🤖 And here’s a simple guide to common AI terms.

Value-rich, format-specific content wins on LinkedIn.

With an average engagement rate of 5.20% (up YOY), it’s getting more competitive, but also more rewarding for brands that get it right.

Audiences increasingly prefer content that teaches, informs, or provides actionable insights. Native document posts (like carousels) now lead with around 7% engagement, outperforming videos, images, and text.

That said, video views have declined by roughly 36% YOY, and follower growth is slowing, especially for larger accounts. So, visibility isn’t guaranteed.

A few key takeaways:

• Educational, “saveable” content (documents, frameworks) drives the most engagement.
• Native documents and multi-image posts outperform links and text.
• Engagement is rising, but harder to earn. More creators mean more competition for attention.
• Unlike other platforms, LinkedIn is not video-first.
• Larger accounts face diminishing returns without stronger strategy.
• Brands are posting more frequently, especially visual content.

So, last May, a Boston Celtics reporter called the New York Knicks “cockroaches.”

The rivals met again on April 9, and to mark the moment, Uncommon Creative Studio made an absolute abomination.

ROACHCOAT is a transparent puffer jacket filled with live New York cockroaches.

With the tagline “You can’t kill what won’t quit,” the campaign reclaims the insult to mean relentless and unbreakable.

Sticks and stones, baby. We love a conceptual piece!
