Although a metric for marketing is of great importance to B2B SMEs, there is no clear metric to start from on LinkedIn. The purpose of this study is to investigate how brand awareness can be measured on the social media platform LinkedIn. The study was conducted in collaboration with the B2B company Croisette Real Estate Partner where the approach was to distribute a survey via the company's company page on LinkedIn, where the aim was to compare the degree to which a respondent could retell of two posts from Croisette's LinkedIn page and how they had interacted with the posts. Four qualitative interviews were also conducted where marketers in both the B2B and B2C sectors were asked how they measure brand awareness today. The study's findings regarding the survey concluded that most respondents were able to retell what the posts were about without having interacted with the posts. The interviews concluded that brand awareness is measured in different ways and mostly outside of social media platforms like LinkedIn. Conclusions drawn are that marketers should not limit themselves to only one metric, but that metrics such as likes, comments and shares are not the focus for measuring brand awareness effectively.
