So what are LinkedIn Showcase Pages?

Targeting a specific item or section of your business can lead to a far more focused user experience for all those interested. While Company pages are still the comprehensive face of your business, Showcase Pages are a welcome addition to laser-target items or areas of your business you’d like to concentrate on. They’re not supposed to replace Company Pages. They work in the same way as a Company Page or indeed, a Facebook page, as you can share your best content and even post sponsored ads.

Companies for now are permitted up to ten Showcase Pages, and they are utilizing them in various, innovative ways.
