Attract Leads and Build Your Brand Using LinkedIn

Course Description

What is This Course About?

LinkedIn is the home to 1 billion business professionals. Almost 130 million are key business decision makers such as VPs, directors, business owners, managers, CXOs. 70% of Singapore’s population are on LinkedIn.

This is where most Fortune 500 executives actively look for valuable content for professional & corporate development. If your target audience is in the B2B space, LinkedIn is where your greatest opportunities lie. Also, many marketing professionals do not possess relevant skills for LinkedIn marketing. This gives you a career advantage over others.

This intensive 2-day LinkedIn Marketing Training Course covers the latest LinkedIn marketing strategies, frameworks and concepts. You will learn how to leverage the world’s biggest professional network for your existing business.

To reinforce the concepts, you will be participating in a blend of live exercises, group discussions, role-playing, Q&A sessions and other interactive activities.

You will create a LinkedIn campaign manager and business manager account during the course. Participants may also work on their own campaign managers. We encourage participants to have a LinkedIn profile before attending (optional).

By the end of the course, you will take away actionable strategies that will enable you to integrate LinkedIn into your marketing campaigns.
