We paired inspiration and action to close the gap between who LinkedIn was, and who the brand aspired to be.
To get credit as a brand creating possibilities, we defined new ways LinkedIn could show up as an active partner in each members' journey. We turned insights into imperatives for how internal teams should act, and built custom tools so that everyone could play a part in the change in a cohesive way.
