From Industry Experts to Content Innovators

An engineering consulting firm previously used LinkedIn as a repost and reshare hub, with little to no original content or thought leadership. It was looking to expand the reach of the brand while showcasing its expertise in the industry. Here’s how it worked. 

Expertise in Need of an Amplifier

As the longest-serving pipeline engineering firm in Michigan, the client had unparallel expertise. Unfortunately, the efforts on LinkedIn had been limited to reposting others’ thought leadership articles and expertise, which did not highlight the firm’s own experience and on-staff subject matter experts (SMEs). In addition, the firm noticed that while it was well-known locally, it needed to expand its market nationally.  

Through an investment in marketing, the firm knew it wanted to accomplish the following objectives: 

  • Increase brand awareness through social media by leveraging expertise and high-quality content, both new and previously created 
  • See a significant increase in reach on LinkedIn, as shown by an increase in monthly impressions from 24/month to 100/month on LinkedIn in 6 months 
  • Engage an active audience on LinkedIn, as shown by a 0.5% increase in engagement rate  

Firm Foundation for Future Success 

The firm had plenty of case studies, resources, blog articles, and eBooks created and published on the website. Using this previously created content, a resource-efficient LinkedIn plan could be activated to save time and costs while also achieving the client’s objective.  

Creating a LinkedIn for the Experts 

A key part of the content strategy was micro-blogging, and project showcases that focused on the firm’s clients’ successes. Micro-blogs are short-form blog posts published on social media channels that focus on educating the audience quickly in an engaging way. This format is an excellent content option for re-using already created content in a new presentation. The project showcases feature photos from a client project and write-ups about the experience.
