How to Use LinkedIn to Impact Every Stage of the Marketing FunnelLinkedIn
As a digital marketer, it can be challenging to identify the most effective mix of marketing channels to use, as well as the right technologies to support these efforts. After all, we marketers are a diverse bunch. Some of us live in a world governed by leads and conversions, while others prioritize increasing brand awareness with the right target audience. And of course, there are those who believe that impacting the entire marketing funnel is important—reaching the right people at the top of the funnel and nurturing them through the buying process until they are ready to buy.
The LinkedIn Marketing Solutions platform—comprised of Display Advertising, Sponsored Updates, Sponsored InMail, Lead Accelerator, and Text Ads—is designed precisely with these full-funnel objectives in mind.
Whether you’re a demand generation marketer focused on leads, a brand marketer looking to increase awareness with a professional audience, or perhaps a little bit of both, our portfolio has been purpose-built to help you succeed in reaching the right prospects across any long and complex purchase process. Find out how the platform can help you, no matter what your goals are.
A lot of people pose the question, "What are the most effective social media tactics?" I gathered the best answers from the experts and present them here.
While there’s a lot you could be doing, sometimes it’s hard to know which tracks to start, stop, or pause. To help you find the right mix to meet your marketing goals, we consolidated responses from the 2015 Content Marketing Benchmarks, Budgets, and Trends research report section — “Which content marketing initiatives are you working on now, and in the next 12 months?” We broke out the results as follows:
• By priority
• By business type (B2B, B2C and nonprofit)
• By geography (North America, Australia, United Kingdom)
Part I covers two “playlists”:
Internal Processes and Content Marketing Strategy Tactics. From channels to platforms to audience segmentation, learn how you can best establish your content marketing strategy and structure your team internally for more efficient processes.
Part II: Playlist 3 (coming soon) is where you can mix things up a bit with different Execution Tactics. See how to create and deliver the best content to meet your business objectives. While some geographies and business types have similar priorities, others are finding their own unique beats — and the differences may surprise you. We hope you find the following findings insightful and inspirational as you make your plans for the year ahead.
Enjoy!

"Operating in a Platform World" with Michelle Killebrew, IBMRenoTahoeAMA
As social and mobile technologies become increasingly pervasive, the opportunity to engage people in new ways is profoundly changing the way we do business. The wonders of technology are impressive, it’s true, but in order to effectively engage with people is also requiring us to look back to some of our intrinsic and ancient human qualities. Let’s explore the strategy required to create engagement in a digital world.
Michelle Killebrew is passionate about marketing, especially innovative online marketing strategies that deliver a superior brand experience – from initial acquisition through to loyal customer – and increase growth and profitability. She currently leads the go-to-market strategy for IBM Social Business, where her team focuses on messaging and solutions that define social business and demonstrate how organizations can embrace this next information revolution in the workforce.
Connect, Engage, Collaborate: Building & Sustaining an Audience in a Social W...Michelle Killebrew
Knowledge is being created and shared at unprecedented rates. People are now sharing original content, forming and joining virtual communities, organizing activities, tapping into the advice of others and sharing experiences at scale and without boundaries. This collective knowledge is enabling people to rapidly learn, act with greater confidence and influence others in entirely new ways. In fact, social is now the #1 use of the internet, with 94% using it to learn, 78% to share knowledge and 49% to engage experts. With 2 billion social connections and more than 3 billion expressions per day, it’s fueling the emergence of a knowledge economy and empowered individuals.
As social and mobile technologies become increasingly pervasive, the opportunity to engage people in new ways is profoundly changing the way we do business. With individuals expecting to engage when and how they want, organizations are tasked with encouraging and supporting collaboration for employees, customers, partners and citizens while keeping an unrelenting focus on user experience. How can they do this, while safeguarding the integrity of both the business and the brand?
In this session, we’ll discuss:
• Building a community across various channels
• How to sustain and grow your audience and advocates
• Case studies of brands doing it right

We recently surveyed 500 global business executives about what they are looking for from content providers. Simultaneously, we asked 500 marketers who participate in content creation about how they are building their content strategy. The disconnect between the two is often stark. With 93% of companies surveyed planning to maintain or increase their investment in content creation in the coming year, addressing these gaps between reader need and company strategy is critical to building a compelling content program.
Technology trends are important to any business because they define the next generation of marketing and consumer strategy. We’ll focus on the quickly evolving communication landscape and the impacts of increased consumer mobility, localization, smart machines, and the power of social. Based on six years of extensive research of over 10,000 global consumers, we've discovered seven trends that will be changing your business in the years to come. The session will equip you with the knowledge needed to understand and use tools to build a successful brand.
Social has played an essential, introductory role in brands’ digital transformation. It has shown tangible results and allowed to track change and progress.
But how can you leverage any social media operation to transcend beyond its direct impact? This webinar explores the future and evolution of content studios, from social only to full-on digital.
Today’s B2B buyer is digitally-driven, socially connected and has unlimited access to information. Marketing recognizes this shift, but Sales needs to be on board too. In this session, Jill Rowley shares why Social Selling – using social networks to build the relationships that drive revenue – is essential and how to implement it across your organization.
Why should consumers buy from you instead of your competitors or other choices, including doing zilch? In other words, what are your key differentiators or unique selling points? As more consumers use social media to reach brands,superb social customer service is becoming an important business differentiator.
Seventy-one percent of consumers who experience good customer service on social media are likely to recommend a brand based on their most recent experience, according to the 2012 State of Social Customer Service Report. And an Edison study says 32 percent of consumers expect a response on social media within 30 minutes.
These studies represent a huge opportunity for brands today. Although there are many other brands with similar features as you and doing content marketing to the hilt, superb social customer service is where most are lacking. In fact, only 10 percent of companies deliver great customer service (Help Scout). In this webinar, we'll learn the five best practices in social customer service. Please join our panel of experts to discuss:
-Identifying the vision and objectives of your brand’s social customer service
-Building a team to meet your brand’s social customer service objectives
-Creating a process for responding to negative and positive messages
-Providing your team with customer social and product history in an easy to use system
-Defining a specific, measurable social customer service differentiator
-Measuring your social customer service performance

Digital Commerce Lecture for Advanced Digital & Social Media Strategy at UCLA...Valters Lauzums
E-commerce in 2024 is characterized by a dynamic blend of opportunities and significant challenges. Supply chain disruptions and inventory shortages are critical issues, leading to increased shipping delays and rising costs, which impact timely delivery and squeeze profit margins. Efficient logistics management is essential, yet it is often hampered by these external factors. Payment processing, while needing to ensure security and user convenience, grapples with preventing fraud and integrating diverse payment methods, adding another layer of complexity. Furthermore, fulfillment operations require a streamlined approach to handle volume spikes and maintain accuracy in order picking, packing, and shipping, all while meeting customers' heightened expectations for faster delivery times.
Amid these operational challenges, customer data has emerged as an important strategy. By focusing on personalization and enhancing customer experience from historical behavior, businesses can deliver improved website and brand experienced, better product recommendations, optimal promotions, and content to meet individual preferences. Better data analytics can also help in effectively creating marketing campaigns, improving customer retention, and driving product development and inventory management.
Innovative formats such as social commerce and live shopping are beginning to impact the digital commerce landscape, offering new ways to engage with customers and drive sales, and may provide opportunity for brands that have been priced out or seen a downturn with post-pandemic shopping behavior. Social commerce integrates shopping experiences directly into social media platforms, tapping into the massive user bases of these networks to increase reach and engagement. Live shopping, on the other hand, combines entertainment and real-time interaction, providing a dynamic platform for showcasing products and encouraging immediate purchases. These innovations not only enhance customer engagement but also provide valuable data for businesses to refine their strategies and deliver superior shopping experiences.
The e-commerce sector is evolving rapidly, and businesses that effectively manage operational challenges and implement innovative strategies are best positioned for long-term success.
