LinkedIn Profile Video Audit – Anne Thornley-Brown

August 3, 2010

This week’s winner of the video audit was Ann Thornley-Brown. Ann already has a superb profile – the only areas I really recommended tweaking were:

• Applications: Ann masterfully uses applications. My only recommendation is to use the “Slideshare” application to upload some examples of her work (including video) so that her potential executive clients could actually see and get a sense of what she does.
