How to announce a product launch on LinkedIn

Announce a launch on LinkedIn from the company page and from people at the same time. The company post names what launched and lists the jobs it does. The founder or team posts add personality, a story or a video. Clay and Lavender both launched Gong integrations this way, with numbered uses and a playful hook.
