How to find a point of view

LinkedIn

The problem

LinkedIn had become the most popular place to search for jobs.

But as a social network, it offered much more than job listings.

Most comms, however, focused on tactical benefits:

Send 5 DMs a month. View profiles anonymously. See who else is applying for jobs.

It was lacking a narrative — a story about the ‘why’, not just the ‘what’.

The strategy

The platform offered professionals much more than features.

Being known. Being remembered. Fulfilling your own potential.

I proposed a brand narrative to remind people of that.

One that could turn tactical features into emotional benefits.

And extend endlessly, across channels and markets.
