Local TV creative marketing types love to see what other stations across the country are doing.

To steal an idea perhaps, or to critique it. Maybe it’s a concept, or some great copy, seeing what others are doing around the country in markets large and small, is often how local TV creative writer/producers improve their craft.

To get an idea of what TV stations are promoting, I just look at my LinkedIn feed.

Since I have more than 15,000 connections on LinkedIn, I see much of what they post.

The advantage of sharing local TV promos from LinkedIn is that you know who posted the promo and they often include a short description about the work.

And just like when you post something to Facebook or YouTube, it’s out there in the public.

And recent Market Share columns that shared news promos from LinkedIn are among the highest viewed Market Share columns so far this year, according to Google Analytics.
