Your organization can reach up to 63 percent of American professionals through LinkedIn marketing. With 663.3 million users, the world’s largest professional networking platform boasts a 12 percent eligible reach for the entire global adult population.
These numbers are extrapolations of January 2020 data from LinkedIn’s self-service advertising tools. LinkedIn’s advertising audience figures are based on total (registered) members, not monthly active users, so their numbers may not be directly comparable to similar data points for other platforms such as Facebook and Twitter.
Aristeen gathered most of this data from the 247-page Digital 2020 Global Digital Overview published by Hootsuite and We Are Social. The massive report highlights how consumers use the internet, mobile devices, social media and e-commerce.

March 15, 2020 at 2:23 PMWonderful. I have had LinkedIn from the earliest days… I still like it but, I don’t use it as much. It is a useful resource.

February 26, 2020 at 7:13 AMLinkedin is a very important tool for talent hunting and gathering credible information on a specific subject. Of late it has been marketing its offering aggressively which was a need of the hour for a long time so i see the reach going higher in the weeks and months to come. Nevertheless, thanks for an informative blog post. As Peepal Kothi, we try to gather B2B leads for people who are looking for a farmstay in India and the rate of conversion through Linkedin leads is higher than other social media channels.
