5. Brand Awareness
Facebook LinkedIn
Brand Awareness is about the emotional and visual connection to
a company’s core values and products.
Facebook
Images, Cover Photos, App Images –
Highly Visual; Easier to create “Emotion”
LinkedIn
More “personal” – Business leader becomes the
“Brand”
*Note – It’s significantly harder to get “Followers” on a LinkedIn
Company page because they are largely misunderstood!

6. Driving Traffic
Facebook LinkedIn
•Both Facebook Business Pages and LinkedIn Company pages
can easily drive traffic to a website or landing page.
•BUT on LinkedIn, what usually happens is the URL is shared on
the Company page, and then re-shared by the business owner.
That makes it “junky” for those who do follow the Company!
