />
anticipated leadership to have focus and start possessing key subjects or keywords and<br />
being known for different themes and topics. With this, they can layer the work with<br />
effective campaigns.<br />
