Abstract

This report presents a data analysis of the LinkedIn marketing efforts of the Paul English Applied Artificial Intelligence Institute (PEAAII) at the University of Massachusetts Boston. The analysis examines follower growth trends, audience demographics, engagement patterns, and content performance between February and April 2026. Findings highlight significant organic growth driven primarily by AI Workshop Series and event-related content, along with increased visibility through reposts and audience engagement. The report also identifies opportunities to expand reach through consistent posting, collaborations, interactive AI content, and broader community engagement initiatives. Recommendations are provided to support continued audience growth and strengthen the Institute’s digital impact and outreach efforts.
