Companies trying to encourage team members to post online can leverage LinkedIn collaborative posts, which allow up to five co-authors or company pages. Co-authoring posts incentivizes employees by helping them build their personal followings while distributing content across multiple feeds. Because it is not classified as sponsored content, brands gain higher organic reach and visibility.
A creator can partner with a brand, tag their own business page in the sponsored post, and then use the ad platform to amplify it. This allows the creator to guarantee a specific number of impressions, turning organic reach into a predictable, high-value metric for brand partners.
Relying on a single executive for social presence is a missed opportunity. Training all employees to share insights creates a collective reach that generates more leads, attracts better talent, and builds a more authentic company brand.
Don't dismiss LinkedIn as just for B2B. Its organic reach is powerful and underleveraged. Users are in a business-focused mindset, making them receptive to a different style of content than on entertainment-driven platforms, creating a unique opportunity for brand distribution.
Encouraging employees to create brand content online can be challenging. By co-authoring updates via LinkedIn's collaborative posts—which support up to five co-authors or company pages—posts appear across both audiences simultaneously without being marked as sponsored. This expands reach for the company while directly helping team members grow their professional followings.
According to LinkedIn, personal profiles get significantly more reach than company pages. Businesses should shift focus from solely posting on their brand page to empowering and encouraging employees to build their personal brands and share content, amplifying overall visibility.
Traditional company page posts and employee reshares get minimal reach. The new collaborative post feature allows multiple profiles and pages to co-author content, effectively tapping into each collaborator's audience and boosting distribution, making it a key future tactic for B2B brands.
To signal importance to LinkedIn's algorithm, save your own post about ten minutes after it goes live. Then, use the send feature to share it with about 10 people in your network. This 'cheesy' but effective tactic can significantly increase your post's overall engagement and reach.
While LinkedIn can suppress posts with a single external link, creating a "resource post" with 4-5 curated links (e.g., a Miro board, article roundup) is rewarded by the algorithm. These posts generate high-value signals like saves and shares, leading to better reach than standard posts.
Encourage employees to "build in public" and share their work. This builds authentic trust and connection with customers in a way that corporate accounts or paid ads cannot. It turns your entire team into a powerful, organic marketing engine.
Whenever a platform rolls out a new capability, such as LinkedIn's collaborative posts, marketers should immediately test and adopt it. Platforms deliberately boost and circulate content that utilizes their newest features more aggressively in feeds to prove value to early testers and encourage wider adoption across the network.
