Issue #7: Why Every Cannabis Brand Needs a LinkedIn Presence (Even If You’re Not Hiring) – PART 1

In the cannabis industry, a LinkedIn page isn’t just a profile — it’s a recruitment engine, a trust-builder, and a public proof of your credibility.
Whether you’re attracting new talent, convincing an investor, or sealing a partnership, your LinkedIn presence is often the first handshake.

But to be effective, your company page must do more than just exist.
It must clearly communicate what followers can expect, and every post must reflect your values and authenticity.

1. Recruitment Made Easy

The best people don’t just look at job ads — they check your brand. A strong LinkedIn page showcases your culture, values, and opportunities, drawing in exactly the type of people you want.
Tip: Share employee spotlights, “day in the life” posts, and behind-the-scenes content.

2. Building Trust With Partners

Before taking a meeting, partners and investors will check your page. An updated, professional presence shows you’re credible and active in the cannabis space.
Tip: Consistently share milestones, certifications, and media coverage.

3. Clear Communication Is Non-Negotiable

Followers should instantly understand what they’ll get from following your page — whether that’s industry insights, product updates, or marketing tips.
Inconsistent or scattered topics lose people.
Tip: If you run multiple business lines, create separate pages so each one stays focused.


Growing Your LinkedIn Page Organically in 2025

Unlike other platforms, LinkedIn growth is a slow roll. A post can still gain engagement days after posting. Viral posts aren’t the goal — in fact, LinkedIn actively prevents that.
The key? Consistency and quality.

📊 Benchmarks to watch:

  • An 8% engagement rate is above average

  • Your page should add ~1.5% of its audience as new followers each month


10 Proven Ways to Grow Organically:

  1. Optimize your company page – logo, cover image, keyword-rich description, clear CTA

  2. Publish high-value content – industry tips, behind-the-scenes, hiring updates, thought leadership

  3. Encourage employee advocacy – your team sharing posts expands reach

  4. Use 3–5 relevant hashtags – mix broad, niche, and branded

  5. Track analytics – measure impressions, engagement, and follower growth

  6. Engage in groups through your team – join discussions, share value

  7. Showcase client success stories – case studies build credibility

  8. Host LinkedIn Events / go live – Q&As, interviews, demos

  9. Engage with industry influencers – comment, share, collaborate

  10. Learn from success stories – e.g., JOB in CANNABIS with consistent tips, updates, and clear branding

💡 Pro tip: The best results often come from boosting your personal profile alongside your company page. Your personal account drives higher engagement, while your page acts as a content hub to prove you’re active.
