Hong Kong's Top LinkedIn Influencers in 2026

Jan 18, 2026

A lot has changed for LinkedIn during the past year, and the most notable change has been the release of LinkedIn's latest 360Brew algorithm which had major impact on traditional influencers and Top Voices on the platform -- mostly having the effect of reducing organic impressions and reach.

So who are the Top LinkedIn Influencers in 2026? Most are familiar names, but some are new, and several have gone quiet. Since measuring impressions is more challenging than ever, this year we're going to rank Hong Kong influencers based on:

  • Favikon Scores

  • Follower Count

  • Engagement

  • Our own proprietary adjustments

Top 20 Signalworks Rank

Our proprietary Signalworks scoring is the most accurate method to rank LinkedIn Influencers. While many often refer to Favikon scores, it's greatest known flaw is its wildly inaccurate estimates of views. Second, it ranks influencers based on only the past 30 days activities, which means it completely missed the mark on at least Sonia Cheng of Rosewood Hotels. Third, it sometimes completely misses key influencers such as Poman Lo of Regal Hotels, who is a Top Voice badge holder, as well as missing data for David Liao of HSBC. Forth, Favikon does not reduce scores for fake followers and engagement or other methods of gaming the system.

Top 20 by Follower Count

The oldest vanity metric in all it's glory. Here are Hong Kong's Top LinkedIn influencers in 2026 by Follower Count.


Top 20 by Engagement (Source Favikon)

While external sources cannot determine the impressions or even better some type of conversion, Favikon does track Likes and uses that to estimates impressions which it calls Views. But the formula for impressions appears to be function of Likes, and has been reported to be wildly inaccurate so we're only going to look at Likes. For influencers who Favikon skipped or missed, we manually calculated their 1 month activity, and for Sonia Cheng of Rosewood Hotels, we calculated her last month activity instead.

Methodology

Three key articles were used to start the creation of the list.

  1. Top 20 LinkedIn Influencers in Hong Kong in 2025 by Rosie Renna

  2. Top 50 Creators in HK!! by Bob Low

  3. Top LinkedIn Voices Hong Kong 2025 by Eric Pong

From those lists, individuals who were no longer based in Hong Kong were removed. Poman Lo , a well known Top Voice badge holder was added. Favikon scores and Follower counts were manually verified. Finally we used our own methods to factor in follower and engagement pod effects.
