Let\u2019s get cracking with the first scenario and end with the second.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Find The Company Page Admin When You Aren’t With The Company<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
There are many reasons why you would want to find an admin or the original creator of a company page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you are not already an admin, LinkedIn does not display this information. However, we\u2019ll now give you our best tips on how to proceed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you’re dealing with a small company, then you don’t have much thinking to do about who you want to contact to ask for the admin details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dealing with a larger company?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
If you\u2019re dealing with a medium-to-large-sized company, the LinkedIn activities are managed by one or two departments: Human Resources and\/or Marketing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Human Resources will look after job postings. The most likely admin on the company page is the Head of Marketing or a personal assistant to that person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We advise that you look through the list of employees of the company to find the current head of marketing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Making contact within LinkedIn<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Due to the way that LinkedIn handles contacts, you may not be able to message the person directly on the LinkedIn platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We have an article on ways to connect to people on LinkedIn who are outside your network<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, those techniques can take days or longer to make LinkedIn give you new connections. You may not want to wait that long. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Read on…<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can usually figure out someone\u2019s company email from their name on LinkedIn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you are taking this route, I suggest that you jot down the names of at least five people who have a current role in marketing for this company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you are actually a connection with any of them and can send a message via LinkedIn, then contact them to ask for the detail of the page admin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Otherwise, you are guessing at the email addresses of five people to send a similar message. You may dream up a dud email for one or two, but you\u2019ll probably get one right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Have you forgotten who set up the company page? This happens a lot!<\/p>\n\n\n\n What also happens is that the person who created the page several years ago has moved on from the company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n First of all, let\u2019s explain what happened when someone created a company page. The creator becomes a Super Admin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n That person can make other admins. It\u2019s always a good idea to have a backup admin! If you are the owner of the company, then let\u2019s hope that the creator made you an admin and you\u2019re just not aware of that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So, the first thing to do is to check \u2013 here\u2019s how.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Log into your LinkedIn profile and open the company page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you are an admin, the page displays your status at the top. The display may state that you are viewing in Super Admin mode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, it\u2019s also possible to be an admin but your status is set to view the page as a normal member. In that case, you can\u2019t edit the page or see other admins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This image shows the top menu with a few menu items removed (to narrow the picture). I\u2019ve highlighted the button labeled \u201cView as admin\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you don\u2019t see this button, then you are not an administrator on the page.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Skip this if you or someone you know isn\u2019t an admin. If you actually are, then you can check who else is an admin on the page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Expand the \u201cAdmin tools\u201d menu in the top right of the page and choose \u201cmanage admins\u201d as shown below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You will see a list of the current admins, including yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you aren\u2019t an admin and believe that you should be one, then you should visit the company page and request admin access.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To do so, click the \u201cMore\u201d button under the name of the company page. This gives you the option to send a request for admin access.<\/p>\n\n\n\n People who are registered as admins will get a message containing your details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hopefully, some admin is still using LinkedIn and will grant your request. If it\u2019s granted, you get an email notification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you don\u2019t receive an email within a week, then you\u2019re probably facing the situation where the original creator of the page has left LinkedIn or moved on in other ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You now have two options to solve this problem:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Let\u2019s get into these options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You may be surprised at how common this issue is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n People move on from companies all the time and don\u2019t respond to messages from a former employer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Some companies tell the summer intern to set up the company page and forget to check that the kid set up several alternative admins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n LinkedIn gets requests to solve the issue all the time. However, you need to verify that you own the company or are a senior individual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Be sure that your experience section lists the company as your current employer. Then, double-check that your LinkedIn email is a company email address (if it\u2019s not, then make it so).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Then contact Customer Support and explain that nobody knows who the admin is and that you need the admin role.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You may have to upload some documentation for further verification, but it should be a straightforward process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Contacting Customer Support is a better option, but they can take a while to respond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Let\u2019s say that you think you know what former employee created the company page, but you can\u2019t or don\u2019t want to contact that person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When someone has moved on, you probably deleted their email address for your company. If your company\u2019s email address is still associated with the LinkedIn account, then you can recreate the email address.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now, you can send a password reminder request, log in to LinkedIn, and sort out the problem by making another person an admin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I consider that this option is only appropriate if the person is deceased.
