20 Proven LinkedIn Banner Image Examples

Your LinkedIn banner image is the first thing people see when they visit your profile. Much like a shop window, it should be compelling, clear, and visual.

Here are 3 key banner elements to consider:

• Value proposition – i.e. what you offer, who it’s for, the key benefit, and how it’s different
• Social proof – e.g. eminent clients, media features, subscriber counts, business results
• Call to action – i.e. the next logical step you want profile visitors to take

You can also use your banner to draw attention to:

• A content resource (e.g. a lead magnet for email capture)
• An upcoming event or product
• An email newsletter, or
• A limited time offer
