With video watch time on LinkedIn witnessing a significant 36% year-over-year increase and video content achieving 1.4 times more engagement than other formats, marketers should seriously consider incorporating these templates into their strategies. This shift towards video content is clearly beneficial for enhancing audience interaction. video content generating 1.4x more engagement than other formats, it’s definitely worth considering.
Moreover, LinkedIn is intensifying its focus on video, as evidenced by the rising number of overall video impressions in the app. Similar to other social media platforms, LinkedIn is now pursuing the short-form video trend popularized by TikTok, featuring a full-screen video feed that is prominently displayed in various sections of the app.
