LinkedIn is an undiscovered golden mine for many advertisers.

One thing I love about advertising on LinkedIn is how you can target by very exclusive criteria that you will not find anywhere else, such as:

  • Company growth rate – so you can reach fast-growing organizations;
  • Job Seniorities – so you can target the decision-makers and close deals quicker;
  • Job Titles – so you can focus your advertising specific to your ideal customer profile;
  • Member Skills – so you can find people with very specific skills and qualifications;
  • and more!

That’s LinkedIn’s competitive advantage—it’s the world’s largest professional networking site. LinkedIn allows you to reach more than 90 million senior-level influencers, 62 million decision-makers, and 10 million C-suite members. No other advertising platform can offer you that.

It’s one of the many reasons more than 78% of B2B marketers rate LinkedIn as the most effective social media platform at helping their organization achieve specific objectives.

Whether you’re looking to generate leads, drive website traffic, and build brand awareness, LinkedIn advertising can help you reach your business goals.
