NBK Social Research

Social media performance, studied at full population.

NBK Social Research publishes sector studies built the way research should be built: the complete population measured, never a sample; public data only; and metric definitions and weights locked before collection begins. The result is social media benchmarks a sector can actually argue with.

What Works on LinkedIn: 74,119 posts measured

Every public post from 346 prominent LinkedIn writers, measured by length, line rhythm, first line, format, image shape, links, hashtags, timing, cadence, subject, profile and banner. Each band is indexed against the median post and checked per follower, on comments and within the author, so the study says which habits lift a post and which only mark a big account. No author named, no post quoted.
