With more than 61 million senior decision-makers and business executives, LinkedIn is more than just a networking platform for working professionals. Incorporating social media collaboration tools can enhance engagement and productivity among these users. Almost 94% of B2B marketers use LinkedIn in some capacity to market their products and/or services, making it one of the leading inbound marketing avenues.
If you’ve already incorporated pay-per-click (PPC) techniques in your advertising strategy to establish your brand presence on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, or Pinterest, then adding LinkedIn to the list can be a game-changer. That said, the platform can be overwhelming for beginners or companies looking to simply test the waters, and you’d need a dedicated professional with a background in LinkedIn ads to show you the ropes. Thankfully, you don’t have to look very far. There are plenty of boutique marketing agencies backed by subject matter experts that primarily focus on helping brands make the most of LinkedIn ads.
