Brand & Channel Management on LinkedIn®

Use LinkedIn® as an organisational channel for Company Page management and coordinated brand activity.

A Framework by Fox Tucker

My Why Are You Really on LinkedIn®? framework is based around the simple idea: LinkedIn® becomes much easier to use when you understand what you actually need it to do for you.

My framework separates those reasons into two broad groups.

Transactional reasons: Connected to outcomes you want to achieve – across your career, commercial opportunities, promotion and demand, or the management of a brand or channel.

Intangible motivations: Things you build over time – your reputation, relationships, knowledge and growth, and contribution to others.

They are different, but they rarely operate in isolation.

Brand & Channel Management is the transactional subgroup for people responsible for an organisation’s LinkedIn® presence.

Its Primary Reason is Managing a Company Page. This is not simply a publishing task. A well-managed Page supports brand visibility, reputation, employee participation, content distribution, audience engagement and measurement.

Managing a Company Page

If this is your Primary Reason, your LinkedIn® activity should be organised around the Page as a managed business channel. That means clear ownership, a content plan, consistent standards, active management, useful analytics and a connection between the Page and the people who represent the company.

Supporting Motivators

Employee Advocacy, Trust & Influence, Industry Knowledge and Credibility can all strengthen Company Page activity. They explain why Page management often extends beyond the Page itself into employee profiles, executive visibility and participation.

This subgroup also connects directly to Leaders Social’s specialist Company Page management. Organisations can use the learning material to improve their own Page management or choose specialist support where they want the work handled for them.
