EP. 94- LinkedIn is NOW TikTok? What's Up THIS WEEK

April 2, 2024·6m

In this week's "What's Up THIS WEEK" episode, Jay Schwedelson discusses the latest marketing news and trends, including LinkedIn testing a new TikTok-style video feature, the power of using emojis in email newsletter subject lines, a study showing most marketers don't want to be in the office 5 days a week, and more. Main Discussion Points: - LinkedIn testing a dedicated video tab for short-form, full screen videos similar to TikTok. This will likely increase engagement and time spent on the platform. Marketers should start creating more short-form video content. - 28 of the 50 biggest email newsletters use emojis at the start of subject lines. This branding tactic leads to around a 15% increase in open rates. - A recent study found only 4% of marketers want to be in the office full time. Most prefer at least some remote work flexibility.
