Case Study: How RedLaurels Boosted LinkedIn Engagement by 200%+ for a European Tech Brand

In today’s digital-first world, your LinkedIn presence can either set you apart or make you invisible. For fast-growing tech companies aiming to attract top talent, build credibility, and generate leads, LinkedIn is a goldmine — but only if used strategically.
This was the case for a mid-sized B2B tech firm based in Europe (name anonymised for privacy).
​
RedLaurels partnered with the tech brand to transform their underperforming LinkedIn presence into a high-impact, high-engagement platform — increasing their brand engagement by over 200% in just 6 months.
​

​
The Challenge
​
The tech firm was doing all the "right things" — regular LinkedIn posts, company updates, team highlights — but their engagement metrics were stagnant. Despite having a growing product suite and a great company culture, they struggled with:
​
-
Low visibility among decision-makers and potential clients
-
Inconsistent messaging across leadership and company profiles
-
Poor engagement (average 1.2% engagement rate) despite high-value content
-
Lack of internal capacity to drive strategic content and storytelling
They needed a partner who could help them lead with thought, not just talk about features.
​
The RedLaurels Approach
​
Our goal was simple: Make the brand stand out as an authority in the tech space while driving authentic engagement. Here’s how we did it:
​
​
1. Executive Thought Leadership Activation
​
We worked closely with firm's C-suite — particularly the CEO and CTO — to turn their expertise into a magnet for engagement.
Using RedLaurels’ proprietary executive branding framework, we:
-
Built personal content calendars aligned with strategic themes
-
Ghostwrote high-performing posts in their authentic voice
-
Positioned them as industry thought leaders, not just company mouthpieces
2. Narrative-Driven Company Page Strategy
We restructured the brand's company page content from transactional updates to story-driven insights. This included:
-
Monthly content themes (e.g., Future of AI, Culture in Tech, Remote Innovation)
-
Value-driven posts like “lessons learned,” behind-the-scenes stories, and client wins
-
A/B testing different formats: carousels, native docs, polls, and videos
3. Engagement Engine + Community Building
Content alone doesn't drive engagement — conversations do. We helped the brand:
-
Identify and consistently engage with strategic industry voices
-
Spark conversations through well-timed comments and collaborations
-
Activate employees as brand advocates with ready-to-use post templates
