We’ve managed hundreds of LinkedIn ad campaigns, and here’s the thing – the standard reporting just isn’t cutting it anymore. Sure, LinkedIn’s Campaign Manager gives you the basics, but whether you’re working with a limited budget that needs to deliver ROI or spending serious money that demands accountability, you need to know what’s actually happening under the hood.
That’s exactly why we built DemandSense. This isn’t just another analytics tool – this is the missing piece that’s been keeping B2B marketers up at night. Let us show you what we mean.

This is pretty revolutionary stuff. With DemandSense, you’re getting:
- Hour-by-hour performance tracking (yeah, FINALLY)
- Deep dives into your cost per click and CTRs when they actually matter
- Desktop vs. mobile breakdowns that’ll make you rethink your targeting

- A way to stop burning money while your prospects are sleeping
