It’s no secret that 2020 forced many businesses to adapt their methods of operating to be more digitally focused. With everyone required to stay at home, businesses had to find new ways of communicating and connecting with their customers. This is where, for many, social media became a key part of their overall business strategy.
One social media platform in particular that played a major role throughout the pandemic was LinkedIn. With more than 740 million active users, LinkedIn is the world’s largest professional community, and still growing! Reporting record levels of engagement this quarter, with more businesses than ever looking to connect and interact, LinkedIn has become the digital place to be for businesses.
