LinkedIn Ads
For businesses seeking a direct line to decision-makers, LinkedIn offers unparalleled access to a professional audience. With over 15 million users in Australia, LinkedIn isn’t just another social media platform; it’s the largest professional network. Businesses advertising here can expect higher engagement rates than on other platforms and a conversion rate of 2-3%, outperforming both Facebook and Twitter for B2B activity.
LinkedIn’s focus on professional demographics makes it a hub for businesses aiming to connect with industry leaders, job-specific audiences, and niche markets. Unlike other platforms that prioritise general consumer engagement, LinkedIn is tailored for targeted B2B interactions, helping brands reach the right people at the right time.
How to Set Up a LinkedIn Ad Campaign
Getting started with LinkedIn ads is a straightforward process, thanks to its user-friendly Campaign Manager. Here’s how to launch your first campaign:
- Access Campaign Manager: Log into LinkedIn Campaign Manager, the hub for creating, managing, and analysing ad campaigns.
- Create and Organise Campaign Groups: Campaign Groups act as the backbone of your ad strategy. They let you organise campaigns by goal or audience for better management and tracking.
- Define Campaign Objectives: What do you want your audience to do? Whether it’s generating leads, driving website traffic, or increasing brand awareness, selecting the right objective tailors LinkedIn’s tools to your needs.
- Build Your Target Audience: LinkedIn’s robust targeting options enable you to refine audiences by job title, industry, skills, and even personal interests. Advanced tools like Matched Audiences let you retarget previous visitors or upload your own audience data for account-based marketing.
- Select Ad Formats: Choose from a variety of ad types, including Sponsored Content, Sponsored Messaging, or Dynamic Ads, based on your campaign goals.
- Set Budgets and Schedules: Whether you’re starting small or scaling up, LinkedIn offers flexible budgeting options. Use dynamic budgets to optimise spending across campaigns or set individual limits for precise control.
- Track Conversions: Install the LinkedIn Insight Tag on your website to monitor campaign performance and fine-tune strategies for better results.
Matching LinkedIn Ad Formats to Campaign Objectives
LinkedIn offers a suite of ad formats tailored to various campaign objectives:
Sponsored Content:
Capture audience attention with carousel, video, or single-image ads in their feed. Ideal for storytelling, brand awareness, and promoting assets like whitepapers or webinars.
Sponsored Messaging:
Engage users directly in their inboxes with Message Ads or create interactive experiences using Conversation Ads. These formats are perfect for personalised outreach or exclusive offers.
Dynamic Ads:
Automate customised creative content, such as Follower Ads and Spotlight Ads, for individual users. These are effective for increasing followers or showcasing services.
Lead Gen Forms:
Simplify the lead capture process with pre-filled forms, allowing users to express interest without leaving the ad.
