# Santa Claus has a LinkedIn account and he works with the NSPCC - Link: https://fundraising.co.uk/2014/10/15/santa-claus-linkedin-account-works-nspcc/ - Published: 2014-10-15T22:55:23+01:00 - Author: Howard Lake **With such a global workload it is no surprise that Santa Claus is making the most of digital opportunities. For example, he has a LinkedIn account.** He is of course, “MD of Christmas”, but he also finds time to operate as “CEO of Letter from Santa at the NSPCC”. Indeed, he has held that role for 16 years and one month, according to his profile. ![Santa Claus' account on LinkedIn, apparently](https://wfay6x.infiniteuploads.cloud/ 2022/12/santa-claus-linkedin-contact-mobile.jpg) Santa Claus’ account on LinkedIn, apparently. He’s certainly charitable. Funnily enough, his biography mentions the NSPCC’s fundraising campaign at length. There’s no sign of other charities that he might support, so it looks like the NSPCC digital team have been very good boys and girls this year, with a little help from the people at Amaze.com. ## Advertisement [⌊Posthub advert.

He credits Mrs Claus for introducing him to digital technology. He says: > “Last year I installed a satnav on my sleigh, and now I’m trying LinkedIn. I usually > advertise for elves in The Lapland Chronicle, but this year I’m embracing snow- > cial media”. Under **languages** he lists “all languages”. Under **causes Santa cares about** he lists quite reasonably “children”. He is of course listed as married, and his **education** took pace at North Pole University where he achieved a PhD in Christmas Cheer. He is clearly multi-talented, as many of his LinkedIn contacts will attest: ![Santa Claus' skills as listed on LinkedIn](https://wfay6x.infiniteuploads.cloud/ 2022/12/santa-claus-linkedin-skills.jpg) Santa Claus’ skills as listed on LinkedIn Just in case you thought LinkedIn might offer a short-cut to sending Santa Claus a Christmas wish-list letter, he reminds us that the NSPCC is still the best approach: ![How to contact Santa - not by LinkedIn but via NSPCC](https://wfay6x.infiniteuploads. cloud/2022/12/santa-claus-linkedin-contact.jpg) Contact Santa via the NSPCC Enjoy [Santa Claus’ presence on LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/profile/view?id=377027342) while you can. Despite his charitable intent, he might fall foul of LinkedIn’s policy on creative use of accounts.
