Reach your ideal customers on the world's largest professional network.
LET'S DIVE IN
It’s Monday at 9am. Your boss walks into your office and politely inquires about your team’s LinkedIn strategy for the quarter. You freeze. Amongst all of the content you are producing and distributing throughout all of your social channels, you might have overlooked the most powerful platform for promoting your institution to prospective students and engaging with alumni: LinkedIn.
Exemplary content creation falls flat without a solid distribution plan — we know this. And 79% of marketers believe social media is a highly effective marketing channel. But while people are spending time on other social channels, they’re investing time on LinkedIn.
In an effort to help you get your content in front of the 645 million professionals on LinkedIn, who represent the largest group of influential, affluent professionals anywhere (and to let your boss know that you’ve got this), I have created a quick LinkedIn Content Marketing Tactical Plan for you to incorporate into your integrated higher education marketing approach.
Find out what content to share with prospective students, which LinkedIn products suit your needs, and how much time you’ll spend daily or weekly to ensure your university stays in front of the students and alumni who matter most to you. Keep in mind these findings have been compiled as a result of multiple tests conducted by the LinkedIn Marketing Solutions team (including yours truly). Get ready for an inside look into how LinkedIn marketing successfully distributes content on LinkedIn. No matter what your goals are — brand awareness, thought leadership, or driving new enrollments — this plan will set you down the right path all before lunchtime. So grab another cup of coffee and let’s dive in, shall we?

"Fail to Plan, Plan to Fail"
Benjamin Franklin made a great point, which was reinforced by Content Marketing Institute's Joe Pulizzi, who recently revealed that marketers with a documented strategy report higher levels of overall content marketing success compared with those who have a verbal strategy only, or no strategy at all. And yet only 37% of marketers have a documented content marketing strategy. With numbers like that, it’s no wonder that only 20% of marketers rate their content marketing efforts as 'very successful'. #MissedOpportunity
Let’s start with 4 Planning basics to set you up for content marketing success:
1. Delegate. Ensure you have someone (or a group of people) dedicated and held responsible for each of your channels.
2. Follow university brand guidelines. Maintain open lines of communication with your university leadership and brand team to ensure your content reflects a consistent look, voice, and tone. Consider creating content guidelines which your team and other university departments can follow.
3. Look beyond your team to source content. Everyone loves a solid cross-functional partner. Encourage a steady stream of content from marketing stakeholders as well as university leadership. Also — going back to delegating above — assign someone as the gatekeeper of content across channels.
4. Build an editorial calendar. Based on your objectives, fill your calendar with a variety of top, mid, and lower funnel content to help you engage prospective students and alumni and achieve your goals.
