To build readership for Perspectives, ThoughtWorks had to break through the noisy content landscape. They needed a social strategy to generate awareness, search intent and lead generation.

• Alongside an overarching content strategy encompassing topics that resonate with business and technology executives, ThoughtWorks used LinkedIn's Audience Targeting prowess to promote the campaign and attract audiences based on job roles and company titles
• By driving an Intent-based Search Result, they discovered the prospects that resonated with the topics covered in each publication. It helped them nurture stronger quality and quantity of leads
• Already established as practical thought leaders with actionable advice to offer, they used LinkedIn's Lead Gen Forms to generate quality leads

A holistic content strategy, coupled with LinkedIn's targeting capabilities helped ThoughtWorks increase its relevance amongst prospective readers.
