Previously, finding out the name of a CFO or other key staff in a big corporate and getting their contact details was a time consuming and difficult process.  Now, LinkedIn makes it easier than ever to connect, engage and grow with the people who can help further your cause. Just click "connect", send your message, and the conversation has started. LinkedIn currently boasts over 610 million users worldwide in over 200 countries. What's more, of the approximately 400 million users logging in daily, only 40% of those users are producing content. There is a gap ready to be filled with cause-based organisations spreading the word of their mission, connecting and engaging with their supporters, and attracting interest from the people holding the corporate purse strings! Rodney Ferro from PN Digital will be going through the top 8 strategies to help solidify your organisations' brand, build a community of your target audience(s), strengthen your relationships with them, and utilise LinkedIn as a marketing channel to grow your supporters and partnerships.
