Are you looking to position your executive on social media to support company sales efforts? Or perhaps you’re looking to improve company sentiment with your executive’s online presence?
What all of these case studies illustrate is that while your digital marketing objective may be very different from other marketers, social media is a flexible tool that allows you to strategically position your company’s executive to help you achieve your goals.

Executive Social Media Resources and Insights
Last but not least, we released many new guides and executive social media insights in our Influential Executive blog, which you’re currently on right now! Here are some of the highlights from 2023:
Promote Your Executives: A Guide to LinkedIn’s Thought Leader Ads
One of the most exciting updates this year was LinkedIn officially launching thought leader ads. Most LinkedIn marketers know that they can sponsor their posts on their company’s page, but now they can also sponsor or “boost” employee posts. This is an excellent way to increase an executive’s visibility — but, there are some caveats. Be sure to read the article to learn whether or not these thought leader ads are right for your digital marketing strategy.
How To Deal With Camera-Shy Executives
Year after year, it’s clear that video is becoming one of the most important types of content on social media. It’s dynamic and engaging for viewers, and can help marketers convey key messaging — yet why don’t we see more executives using video? Some executives can be quite camera-shy, so for marketers who want their executive to share more videos on social media, check out our guide and learn how to get the conversation started with your executive (hint: it’s all about communicating the benefits and having a game plan ready).
Are Your Executive Social Media Goals Too Unrealistic?
So, you launched a social media presence for your executive. Why don’t they have a million followers yet? Let’s backtrack for a minute — is this even a realistic goal? Marketers new to executive social media may be setting goals the same way they set goals for their company’s digital marketing program. However, executive social media is completely different. Our team put together this guide to help marketers set more realistic goals.
Setting Executive Social Media Goals for 2024
Lastly, one of the latest articles we shared this year is about setting goals for next year. Whether you’re just getting started with your executive social media program or you’re looking to level up a well-established program, we’ve got you covered with different goals you’ll want to look into at different stages of your marketing strategy.
What Will The Social Media Landscape Look Like In 2024?
2023 has been an interesting year for the social media landscape. Twitter became X (though everyone is still calling it Twitter), generative AI made a huge splash and it continues to be one of the most discussed topics, and social media platforms released many updates to their features and algorithms.
With that said, we’re excited to see what comes next in 2024. And if you’re interested in strategically positioning your executive on social media, click the button below and set up a consultation in January!
