In the past few years, LinkedIn has become the top social media site for professionals. Users can post their resumes and connect to industry peers. Recruiters and corporate leaders can scan the site to search for potential candidates. But for creative professionals, LinkedIn has long been lacking a place to display multimedia projects, artwork, or photos.

Until now.

Just last week, LinkedIn developed a new app called the Creative Portfolio Display. This app allows creative professionals from the advertising, digital media, or film industries to showcase their portfolios more easily.

Scott Belsky, the CEO of Behance created the LinkedIn app and emphasizes the importance of using the LinkedIn portfolio as the place to display professional work alongside the professional profile. This new app allows users to display creative projects in their LinkedIn profiles after simply adding these projects to the Behance Network.

This new feature is exciting for creative professionals in the media industry. Advertising executives can now create one central portfolio on LinkedIn and the service is absolutely free, allowing users to upload an endless number of multimedia projects.
