Your 2025 career advice roundup

Your 2025 career advice roundup

?Ask me Anything

Q: I’ve just started a company—my business partner and I are a decorating duo—and we’re in the process of setting up our LinkedIn profiles. We plan to have our own personal profiles as well as a separate business account for the company.

What do you recommend we do specifically for the profile photo on the company account? Is it better to use a logo or a professional photo of the two of us (the team)? It seems like business accounts are designed with square formats, which might be better suited for logos rather than headshots. I’m curious about what looks more professional.

Also, when posting and engaging on LinkedIn, is it better to do so from all three accounts or mainly from the company account?
