LinkedIn Content & Engagement Strategy
Consistent, strategic LinkedIn activity compounds over time — building credibility for individuals and for Asymmetric as a whole. The core principle: consistency beats perfection. A weekly post that's good enough outperforms a polished post every three weeks.

Posting Frequency
| Goal | Frequency |
|---|---|
| Minimum viable presence | 1× per week |
| High-growth mode | 2–3× per week |
Best days: Tuesday through Thursday
Best time: ~9:00 AM local time
Posts can be scheduled natively in LinkedIn — use the timer icon in the post composer to set date and time in advance.
Content Types
1. Personal / Event Posts
Posts that include a photo of you, or document an event you attended, consistently outperform text-only or graphic-only posts. Authenticity drives engagement on LinkedIn more than polish.
Examples: Photo from a client meeting, conference attendance, team offsite.
2. Team Wins & Client Success Stories
Announce launches, milestones, and results on behalf of Asymmetric. Frame wins as team accomplishments, not individual ones — "Asymmetric launched the new Finwell website" rather than attributing to a single person.
Why it works: Promotes the client (they appreciate it), promotes Asymmetric, and gives every team member something shareable regardless of their direct involvement on the project.
Examples: New website launches, Amazon sales results, campaign performance milestones.
3. Industry Insights
Share or comment on relevant articles, trends, or takes in your area of expertise. This positions you — and Asymmetric — as a thought leader in the space.
Examples: Commentary on a marketing trend, a take on a platform algorithm change, a useful tool or resource.
4. Polls
Polls generate high engagement and are easy to produce. Use them to spark conversation around a relevant question in your field.
Engagement Tactics
Tagging Colleagues
When posting about a team win or shared project, tag relevant colleagues using @name. This surfaces the post to their networks as well, significantly expanding reach without any additional effort.
"The more people you can tag in there, other pages that you can tag, an event that you can tag, that's going to get a further reach." — Karly Oykhman
Sharing Posts
If a colleague posts a team win, sharing their post is often more effective than writing a separate post. It amplifies the original post's engagement while also giving you visibility. Recommended default for team members who weren't the primary author of a win.
Daily Engagement (5–10 min)
Spend a few minutes each morning liking and commenting on posts in your feed. This keeps your name visible and supports your network's content.
- Comments > Likes for algorithmic reach
- Likes > Nothing — don't skip engagement just because you don't have time to comment
Respond to Comments on Your Posts
Always reply to comments you receive. Each reply counts as additional engagement and signals to the algorithm that the post is active, extending its reach.
What to Avoid
- Infrequent, over-polished posts — the algorithm rewards consistency
- External links in the post body — LinkedIn deprioritizes posts that drive users off-platform; put links in the first comment if needed
- Ignoring comments — leaving comments unanswered kills momentum
- Excessive hashtags — 5–10 relevant hashtags is appropriate; avoid the old Instagram wall-of-tags approach
Hashtags
Use 5–10 relevant hashtags per post. Hashtags in posts do help with discoverability — some users follow specific hashtags on LinkedIn. Hashtags in profile headlines/titles are a different matter and their SEO value is unclear (worth researching).
Sharing Team Wins: Workflow
- The account manager or project lead posts the win (e.g., website launch, campaign result)
- They notify the team so others can engage
- Team members share or comment to amplify reach
- Everyone benefits from the expanded visibility
This is especially useful for team members who work on fewer client accounts — they can still participate in Asymmetric's LinkedIn presence by sharing and engaging with others' posts.
Why This Matters for Asymmetric
An active LinkedIn presence across the team:
- Gives prospects a credible, active company to vet when researching Asymmetric
- Creates additional touchpoints with current clients
- Positions Asymmetric as a thought leader in B2B marketing
- Expands reach into new geographic markets (beyond Wisconsin — nationally and into neighboring states)
"A lot of decision makers are on LinkedIn and will kind of vet you on LinkedIn as well." — Karly Oykhman
