Bayer LinkedIn Strategy

Algorithm /Paid/Approach Set Up

Bayer Usage: Demonstrate thought leadership, provide a window into Bayer’s culture and people, and humanize the company.

User Intent: Professional lifestyle, news and thought-leadership

LinkedIn, like other platforms, is prioritizing personal connections that are based on the individual user’s unique interests. LinkedIn accomplishes this through an algorithm that controls how users are delivered content in the newsfeed. Also, like other platforms, most users interact with content in the newsfeed, rather than by visiting business profiles.

While our platform strategy is tailored to accommodate the algorithm, most of our organic content will not be prioritized to our desired audiences automatically. A paid strategy is necessary to ensure our content is seen by the right audience and their networks. See the paid strategy section to read more. 

This algorithm works by prioritizing relevant and engaging content, based on connections to people you are connected to.

One Bayer Approach to LinkedIn

Bayer uses LinkedIn to demonstrate thought-leadership in the industry, demonstrate our commitment to transparency and highlight company culture to humanize our organization.

This is done by sharing educational, thought-provoking content that spotlights company leadership and helps the social community learn about our industries and innovations within it to engage in professional dialogue.

Target Platform Audiences

All LinkedIn page content (Company and Showcase) should target one or more of these audiences. While the main company page takes an overarching approach, showcase pages should apply their specific industry filter.
