Advanced technologies and the possibilities of data have caused B2B customers to expect higher quality, customised content and engagement online. That is why Refinitiv turned to LinkedIn to ensure that their social media strategy engages the desired audience in more comprehensive ways than just top-of-the-funnel awareness.

Refinitiv used Sponsored Content to deliver thought leadership content to wider and more relevant audiences on LinkedIn.
