\u201cSocial media is not a place to shout, but a place to tell stories.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

says Jennifer N\u00fcrnberger, senior consultant for storytelling on social media and in PR at Mashup Communications.<\/h6>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

Nowhere is this more evident than on LinkedIn \u2014 the digital stage where brands and people dance for attention.<\/p>\n\n

But who is really in charge? Are company profiles with corporate branding, CI-compliant graphics, and hashtag strategies still necessary? Or are corporate influencers, with coffee in hand, earnest expressions, and \u201cLet me be honest…\u201d posts, winning over the algorithm? <\/p>\n\n

Clear the Stage: Company or Person?<\/h2>\n\n

Both are part of the show, but they play very different roles in the big LinkedIn circus.<\/p>\n\n

The company profile is the experienced animal trainer: disciplined, confident, trained to deliver clear messages. It keeps brand values firmly under control, juggles KPIs, and ensures the perfect appearance with flags flying in corporate colors. Performance is predictable, professional \u2014b ut sometimes also predictable. <\/p>\n\n

Corporate influencers, on the other hand, are artists walking a tightrope: a little daring, sometimes improvising, but always genuine. They show attitude, personality, and emotion. In doing so, they also risk stumbling at times. That takes courage and makes them human. While the company profile builds reach through campaigns and content strategy, influencers gain trust through personal insights, relatable stories, and their expertise in a specific topic or industry. In short, the company profile provides the framework for the show, while corporate influencers make sure the audience really applauds. <\/p>\n\n

\u201cCompanies provide the structure, people provide the soul. Together, they make the perfect mix.\u201d <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Successful Examples from the LinkedIn Universe<\/h2>\n\n

Storytelling at its best: the nu company<\/em><\/h6>\n\n

The nu company \u2014 the Leipzig-based startup behind nucao <\/em>\u2014s hows how good LinkedIn storytelling works. Instead of mere product PR, they serve up attitude, humor, and chocolate all in one. <\/p>\n\n

Your content doesn’t tell an advertising story, but rather a movement: against single-use packaging, for fair cocoa prices, and genuine enjoyment with a clear conscience. Every post is part of a larger narrative \u2013 \u201cWe are changing the chocolate industry\u201d \u2013 and that is precisely what makes the brand recognizable. <\/p>\n\n

What makes them particularly strong is that they combine social issues with everyday moments. When the team welcomes a new CMO, it doesn’t result in a press release, but rather a little scene from the office with insider humor and genuine enthusiasm. This comes across as friendly and approachable, and is also excellent for employer branding. <\/p>\n\n

This is how the nu company<\/em> manages to communicate what many brands forget: not what they do, but why they do it.<\/p>\n\n

They also always have their finger on the pulse: <\/p>\n\n
