Bryan uses subtle ways to make his profile standout, but the key takeaway for any B2B marketer is that his information is complete, concise, and well organized as for Marketing Director Linkedin Profile

Where this profile stands out is that he joined relevant groups and even created his own, all of which are directed towards the digital marketing profession. The skills section of his profile is complete and filled with endorsements, but what takes it to the next level are skills which show character and add a little fun to the profile (see: coffee, breathing, drums). Finally, one of the most overlooked sections of LinkedIn, the projects portion, is filled out.

The best example for IT Student Linkedin Profile. The first thing that stood out for me was Alan’s cover image, which includes both branding for the organization he represents and a subtle call-to-action highlighting resources and content marketing assets. Here are couple other key takeaways to consider:

• It might be unintentional but Alan’s third party references, specifically the featured images, stand out against the supporting information very well. I’ve considered this factor when deciding what third party articles I’ve wanted to place in my experience and summary sections as well.

• Clear and concise information with bulleted lists, recommendations, and (as indicated previously) third party references.
