How to Start a LinkedIn Brand

Choose a profile or Company Page, complete the public details and publish your first video post.

Introduction

LinkedIn lets you publish through a personal profile or a Company Page. The right choice depends on whether the Brand is built around a person or an organisation.

Step 1: Choose a Profile or Company Page

Use a personal profile for work centred on an individual. Use a Company Page for a business, organisation or separate media Brand.

  • Sign in to LinkedIn with the account that will manage the Brand.
  • For a Company Page, open the For Business menu and choose Create a Company Page.
  • Choose the company type that fits the organisation.
  • Enter the public Brand name and confirm that you are authorised to create the Page.

Step 2: Set the Public Address and Details

Choose a public address that is easy to recognise and consistent with your other social profiles.

  • Choose the LinkedIn public address during Page setup.
  • Add the website or landing page address.
  • Select the industry and organisation size that best match the Brand.

Step 3: Add Your Profile Images and Tagline

Use clear images and a short tagline so visitors can identify the Brand quickly.

  • Add a square profile image or company logo.
  • Write a short tagline that explains what the Page publishes or provides.
  • Add a wide header image that relates to the Brand.
  • Check the images on both desktop and mobile.

Step 4: Complete the About Section

Use the About section to explain the subject, audience and purpose of the Brand.

  • Open the Page dashboard, select Edit Page and choose Overview.
  • Write a clear three or four sentence description using terms your audience would recognise.
  • Choose a main action such as Visit website or Learn more if it is useful.

Step 5: Publish Your First Video Post

Upload the video directly to LinkedIn so it plays in the feed.

  • Open the profile or Page feed and select Start a post.
  • Choose Video and select the file from your device.
  • Add a short introduction that gives the video some context.
  • Add two or three relevant hashtags if they help people find the post, then select Post.

Step 6: Plan Regular LinkedIn Posts

A useful LinkedIn video post still needs a clear subject, a script and time to edit.

BuzzExtra creates videos using the Brand choices you have saved and
can publish ready content to the connected LinkedIn identity.
