While other social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram and TikTok receive a lot more attention, LinkedIn has continued to see record levels of engagement growth and continues to expand its user base at a steady rate.
The professional focussed social network is not as cool or trendy as other apps, with no AR masks or short-form video features. But it is now an essential element for many job seekers and HR professionals, while it’s also become an important brand-building component for people looking to establish their expertise, and connect with those in their respective industries to maximize their business opportunities.
