What LinkedIn Hashtags Say About Business in 2025
At Saint Louis Marketing, we believe the best marketing strategies begin with listening, and few places offer a clearer window into business conversations than LinkedIn. Every year, LinkedIn hashtags give us a snapshot of what’s trending across industries. But in 2025, something different is happening. While LinkedIn has recently removed real-time hashtag tracking and the ability to follow hashtags, the underlying themes remain as relevant as ever.
Here are the top 5 most-followed hashtags on LinkedIn right now, and why they matter for your business:
1. #Innovation
Businesses are under pressure to do more with less. That’s why innovation tops the list - again. But it's no longer just about cutting-edge tech. It's about creatively solving customer pain points, optimizing workflows, and adapting to rapid change. For SMEs, this might mean rethinking a product, repositioning your brand, or even just simplifying your customer onboarding process.
2. #Management
With hybrid work becoming the norm, effective management is no longer just about oversight. It's about inspiration, resilience, and clarity. Strong managers are brand assets - especially when they empower teams with data and direction. If you’re a founder or director, your leadership style is part of your marketing.
3. #HumanResources
Hiring isn’t just HR’s job anymore - it’s a marketing challenge. Your employer brand, employee experience, and recruitment strategy shape how people talk about your company (online and offline). Today’s top HR leaders are collaborating with marketing teams to build cultures that attract talent and customers alike.
4. #DigitalMarketing
No surprise here. With privacy shifts, AI integration, and platform changes, digital marketing is evolving fast. The SMEs that win are the ones who stay agile - experimenting, analyzing, and optimizing across channels. Our team at Saint Louis Marketing is helping brands do just that by marrying research with execution.
5. #Technology
Whether you're in retail, logistics, education, or real estate, you're in the tech business now. Tools, platforms, and systems aren't just support - they’re strategy. We’re seeing more SMEs invest in automation, CRM integrations, and even AI-powered tools for customer service and content creation.
