professional members. That's over a third of
the 600 million professionals in the world, with
15 million members in the UK alone. This
represents the largest single group of
influential, affluent and educated people
anywhere.
Professional Publishing Platform
Our evolution into a professional publishing
platform drives increased engagement on
LinkedIn. Compared with other professional
publishers, content on LinkedIn works
differently. The rich data on our platform
means we can deliver the most relevant
content to our members.
Relationships Matter
With LinkedIn marketing solutions,
brands build relationships with the world’s
professionals by using accurate targeting
to deliver relevant content and
communications.
As today’s connected professionals seek out
ideas and insights from the people and
brands they trust, marketing experts use
LinkedIn to target advertising and publish
relevant content in a professional context.
Brands extend reach through social sharing
which has become a natural part of LinkedIn,
as well as by extending LinkedIn data to their
sites and brand experiences through APIs.
