## Resource

Most corporate LinkedIn strategies underperform because social teams are brought in too late. In this episode, Michelle J Raymond speaks with Melissa Dawson from WD about what high-performing corporate social on LinkedIn actually looks like inside large organisations. They explore why treating social media as a distribution channel rather than a strategic partner limits results. Topics include corporate social strategy, LinkedIn marketing for B2B, employee advocacy, organic and paid LinkedIn strategies, and how marketing teams can better align campaigns with social from the start.
