LinkedIn showcases the power of community in latest #InItTogether campaign via DDB Sydney
LinkedIn, the world’s largest professional network, has today rolled out its latest #InItTogether brand campaign via DDB Sydney, that highlights the power of community in helping professionals stay productive and find opportunities in these uncertain times.
Inspired by LinkedIn’s community giving and getting help from each other, the brand campaign features real stories of Australian LinkedIn members adapting and leaning on their networks to advance their career.
Says Shiva Kumar, head of brand marketing and communications, LinkedIn Australia and New Zealand: “In this distributed work environment, connecting with your community matters now more than ever. The brand campaign is inspired by these everyday stories of our members reaching out to connect with others, generating conversations and gaining meaningful opportunities. Small acts can make a big difference. Our hope with this campaign is that it will encourage more members to reach out and take that first step.”
The campaign features stories of Giselle Jesse who lost her job due to COVID-19 and reached out to her LinkedIn network asking if they knew of any job opportunities. Neil Edgar saw her LinkedIn post and got in touch with Giselle, which led her to secure a job at his company.
Vignesh Murugan is an astrophysicist and robotics engineer who started a business straight out of university to bring real-world solutions to the farming industry. He reached out to Emma Greenhatch who introduced him to farmers in the Queensland agricultural community and even invited him to sit on a panel amongst CSIRO advisors that helped him build his business.
LinkedIn’s #InItTogether brand campaign will go live on BVOD, social, and digital channels. It will also be promoted across LinkedIn’s official channels on LinkedIn, YouTube and Facebook.

For a while there I bet Ben Lilly thought he had a great deal buying McCann back. And I remember him saying he was up for buying other agencies and they should get in touch with him via his awesome client, LinkedIn. Was he in fact sold a pup? Did he know of all the client losses (pending or otherwise). Didn’t some of the people let go from McCann end up at DDB as well? That must have been an unpleasant surprise for LinkedIn.
Why would DDB put their name to this?
I’m pretty sure McCann only does LinkedIn’s creative work.
I don’t know what this is.
feels like a late night infomercial.
Let’s film people having fake video-conferencing calls to cheer people up during the most depressing time this century.
Did that actually take 2 CD’s, 3 creatives, a planner and a production company….wonder if there was a food truck.
I’d have sacked her for that voice. Maybe Covid was just an excuse.

Haven’t seen any of the 745 creative directors being ‘humbled’ by this opportunity on LinkedIn or Facebook recently, but looking forward to the posts soon.
Did any of the highly talented people named in the credits actually work on those films?
Can only assume this accidentally snuck into the ‘work worth PRing’ pile. Oops.
Lucky they got Revolver/Will O’Rourke to do this. Money well spent.
