We have all heard the phrase “Content is King.” Companies know that creating and sharing engaging content is key to develop their brand and engage with customers, fans and targets. But when thinking about where to share this, how often is LinkedIn a part of the equation?

Many would agree that it is the most powerful professional social media platform with over 500 million users, over half of which log in on a monthly if not daily basis.
