LinkedIn Features

    While many see LinkedIn as a personal social media platform it offers a variety of features designed to help both businesses and professionals build their brand, connect with their audience and generate leads. Here's some key features that LinkedIn offers and how they help promote businesses and professionals. 

    At the core of LinkedIn’s offerings is the Company Page, which acts as a digital storefront for organizations. Businesses can optimize their pages by providing detailed company information, high-quality visuals and a compelling description of their products and services. This helps establish credibility and make a strong first impression on potential followers and customers.

    Another powerful feature is LinkedIn Content Publishing, which enables users to share industry insights, company updates and thought leadership articles. Posts can include text, images, videos and even documents to engage different audiences. The platform’s algorithm favors engaging content, so companies that consistently provide valuable, insightful posts can improve visibility and attract more followers. For businesses looking to expand their reach, LinkedIn Advertising offers various options, including sponsored posts, text ads and dynamic ads that target specific demographics based on job title, industry or company size. 

    Additionally, LinkedIn Groups provide a space for professionals to engage in discussions, share knowledge and network with peers. Companies can participate in existing groups or create their own to build a community around their brand. This fosters trust and positions businesses as authorities in their respective fields.

    Employee advocacy is another critical aspect of LinkedIn marketing. By encouraging employees to update their profiles, share company content and engage with posts, businesses can significantly expand their organic reach. Employees who actively participate in discussions and share company updates help humanize the brand and attract more attention from potential customers and partners.

    Lastly, LinkedIn Analytics plays a crucial role in tracking performance and optimizing marketing efforts. The platform provides data on engagement, follower demographics and content performance, allowing businesses to refine their strategy based on what resonates most with their audience.

    By leveraging these features effectively, businesses can maximize their presence on LinkedIn, increase brand awareness and drive meaningful connections within their industry. What's your favorite feature of LinkedIn?

Tis' the Season to Polar Bear Up!

    It feels like this break has been a lifetime long. Between getting my wisdom teeth removed and constantly working on nationals prep for the spring, I really packed as much into those short weeks as possible. Now it's January and we're already back to school. While some of my classes are a little nerve wracking...musicianship I'm talking about you...I'm excited to see what this semester has in store. I really missed seeing everyone on campus, so despite the cold I couldn't wait to get the day started!      Going into this semester I have a vision filled with goals, so I figured it was time for a little "carpe diem" if you will. One of my biggest goals is creating a routine that gives me plenty of time to complete work while also keeping my sleep schedule intact. While 6 a.m. is an early wakeup call, I know it'll pay off in the long run if I keep at it. Another goal outside of school is ensuring I'm taking time to prep for nationals so I can tr...

All Things Miss Teen Volunteer America Prep!

  In less than two weeks I’ll be heading to Jackson, Tennessee to compete for the job of Miss Teen Volunteer America. It’s hard to believe that my journey to the national stage started back in May of last year, but seeing the growth I’ve had is truly a blessing. Now, if you have no experience in pageants you’re probably wondering what goes into preparing for a state pageant let alone a national stage, so I want to share all of the behind the scenes details.  Before I dissect how I have to prepare for each phase of competition, I need to explain our phases of competition. The Miss Volunteer America Organization is a national scholarship program that seeks service minded individuals who are ready to change the world. We are nationally partnered with The Salvation Army and St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, so promoting the missions of these organizations is a priority for every titleholder. Now to obtain the national title each contestant competes in four phases of compe...

"So Long Dearie"

    This weekend we officially wrapped “Hello, Dolly!” and I couldn’t be more grateful for the experience. I never imagined I would make my Ohio Northern musical debut in my freshman year, but I’m so thankful for the opportunity. While I’ve had my own tumultuous history with “Hello, Dolly!” as I mentioned in my last post, this show was nothing but a joy. Here are some highlights from tech week, the performances and strike. Corsets and Hair Galore      If you’ve watched Dance Moms, you might know about the famous rat and snood from one of their dances. Fun fact: for those of us who didn’t wear wigs, we had to use rats to shape our hair into period-accurate styles. I’ll admit, without the hats and dresses the hairstyle looked a bit like Preminger from Barbie as the Princess and the Pauper (as seen in the recent TikTok trends), but once you’re in full costume, it fits. Another thing you might not know from the audience is that underneath the layers of cost...
