At first glance, LinkedIn might not seem so impressive. It’s smaller than other social networks and it certainly doesn’t have the largest reach. But upon closer inspection you’ll find that LinkedIn has built up a reputation as ‘the’ social media site for B2B - with 80% of social media leads coming from the professional networking site.

That’s why LinkedIn has published a guide on effective B2B marketing, that highlights some of the key elements to consider when putting together a campaign.
The following infographic highlights some key points mentioned, but the full 17 pocket guide is definitely worth a look too.
