LYTT: A sevenfold increase in LinkedIn followers over 3 years

In the dynamic realm of digital marketing and talent acquisition, leveraging social media platforms is crucial for brand visibility and audience engagement. One platform that stands out for professional networking and business growth is LinkedIn.

In this blog post, I’ll share the journey of how I spearheaded a remarkable 685% growth in LYTT’s LinkedIn followers over the course of three years.

The secret? A strategic combination of personal updates, curated company content, and the powerful automation tools provided by Workable.

Building a foundation: personal updates

The journey began by recognizing the power of personal connection on LinkedIn. Instead of solely relying on corporate updates, I decided to infuse a personal touch into the content strategy.

Regular personal updates allowed me to humanize LYTT’s brand, making it relatable and approachable. By sharing my professional insights, industry experiences, and even behind-the-scenes glimpses of the LYTT team, I established a genuine connection with the audience.

Showcasing company culture: LYTT’s content

Consistent and relevant content is the backbone of any successful social media strategy. At LYTT, we recognized the importance of showcasing our company culture and values. Regularly posting content that highlighted our team’s achievements, workplace events, and industry expertise not only kept our current followers engaged but also attracted new ones.

This approach positioned LYTT as an industry thought leader and a desirable workplace, enticing professionals to become a part of our growing LinkedIn community.

Harnessing Workable’s automated emails

Workable’s suite of automated email tools became a game-changer in our pursuit of LinkedIn growth. After successfully attracting potential candidates through our job listings on Workable, we implemented automated email campaigns encouraging them to connect with LYTT on LinkedIn.

These personalized emails not only facilitated easy navigation to our LinkedIn page but also conveyed the value of staying updated on industry trends and career opportunities.

The seamless integration between Workable and LinkedIn streamlined our outreach efforts and maximized the chances of converting potential hires into engaged followers.

The results: A 685% growth in 3 years

The combined impact of personal updates, curated content, and Workable’s automated email campaigns resulted in an astounding 685% growth in LYTT’s LinkedIn followers over a span of three years.
