Interaction Analysis for Social Media Engagement Optimization (Linkedin)

Overview:

The aim of this was to perform a comprehensive interaction analysis of the past year's social media posts on LinkedIn so that I could categorize them by engagement levels and identify the factors that resonate most with the audience.

This insight was geared towards refining our content strategy and to enhance audience interaction and engagement.
