LinkedIn is getting brands more involved
LinkedIn isn’t just for professionals anymore. The features from the popular social network are adding product and service recommendations to company pages.
The products tab is the real new part of this equation. Brands have a lot of ability to customize this tab so interested parties can get a real sense of what the brand is about.
