Project description (TUM Project)

This project study explores what turns an enterprise’s own people into LinkedIn voices that measurably drive Sales, Recruiting or Employer Brand. Using Mediacharge and its enterprise clients as the case environment, it examines how earned media, meaning content published by real people rather than paid brand channels, creates business impact.

The project combines a business strategy perspective - objectives, the right people and measurable outcomes - with a content and platform perspective, focusing on talent profiles, content types, success patterns and the time it takes to build an effective voice.

Objectives of the project study

• to classify enterprise objectives for earned LinkedIn media (Sales, Recruiting, Employer Brand),

• to identify which talent profiles and content types work best for each objective,

• to derive success patterns, including what it takes and how long it takes to see results,

• to develop one strategy blueprint per objective and an impact model to measure business effect.

Main task and methodology

Students explore the topic through research, interviews and real enterprise cases (month 1), classify goals, talent profiles and success patterns (month 2), and build strategy blueprints, a final report and a pitch to Mediacharge leadership (month 3). Recommended methods include desk research, expert interviews, enterprise case analysis, benchmarking and impact modelling.
