What’s Changed, What Still Matters, and How to Get It Right
If you’re still treating LinkedIn like a glorified resume, you’re missing big opportunities.
In 2025, LinkedIn has evolved into a powerhouse for brand building, lead generation, community engagement and employer branding. Whether you’re a business owner, marketing manager or part of a B2B team, it’s time to think beyond the basics.
So what should you be doing now? Let’s break it down.
Start With a Page That Shows You Mean Business
Your LinkedIn Company Page is often someone’s first impression of your business, so make it count.
A strong logo, a sharp cover image, and a clear, compelling “About” section aren’t just nice to have anymore; they’re paramount. Ensure your page is fully completed and speaks directly to your target audience. Use the keywords your customers search for. Tell people not just what you do, but why it matters.
This isn’t just a box-ticking exercise. Pages with complete profiles receive more visibility, engagement, and better results across the board.
Don’t Just Show Up – Join the Conversation
LinkedIn’s algorithm in 2025 is hungry for real, human interaction. That means it’s not enough to post and ghost. You need to engage consistently.
That might mean:
- Sharing client wins, lessons learned, or behind-the-scenes moments
- Commenting on posts from others in your industry
- Jumping into trending discussions and adding your perspective
The trick is to be present, not just promotional. Show up as a brand with a voice and values, not just a logo.
Video, Polls and Carousels? Yes Please.
Let’s talk content.
Video remains king, especially authentic, short-form clips from team members or founders. It doesn’t need to be overly polished. A 30-second update or insight from your CEO can outperform the slickest corporate ad.
Carousels are also booming. Break down a complex idea or showcase a recent project one slide at a time. And if you want quick engagement, try a poll. People love to vote, and you get instant insight into what matters to your audience.
Turn Your Team Into Your Best Advocates
In 2025, your team’s voice carries more weight than your brand page alone. LinkedIn’s data still shows employee shares get far more engagement than company posts.
Encourage your team to share what they’re working on, celebrate milestones, or even just repost company content with their own commentary. A few simple prompts or a content calendar can make this easy and scalable.
Use Data and AI (But Don’t Forget the Human Touch)
There are more tools than ever to help you make smart content decisions: analytics dashboards, AI caption writers, and keyword trackers. Use them. But don’t rely on them blindly.
AI can help spark ideas and improve efficiency, but your best-performing posts will still come from genuine, human insights. Try a mix of scheduled posts and spontaneous thoughts.
Think Beyond Posts: Events, Newsletters and Job Listings
LinkedIn has grown up. You can now host live events, publish newsletters, and post jobs, all from your Company Page.
- Hosting a webinar? Use LinkedIn Events to drive RSVPs and build a buzz around it.
- Have regular insights to share? Launch a LinkedIn Newsletter to stay top-of-mind.
- Hiring? Use your Company Page to showcase why your culture is amazing.
All of these tools help position your brand as a thought leader and a place people want to work with and for.
Leadership Should Lead
There’s one big trend that’s exploded in the last 18 months: executive presence. When founders or leaders post their own insights, it builds trust.
Whether it’s a quick reflection on leadership, a story from their journey, a personal share or a reaction to industry news, audiences engage more when the message comes from a person, not a logo.
Encourage your execs to be visible and vocal. The payoff is huge.
Let’s Recap

- Optimise your Company Page with clear, audience-first messaging
