Takeaways

-Set realistic expectations for LinkedIn ads and understand that results may vary depending on factors such as budget, target audience, and product-market fit.

-Focus on technical aspects of LinkedIn ads configuration, such as audience targeting, matched audiences, and correct tracking implementation.

-Consider the key characteristics of companies that benefit from LinkedIn ads, including an active audience on LinkedIn, product-market fit, and the ability to convert leads into revenue.

-Train LinkedIn ads managers to understand the different levers they can pull and to think strategically about campaign execution.

-Utilize video content on LinkedIn, focusing on authenticity and short, engaging formats to capture audience attention. Apply campaign manager filters on top of retargeting audiences to filter and trim down traffic that may not be within your ideal customer profile.

-Ad fatigue can be avoided by using evergreen content in cold ad campaigns and refreshing content in retargeting campaigns when performance starts to diminish.

-If your audience is not active on LinkedIn, consider taking an omnichannel approach and using LinkedIn as part of a larger marketing strategy.

-Companies often misuse their budgets on LinkedIn ads by focusing too much on lead generation and neglecting other aspects of the customer journey.

-Thought leadership ads are important for in-feed consumption and building awareness, even if they may not generate immediate clicks or conversions.

-Rotating ads evenly can provide a better user experience by exposing the audience to different content, but it requires careful monitoring and pausing of underperforming ads.
