"LinkedIn is twenty years old. Twenty! But it’s only been the last few years that it’s really started to come into its own. For years, it stagnated as a CV site, and none of us kept our CVs on there up to date. Then came the ‘brag’ era (mainly sports car pictures), closely followed by the ‘humble brag’ era. It was no wonder so many of us were put off using it for so long."

"If you are an agency owner, a director or a group leader, you’ll know how to manage costs against income for a client programme, a team or the whole firm. You will be familiar with the financial vocabulary that clients use, so you can talk to them in their own language. If you’re not so senior, this could be new territory."
