• After identifying that LinkedIn was a key network that we wanted to implement for Latitudes & Attitudes’ social media strategy, we started with creating a profile the client.• We customized the profile to include Bob’s current position information at the magazine, as well as past experiences, and websites (for the magazine, TV show, and radio show). We personalized the profile with a summary and work experience• To populate this profile, our client provided us with an extensive list of email contacts. Based on a hierarchy with industry contacts listed first, our team started inviting a number of contacts each day. • Results of populating LinkedIn: 127 connections in over a month and 3 recommendations• The next piece of the strategy will include starting a “Latitudes and Attitudes Seafaring Magazine” group and recruiting new group members to interact with and promote Latitudes and Attitudes Seafaring magazine, TV, and radio show
