For those not involved with the LinkedIn Digital Personnel Group, it is a platform for digital media professionals to be kept up-to-date with new opportunities, news and discussion in the digital space and also to provide a valuable networking platform.
The group has now topped 1000 members!
I would like to thank all contributors to the group, those who have added their thoughts to the discussion board, added interesting news stories and those who have utilised the job board so effectively that all members have had instant access to some great opportunities within the digital space.
The most effective part of the group though can not be physically seen on screen. I set the group up to provide the networking capabilities of a tight, solely focused digital media platform. I know from first hand experience, and comments from others, that the group has provided members with new contacts that have improved the quality of their digital media offering immeasurably.
The Digital Personnel Group has tight restrictions on how to use the platform and hopefully members have seen the benefit of this. The discussion board is to be used for discussion pieces only, all ads and LION type connection requests are removed immediately. This is not a case of being overly precious, just that there are many other groups that allow for open networking of this nature. Please add your own discussion topics as the close moderation of this facility allows members instant access to discussions that are relevant in the market right now.
The news section allows for a less moderated way to utilise the group. All I would ask is that there is a digital media theme, but be it an advertisement for your company, seminar, conference or personal blog, please feel free to use this medium. I keep the news area up to date with new articles daily so it does perform a very active part of the group experience.
Finally there is the job board. Thanks to all recruiters who are using this facility to further their reach for new positions within the digital space. Our members cover every discipline within digital so there is always likely to be an interested party, or someone who will network it out to others, so please keep this area populated with fantastic new opportunities.
