Why LinkedIn Monitoring & Why Now?

LinkedIn is currently the most powerful professional social media channel for banks, both on a corporate publicity level and on a networking and development level. With more than two million users and over 55,000 companies in Greece, LinkedIn has become an integral part of every decent communication strategy. LinkedIn is not yet another social media channel, but a tool that helps brands gain publicity, strengthen their reputation and create trust.

However, simply being present at LinkedIn, without monitoring and data, is like walking in blindfold. The Analytics that LinkedIn platform includes offer important insights about owned posts, meaning your posts. However, the ability to locate all references to your brand or directly compare with competition references is limited.

 

Banks Under the Microscope

To understand how our new LinkedIn Monitoring service can prove useful for brands, we selected systemic banks for the reasons below that also apply for many professional sectors:

  • LinkedIn has turned into a fully operational marketing channel, which can autonomously support the promotion of new products or services and campaigns.
  • At the same time, LinkedIn can supplement omnichannel strategies, significantly strengthening the effectiveness of communication initiatives that are also “running” in other media (i.e., TV, printed media, digital media, PR actions).
  • Brands are constantly under the microscope. One wrong post, one negative comment or a misunderstood tone can create an avalanche of reactions.
  • PR and marketing teams are asked to quantify the effectiveness of campaigns, corporate social responsibility (CSR) actions or Thought Leadership actions, such as the participation of high-ranking executives in conferences.

Based on the above, we activated a LinkedIn Monitoring account, we selected the right keywords and we collected relevant posts (834) for a period of one month. The procedure allowed us to get data about systemic banks with the below metrics:

  • For every post containing the selected keyword: URLs, Hashtags, Reactions count, Comments count
  • For every post of a selected author: Username, Followers count, Profile image, Location

 

The Benefits of LinkedIn Monitoring

  1. Real-time monitoring of references to your brand
  • Who talks about your bank? What do they say? In what tone of voice?
  • Locating negative posts by LinkedIn users, competitors and bank employees.

Undoubtedly, LinkedIn Monitoring does not prevent publicity crises. However, it helps manage them immediately and restore the trust of your clients.

 

  1. Competitive benchmarking
  • What content of other banks causes engagement?
  • When do they publish and what format do they use (polls, videos, multi-image posts)?
  • What are the gaps that you can use in your own benefit?

With the right data always at your disposal on a Monitoring platform, you can monitor the actions of your competition and adjust your content, in order to keep up with a trend of your sector or differentiate yourselves.

 

  1. Recording Topics & Sentiment
  • How does the sentiment (positive, neutral, negative) about your brand change in the course of time?
  • What does the audience expect from your communication? What topic causes the biggest engagement? Sustainability, CSR actions, new products or new services?

Understanding what the audience finds interesting allows you to create content that increases trust, bolsters interaction and improves the total image of your brand.

 

What we monitor, plain & simple

  • Keywords: Words, phrases or hashtags that are important to you (the name of a brand, a company or a person).
  • Authors: Active LinkedIn users in Greece (more than a million users, the number is on the rise).

Greek ICT Awards 2025 at BEYOND

Greek ICT Awards 2025 at BEYOND

Athens hosted this year an institution that highlights the innovation and expertise of the Greek ICT market: the Greek ICT Awards, in the framework of the international exhibition BEYOND 2025 (4-6 April), at the Metropolitan Expo.

With a strong presence of companies, institutions and executives shaping the future of digital transformation, the awards were the focus of an institution that honours projects with impact – not only technological, but also social. From applications that harness artificial intelligence to solutions that deliver tangible results in the daily lives of organizations and citizens, the winning projects represented the present and future of digital Greece.

 

An institution with prestige and independence

The hosting of the Greek ICT Awards by BEYOND marks the aim of the exhibition to strengthen Greek technological production and give it international scope. The awards, however, are not just part of the exhibition’s programme. They operate autonomously, with an independent evaluation process under the responsibility of MetaTeam, ensuring transparency, validity and a high level of evaluation.

 

Participation with Substance

Clip News Senior Analyst Giorgos Mpolanis participated in the Greek ICT Awards 2025 Evaluation Committee, contributing with his extensive experience and deep understanding of the ICT market. According to his statements, “the evaluation process of the entries was rigorous, with full documentation, meaningful dialogue among the committee members and the final criterion of conscience and fairness”.

 

A step forward for the Greek digital space

BEYOND 2025 and the Greek ICT Awards prove that Greece has the potential, talent and creativity to stand on an equal footing on the international innovation stage. The quality of the projects that were presented and distinguished, combined with the maturity of the domestic ICT market, show that Greece is not just an “observer” of international developments – it is an active and valued player in the field of innovation.

The participation of renowned executives, the serious and well-founded evaluation, as well as the increasing institutional support, show that technological excellence in our country can be a driver of growth, enhancing extroversion and investing in human capital.
