LinkedIn is more like a professional social media platform with not much users and active work like the other peers as Facebook, and Twitter, etc. have. However, spending some time on LinkedIn can also be phenomenal for strengthening the professional relationships and can help you find some talent for your organization.

Do add different projects that you have worked on and completed. Whether it be a campaign, research report or maybe a social responsibility program. Make sure that the information you put in is correct, and you are directly associated with the projects because your profile will be public and you shouldn't be adding such projects where you didn't play any part, and just your company or organization did it.
