Here are 5 tips to help you recharge your LinkedIn content strategy for business success in 2025.
Video marketing is dominating social platforms, and LinkedIn is no exception. With video content generating 1200% more shares than text and images combined, it is a must-have in every marketer’s toolkit.
Video is now the fastest growing format on LinkedIn. Total video viewership on LinkedIn is up 36% year-over-year. (October 2024) But here’s the kicker—LinkedIn’s unique offerings such as Connected TV (CTV) ads and The Wire Program are revolutionising how businesses are driving results with video content.
Leverage Connected TV (CTV) Ads
Last year, LinkedIn introduced CTV ad solutions, leveraging our unparalleled first-party data to help brands reach key decision makers and professionals where they’re already highly engaged. Our recent research found that CTV viewing is universal among LinkedIn users, with 98% watching CTV in a typical week compared to 83% who watch linear TV. With LinkedIn CTV, you can rest assured that your campaign is aligned with trusted publishers.
The Wire Program - An Exciting Look at What is Ahead
With 75% of US adults spending up to two hours a day watching short-form video content, we’re testing a new initiative that allows you to promote in-stream video ads alongside trusted publisher content – The Wire Program.
We are testing The Wire Program with a limited number of publishers, like Barron’s, Bloomberg, Business Insider, Forbes, LinkedIn News, MarketWatch, NBCUniversal, Reuters, The Wall Street Journal and Yahoo Finance to help you reach buyers who are consuming more-and-more digital video.
INSIDER TIP
- Make your videos snackable yet impactful.
- Stick to storytelling that hooks the audience within the first 10 seconds.
- Need some inspiration? Think “why,” not “how”—focus on the purpose of your brand in a way that resonates emotionally.
In an increasingly digital world, many of us are yearning for human connection more thane ever. That is why the importance of in-person and/or virtual live events will continue to soar in 2025. 71% of marketers believe that event marketing is still one of the most effective strategies for delivering qualified leads and building loyal audiences.
LinkedIn offers innovative ways to capitalise on this.
Host Live Events with LinkedIn Live Event Ads
With LinkedIn Live Video events increasing by 15.3% throughout Q4 FY24, it’s clear this format is gaining serious traction.
With LinkedIn Live Event Ads, you can promote your events before, during, and after they occur. These dynamic ads automatically adjust their messaging based on when the audience sees them. Event attendees benefit from automated reminders, and marketers can retarget registrants post-event for maximum ROI.
INSIDER TIP
Pair physical and virtual events!
Combine the power of in-person networking with the extended reach of virtual showcases.
Hosting hybrid events allows you to engage global audiences while maintaining the real-world human connection that drives conversions.
AI is not just for the tech-savvy—it’s for every marketer looking to improve their efficiency and results. A 2024 B2B Benchmark Report found that 2 in 3 marketers are already using Gen AI, which is a 20% YoY increase since 2023.
B2B marketers who have adopted AI have cited –
- increased productivity (40%)
- acceleration of content creation (39%)
- better campaign ideation (30%).
However, there is an opportunity for AI education as marketers still are not using the tech to it’s full potential.
With LinkedIn Accelerate Campaigns, you can harness the power of AI to dynamically optimise targeting, creative assets, and bidding strategies.
How accelerate works
LinkedIn Accelerate Campaigns are designed to help marketers automate campaign setup and optimise results using AI. Think of the tool as your LinkedIn AI assistant who takes the hard work out of setting up your campaigns.
From audience identification to ad creation, it provides recommendations tailored to your goals. Want to test what works best? Accelerate allows you to A/B test against classic campaigns, so you can refine your approach as you go.
INSIDER TIP
Use LinkedIn’s Accelerate to quickly create lead gen campaigns or website visits.
It is like having a smart assistant ready to craft high-converting campaigns while you handle larger strategic decisions.
I have said it before – People don’t buy companies, people buy from people. Audiences want to buy from brands that teach, inspire, and lead. The 2024 Edelman-LinkedIn B2B Thought Leadership Impact Report shared that 73% of decision makers say an organisation’s thought leadership is a more trustworthy basis for assessing its capabilities and competencies than its marketing materials and spreadsheets.
Luckily, LinkedIn remains the top platform for showcasing thought leadership, making it the perfect place to elevate your voice and reputation in your industry.
Build Brand Equity with Thought Leader Ads
LinkedIn Thought Leader Ads help amplify the reach of your key executives and industry experts. Through well-crafted posts, articles, and videos, these ads position your organisation as a credible authority and foster trust with your audience.
Content Ideas for Thought Leadership
- Share your opinions on the latest trends in your industry.
- Address common pain points your audience faces and propose actionable solutions.
- Offer thought-provoking insights backed by data.
INSIDER TIPS
Engage your community by asking them questions and responding to comments.
This adds a human element to your online presence and strengthens audience connection.
To maximise engagement, it is important to focus on the quality of comments. Longer comments have more impact. Short replies like “Great post!” don’t carry as much weight as detailed, thoughtful responses.
Threaded conversations (multiple back-and-forth replies) are gold. The more interaction within the comment section, the more LinkedIn keeps your post circulating. That is why your replies matter!
If you reply to every comment, you effectively double the engagement on your post.
Measurement is not a checkbox; it is the foundation of smart marketing. Understanding the true impact of your campaigns allows you to prove ROI, understand what’s actually working, and helps you secure a larger budget in the future.
LinkedIn offers cutting-edge measurement tools that make tracking a breeze.
LinkedIn Conversions API (CAPI)
CAPI bridges the gap between online and offline interactions, enabling you to track conversions from clicks on LinkedIn to offline engagements like in-person meetings or sales calls. Knowing exactly how each campaign performs helps optimize your marketing budget and drive meaningful outcomes.
Revenue Attribution Report (RAR)
RAR syncs your CRM data with LinkedIn Campaign Manager to connect your ad efforts directly to revenue metrics. It’s perfect for demonstrating ROI and justifying ad spend.
INSIDER TIP
Regularly review your metrics in Campaign Manager and look for trends—what’s driving the most leads or sales? Use this data to tweak future campaigns for even better results.
In Summary
The LinkedIn algorithm prioritises engagement. The more discussion on a post, the more the AI algorithm kicks in and shares content with more people inside and outside your own network.
By focusing on video content, dynamic events, AI-powered campaigns, thought leadership, and accurate measurement, you will not only reach your audience but build brand affinity and stay top of mind.
Do not stop at planning—put these strategies into action (one small step at a time) and watch your engagement soar.
