LinkedIn has approximately 6.5 million South African members, with strong representation in Johannesburg, Cape Town, and Durban. The platform is the primary B2B decision-maker channel in SA -- 80% of B2B leads from social media in SA originate on LinkedIn. CPMs are 3-5x higher than Meta but the audience quality is unmatched for reaching SA procurement managers, C-suite, and business owners.
