Top Tips for Using LinkedIn to Build Your Client Pipeline

As a creative agency director you know how vital networking is to growing your business. LinkedIn is a powerful tool for building relationships with potential clients, collaborators, and industry leaders. But just having a profile isn’t enough – you need a strategy to turn connections into opportunities.

Here are some simple, effective tips to help you make the most of LinkedIn:

  • Optimise Your Profile
    Make sure your LinkedIn profile showcases what your agency does best. Write a compelling headline and summary that speaks directly to your target clients, and highlight your key skills and successful projects.
  • Share Valuable Content
    Posting insightful content helps position your agency as a leader in your field. Share industry trends, tips, and articles that your audience will find useful. Engage with others’ posts to build stronger relationships too.
  • Connect with Purpose
    Focus on connecting with the right people—those who can directly or indirectly help your agency grow. Always personalise your connection requests, and after connecting, send a follow-up message to start a meaningful conversation.
  • Be Consistent
    Networking on LinkedIn is a long game. Regularly engage with your network, follow up with potential leads, and avoid being too pushy. Consistency and value will build trust over time.
  • Join LinkedIn Groups
    Participate in groups relevant to your industry. This is a great way to connect with potential clients and showcase your expertise by engaging in discussions.

They also know that the new business team shouldn’t be sat within a silo, it must be fully integrated in the business of an agency to achieve its goals. It is not necessarily complacency that agencies can suffer from when seeking new business, but not refining the approach.

Here at The Hand, we’ve written before about the culture within the agency environment and the need to embrace the sales process. But we haven’t yet shared the essential tools for getting it right once the culture is addressed.
