At every in-person spring and fall in-person meeting since 2020, I have heralded the end of your networking breaks by presenting Marketing Minutes – 22 in total to date. Covering everything from the basics of how to make changes to your profile on LinkedIn and the purpose and use of @-mentions and hashtags, to the more advanced topics of branding – both corporate and personal - as well as employee advocacy, we have all further developed our understanding about social marketing as it pertains to industrial and high-tech business-to-business marketplace.

Continuing on our Spring Meeting 2024 theme of being Better Stronger Bolder with AHTD, today’s Marketing Minute is about making the most of these Marketing Minutes!

We are ALL things to ALL people… …just NOT at the same time!

In our personal lives, some of us are parents AND children, aunts and nieces, and cousins and siblings, and in our professional life, it’s the same! We could be an employer AND an employee… a seller and a customer… even a potential hire and an interviewer. Your LinkedIn profile should show all of that!

Make sure YOUR profile shows your many sides!

In addition to your multiple ROLES, the platform serves multiple PURPOSES for different people, so, all the more reason to make sure your profile and activity shows your many sides. When you make the next round of updates to your profile and activities, keep these multiple roles and purposes in mind and make sure to show the WHOLE you, what you know, and what you are interested in learning, and you will deepen your connections as they learn to know you better!
