Making the change in the working world visible
Challenge
Our world is currently in a time of great change. This change is also happening in the working world. LinkedIn encourages people to stand up for the issues that mean a lot to them and which they would like to change in the working world. However, setting up a stage for changemakers and fostering this dialogue on their own platform is not enough for LinkedIn.
Achieving change with art
Solution
As part of the Changemaker campaign, LinkedIn is launching #ConversationsForChange in real life. Featuring artists who are also engaged in change efforts. Art has always reflected current social change. Thus, a collective artwork was created at the Sony Center in Berlin as a symbol for this change. Only artists who are advocating change topics such as diversity, LGBTQ+, equality, mental health, sustainability or social inclusion were selected. The artwork, consisting of two-metre letters forming the word CHANGE, represents one of these themes.
The stimulated dialogue about the artwork and the portrayed topics led to new connections and a strong message back to the digital world. Well-known influencers supported the campaign on-site and on social media. This brought a lot of attention to the real platform in the digital sphere and inspired people to participate in the discussion about change.
