Question: What is the reason behind using organic content as a complement of paid media?
- It is a way to substitute part of the paid media efforts with free advertising
- It increases reach among new audiences that paid media cannot reach
- It is a tool to gain the trust of potential customers exposed to paid media
Explanation
LinkedIn recommends using organic content and paid media together because they play different roles in the audience journey. Paid media expands targeted reach, while organic Page content helps validate the brand when members look for more context. A consistent LinkedIn Page presence can build credibility through useful posts, community engagement, and visible company activity. This trust layer can make paid exposure feel more connected and reliable.
Why the other options are incorrect
Free advertising is incorrect because organic content complements paid media; it is not a substitute for paid distribution.
New audiences is incorrect because paid media is the stronger tool for reaching targeted audiences beyond existing followers.
