As Covid-19 caused job losses on a historic scale, few employment resources have been as critical to as many people as LinkedIn. On this final episode of On Brand for 2020, chief marketing and communications officer Mel Selcher tells us what this remarkable time has been like inside LinkedIn, how its new brand campaign reflects the tenor of the times, and how the platform’s efforts over many years to make a more emotional (not just functional) connection with users is really paying dividends now.
