LinkedIn Updates Measurement Pillars for Ads
LinkedIn has introduced new measurement updates for ads, focusing on five pillars: signals, reporting and ROI, insights, experimentation, and verification. The updates include a mix of CRM data, conversion data, reporting and ROI analysis, strategic tips with content and audience insights, experimentation options, and partnering with industry experts to ensure content is shown in the correct environments.
LinkedIn Introduces Sponsored Articles
LinkedIn now allows users to sponsor their articles, providing a more powerful way to feature resources, external links, and deeper knowledge within a newsletter-style format. This new feature enables users to shift beliefs and persuade readers, while also providing an easy opportunity for readers to subscribe to newsletters and continue engaging with the content.
Short-Form Videos and New Features on LinkedIn
LinkedIn is introducing short-form videos through a feature called 'The Daily'. Similar to stories on other social media platforms, this feature encourages interactive, scrollable short videos linked to LinkedIn Learning. While currently only available in the LinkedIn Learning app, there is potential for the feature to be expanded to the main LinkedIn app as well. Additionally, LinkedIn has added featured sections for company pages, personalized spotlights on personal profiles, increased skills available, improved search filters, and enhanced profile view insights for LinkedIn Premium users.
