LinkedIn released the top 10 most influential brands in India, as well as around the world, on the platform. The rankings are based on LinkedIn’s Content Marketing Score, which measures the effectiveness of a company’s content marketing efforts on LinkedIn. Amongst the top 10 most influential brands globally, publishers such as The Wall-Street Journal, Financial Times and Mashable make up half of the list, underscoring the value of content in engaging customers. Some practices they all have in common which other brands can take away are:


·         They continually update users on industry news.

·         They release new and engaging content tailored to specific audiences.

·         They add their voice to relevant conversations that their audiences care about.
