VENUE: The Order of Melbourne, Level 2/401 Swanston St, Melbourne

SPEAKERS: Cliff Rosenberg (Managing Director, LinkedIn, Australia/New Zealand) and Jennifer Bishop (LinkedIn Strategist for Marketing, Sales Professionals & CEOs)

LinkedIn recently clocked up 100 million members globally – locally, we have hit the two million mark in Australia.

Such scale has made LinkedIn a formidable social platform for professionals and businesses to connect and power conversations. New tools such as LinkedIn Signal are enabling professionals to gain valuable insights from their network. Businesses can use the power of recommendations in their Company Page to drive viral ‘word-of-mouth’ publicity for their products and services. Its powerful recruitment offering combined with its targeted advertising capabilities is fueling increased engagement from businesses on LinkedIn

 In this special Social Media Club Melbourne event, Cliff will talk about LinkedIn’s diverse business model, user engagement, recruitment capabilities and opportunities to promote your professional brand.  Internet marketing strategist and renowned LinkedIn specialist, Jennifer Bishop, will offer case studies and insights into how to use LinkedIn as a business marketing tool.
