Advertising Age: LinkedIn will debut its first TV commercial during the Academy Awards on Sunday. With the campaign, “You’re Closer Than You Think,” LinkedIn is looking to show how the platform can help everyone reach their potential. The commercial, which includes a voiceover by LinkedIn CEO Jeff Weiner, grew out of NASA’s decision last year to use LinkedIn to seek potential recruits for its astronaut program. LinkedIn found that a surprising 3 million members of the platform in the U.S. qualified for the openings.
