Summary: In this episode of The LinkedIn Ads Show , host AJ Wilcox sits down with Adam Robinson, founder of RB2B.com , to discuss the hot (and surprisingly free) trend of website visitor identification —what it is, how it works, and how B2B marketers can use it to level up their LinkedIn Ads strategy. Adam shares how RB2B helps marketers identify individual website visitors—complete with LinkedIn profiles, emails, and more—and how this signal can be used for lead generation, retargeting, and enhanced CRM workflows. Together, AJ and Adam walk through a real case study where just $200 in LinkedIn ad spend drove a 1,478% spike in traffic and real pipeline results. The episode also takes a valuable detour into organic content and personal branding, offering gold-level insight on how to find your voice on LinkedIn, what makes a "banger" post, and why authenticity trumps polish. Key Takeaways: Visitor identification is a powerful signal—not a silver bullet Knowing exactly who is on your site gives your sales and marketing teams an edge—but it needs to be used thoughtfully and with context. Use CRM integration to turn raw identity into smart outreach When integrated with tools like HubSpot or Salesforce, visitor identity can trigger customized workflows based on your defined ICP and buyer journey stage. Thought leadership ads can drive high-impact, low-cost traffic Combine high-performing organic posts with paid amplification, and use tools like RB2B to retarget visitors across channels—even without cookies. Final Thoughts + Call to Action AJ wraps up by urging listeners to get RB2B's free plan installed on their site immediately, emphasizing how it helps verify targeting, improve retargeting, and amplify the effectiveness of every marketing channel.

Rate/Review: a great, no-cost way to support us Summary: The Power of Benchmarks in LinkedIn Advertising & Sales In this episode of The LinkedIn Ads Show , host AJ Wilcox welcomes Ruby James from LinkedIn to discuss one of the most valuable benchmark reports available for B2B startups— Growth Benchmarks for Scaling B2B Startups . Unlike traditional benchmarks that focus solely on marketing performance, this report integrates both marketing and sales metrics, offering a holistic view of what success looks like for startups. Key Takeaways: The Evolution of Measurement in B2B Marketing The top-performing startups are measuring marketing success beyond lead generation, focusing on sales metrics like meetings booked, opportunities created, and revenue closed. Sales and marketing are increasingly aligned, with some companies merging them into a single "Revenue Team" to eliminate attribution battles. The Growing Impact of Executive Thought Leadership Startups that integrate executive and industry thought leadership into their content strategy see higher engagement rates and stronger conversion rates through the funnel. Data shows that retargeting audiences who saw thought leadership ads converted 45% more frequently than those who only saw traditional brand ads. Low-lift, high-impact content (such as quick takes from executives) performs better than highly produced videos. The Shift to an ABM (Account-Based Marketing) Strategy Early-stage startups have increased ABM adoption by 30% in just two years. More companies are leveraging LinkedIn’s ABM tools, dynamically integrating CRM data and intent signals from platforms like G2 to refine their targeting. Successful startups focus on pipeline acceleration campaigns, ensuring they engage buying committees throughout the entire sales cycle. Reimagining the B2B Funnel The traditional marketing funnel is outdated, and leading companies are shifting to an “in-market vs. out-of-market” approach (based on LinkedIn’s 95-5 rule). Companies that engage early in the buyer’s journey (before prospects enter the market) are more likely to be on their final shortlist when they’re ready to buy. The "Measurement Gold Rush" Startups are investing in advanced measurement solutions (e.g., HockeyStack, Factors AI, Dreamdata) to track multi-touch attribution and incrementality. The mindset is shifting to accepting that not everything can be perfectly measured and prioritizing longer time horizons for campaign evaluation. Final Thoughts & Call to Action The full benchmark report is available in the show notes, and listeners are encouraged to read along. Ruby invites listeners to connect with her on LinkedIn for more insights and upcoming research. AJ encourages LinkedIn Ads fanatics to check out the LinkedIn Ads Fanatics community for exclusive content, courses, and coaching. This episode provides game-changing insights into LinkedIn advertising and B2B marketing strategy, especially for startups looking to scale efficiently while ensuring sales and marketing are aligned.

A great, no-cost way to support us: Rate/Review Summary: Should You Pause LinkedIn Ads Over the Holidays? In this episode of The LinkedIn Ads Show , AJ Wilcox dives into LinkedIn’s recommendation to keep ads running during the holiday season, analyzing over $185,000 in ad spend to see if the advice holds up. Key Findings: Engagement rates dropped across all major holidays (Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's), indicating lower user activity. Click-through rates saw slight improvements but not enough to justify higher costs. Cost per lead increased significantly, making conversions more expensive. Thought leader ads and video ads performed better, especially in the period between Christmas and New Year's. Thanksgiving had the best overall performance, while New Year's saw the highest video engagement. Takeaways & Recommendations: Pause single image ads and conversation ads on holidays—they generally performed worse. Resume conversation ads immediately after holidays to capitalize on higher engagement. Keep video and thought leader ads running—they showed strong performance. Be mindful of bidding strategy—manual CPC bidding helped maintain cost efficiency. AJ’s final verdict? Unless you're running video or thought leader ads, pausing your LinkedIn campaigns over the holidays is likely the smarter move. Want more insights?

A great no-cost way to support us: Rate/Review! In this episode of The LinkedIn Ads Show , host AJ Wilcox explores the evolution of LinkedIn Ads, the perception challenges it has faced, and how new advancements in measurement tools are changing the game. AJ takes a deep dive into LinkedIn’s Measurement Insights Tool, detailing its features, functionality, and how it can provide better attribution and campaign insights for B2B marketers. Key Discussion Points: The Evolution of LinkedIn Ads: LinkedIn Ads historically faced criticism for being expensive and underdeveloped compared to competitors. Recent years have seen exponential growth in platform adoption as B2B marketers recognize the unmatched targeting and traffic quality LinkedIn offers. LinkedIn's investment in advanced measurement tools is a game-changer, aiming to prove the platform's value beyond cost. Introducing the Measurement Insights Tool: Overview: LinkedIn is rolling out a new tool called the Measurement Insights Tool, accessible via the “Measurement” tab in Campaign Manager. Stages: The tool organizes data into funnel stages—Awareness, Consideration, Conversion, and Revenue—based on campaign objectives and CRM integration. Features and Insights: Performance Chart: Visualizes campaign performance metrics (e.g., impressions, clicks, cost per click, leads) over time. Company Funnel Analysis: Tracks companies through funnel stages based on engagement and CRM data. Top Performing Audiences: Identifies high-performing audience segments by seniority, job function, location, and company size. Top Performing Ads and Campaigns: Highlights ads and campaigns generating the highest results for specific objectives, though efficiency metrics are not prioritized. Advanced Attribution: LinkedIn analyzes the last 50 touchpoints (impressions and clicks) per member, allocating credit for conversions across funnel stages. The tool relies on LinkedIn-specific attribution models but encourages comparison with external attribution systems. Opportunities and Limitations: While the tool offers valuable high-level insights, it lacks the ability to drill down into specific campaigns or ads for deeper analysis. It’s a strong starting point but requires further refinement to become more actionable for advertisers. Why You Should Listen: Learn how to leverage the new Measurement Insights Tool to improve campaign strategy and attribution. Discover how LinkedIn’s advancements in AI-driven reporting are shaping the future of B2B advertising. Gain practical tips for integrating LinkedIn Ads data with your overall marketing strategy. Call to Action: Join the LinkedIn Ads Fanatics Community to connect with top advertisers, access courses, and participate in weekly group calls with AJ.

A great no-cost way to support us: Rate/Review! In this episode of The LinkedIn Ads Show , host AJ Wilcox dives into strategies for nurturing cold audiences on LinkedIn to prepare them for meaningful engagement and high-conversion offers. If you've struggled with converting cold traffic into sales-ready leads, this episode walks you through how to build a multi-stage funnel using LinkedIn Ads retargeting features. Key Discussion Points: Why Cold Audiences Need Nurturing: Most cold audiences (95%) aren’t ready to engage with sales reps or bottom-of-funnel offers. Nurturing involves multiple retargeting stages to move prospects down the funnel, warming them up to higher-friction calls to action. Building a Multi-Stage Funnel: Stage 1 (Cold Traffic): Use LinkedIn’s native audience targeting to reach cold audiences who align with your ideal customer profile. Stage 2 (First Retargeting): Retarget website visitors, company page visitors, and ad engagers from Stage 1. Apply targeting "guardrails" like seniority, job function, or industry to refine the audience. Stage 3 (Hot Traffic): Retarget prospects from Stage 2 who have engaged meaningfully. These are primed for bottom-of-funnel offers like demos or sales calls. Best Practices for Funnel Organization: Use a campaign naming convention like S01, S02, S03 to clearly identify funnel stages in your account and ensure they’re sorted alphabetically. Exclude retargeting audiences from the previous stage to avoid overlap and ensure prospects graduate down the funnel. Retargeting Audience Management: Create retargeting audiences based on specific engagements (e.g., video views, document interactions). Combine smaller audiences (e.g., website visitors + company page visitors) to ensure they hit the 300-member minimum for ads to serve. Budget Considerations: A multi-stage funnel works best with a monthly budget of $5,000 or more, though smaller budgets are possible with longer ramp-up times. Testing and Optimization: Run bottom-of-funnel offers in earlier stages as a test to gauge audience readiness. If Stage 3 doesn’t yield high conversion rates, adjust ad messaging to clearly communicate value and reduce friction. Recent LinkedIn Updates: LinkedIn Wire Beta: Advertise as pre-roll videos on high-trust publisher content like Bloomberg and Forbes. Holiday Ad Tips: Lower competition during the holidays results in reduced CPCs and CPLs, making it an opportune time to run campaigns. Pro Tips: Take advantage of seasonal or holiday-themed campaigns for better engagement. Use organic posts from company representatives to complement paid ads, especially during events.

Show Notes: Episode Summary: Key Takeaways: This episode of the LinkedIn Ads Show, hosted by AJ Wilcox, delves into the ongoing debate among B2B marketers about whether LinkedIn Ads is truly a Tier 1 advertising platform. AJ discusses the platform's strengths and areas needing improvement to solidify LinkedIn's place among the top advertising platforms like Google and Meta. Key Discussion Points: Platform Tier Classification: AJ defines Tier 1 platforms as essential tools that B2B marketers must master, such as Google and Meta, due to their comprehensive features and widespread use. LinkedIn is currently on the cusp between Tier 1 and Tier 2, with many key features missing or needing enhancement to reach true Tier 1 status. Platform Generosity: AJ introduces the concept of "platform generosity," explaining that early-stage platforms like Google and Facebook succeeded by offering low costs and high value, attracting widespread use. LinkedIn, in contrast, started with higher costs and lacked the generous features that help new advertisers achieve success, which could hinder its growth and perception as a top-tier platform. Feature Wishlist for LinkedIn Ads: Device Targeting: The ability to target ads based on the device type (mobile vs. desktop) is crucial for optimizing campaigns but is currently missing. Time Zone Flexibility: AJ argues for the ability to change campaign time zones and schedule ads according to the user's local time, improving budget efficiency and targeting accuracy. Hourly Reporting and Scheduling: LinkedIn should provide more granular hourly reporting and allow for ad scheduling based on when the audience is most active, enhancing campaign effectiveness. Daily Budget Control: LinkedIn often overspends on daily budgets, particularly with maximum delivery bidding, which feels like a "cash grab." More precise control is needed to avoid overspending. Improved Audience Matching: Enhancements like targeting by LinkedIn profile URLs could significantly improve the match rates for uploaded contact lists. Custom Calculated Columns: AJ suggests allowing advertisers to create custom calculated metrics within Campaign Manager, eliminating the need for manual calculations in Excel. Ad Type Transparency: LinkedIn should make it easier to identify the ad type within exported reports, helping advertisers better analyze campaign performance. Expanded Objectives for Thought Leader Ads: AJ advocates for adding more objectives to Thought Leader Ads, including website visits and lead generation, to increase their utility. Simplified Duplication and Management of Conversation Ads: The current process for creating and duplicating Conversation Ads is cumbersome; LinkedIn could streamline this to make it more user-friendly. Additional Feedback and Community Suggestions: AJ shares feedback from the LinkedIn Ads community, including suggestions for better dynamic UTM tracking, a more user-friendly Campaign Manager interface, and dark mode compatibility. Conclusion: This episode provides a comprehensive evaluation of LinkedIn Ads, highlighting both its potential and the areas where it falls short. For LinkedIn Ads to move firmly into Tier 1 status, it must address these shortcomings, offering advertisers more control, transparency, and tools to optimize their campaigns effectively. By implementing the suggested features and improvements, LinkedIn could significantly enhance its value proposition, attracting more advertisers and solidifying its place as a critical platform for B2B marketers.

A great no-cost way to support us: Rate/Review! Show Notes: Episode Summary: Key Takeaways: Introduction to Conversation Ads: Conversation Ads are part of LinkedIn's Sponsored Messaging ad formats. They are distinct from other ad formats because they appear in the LinkedIn messaging inbox rather than in the newsfeed, making them feel more personal and direct. Cost and Performance Considerations: Conversation Ads are pay-per-send, which can make them more expensive, especially for cold audiences. They tend to perform better with retargeting campaigns, where the audience is already familiar with the brand. Use Cases for Conversation Ads: Ideal for personalized invitations, event meet-ups, or exclusive offers. Successful in scenarios like inviting event attendees to meetups or offering demos in exchange for gift cards. Challenges and Limitations: Building Conversation Ads can be cumbersome due to the need for multiple text options and flowchart designs. There are limitations in targeting, such as the inability to use these ads in the EU due to GDPR restrictions. New Features and Metrics: LinkedIn introduced a new metric called "audience penetration," which measures how much of your target audience you’re reaching with your ads. The frequency cap for Conversation Ads has become more dynamic, ranging from 7 to 18 days based on user activity. Tips for Success: Keep messages short and the number of options limited to avoid overwhelming the recipient. Use believable senders who are not too senior or obviously sales-oriented to maintain the personal touch. Focus on warm audiences for better performance and cost-effectiveness. Conclusion: This episode provides a comprehensive guide to leveraging LinkedIn Conversation Ads effectively, including practical advice on when and how to use them, the challenges involved, and how to optimize performance. For advanced B2B marketers, this episode is packed with actionable insights that can help refine LinkedIn advertising strategies. Whether you’re looking to retarget an audience or send personalized invitations, Conversation Ads can be a powerful tool when used correctly.

Show Notes: Episode Summary In this episode of The LinkedIn Ads Show , host AJ Wilcox shares his comprehensive playbook for promoting your presence at in-person events like trade shows and conferences using LinkedIn Ads. If you're looking to make a significant impact at your next event, this episode provides actionable insights on how to effectively target attendees, choose the right ad formats, and optimize your promotion strategy. Key Discussion Points: Targeting Event Attendees: List Targeting: Use contact lists or company lists of attendees to reach them directly. If you don't have a list, use LinkedIn’s native targeting to reach professionals in the city where the event is being held. Geographic Targeting: Target the city of the event using LinkedIn's recent or permanent geography feature to reach attendees and professionals temporarily in the area. Choosing the Right Ad Formats: Conversation Ads and Click-to-Message Ads: These offer a personalized, VIP invitation feel, perfect for inviting attendees to special events or meetups. Thought Leader Ads: Promote posts from company representatives about attending the event. These ads tend to achieve higher engagement rates than standard company posts. Single Image Sponsored Content: Ideal for driving traffic to your landing page, as you only pay for clicks that lead to your website. Text Ads: A cost-effective way to keep your brand top of mind, especially for desktop users. What to Promote: Promote special events, presentations, or booth activities, such as product demos, giveaways, or exclusive meetups. Unique draws like F1 simulators or free drinks can increase traffic to your booth. Timing Your Promotions: Pre-Event: Advertise in the weeks leading up to the event to get on attendees' calendars. Use personal invites and offer benefits to encourage meetings. During the Event: Target attendees and professionals in the city with your ads. Consider using a mix of list targeting and native targeting. Post-Event: Retarget individuals who interacted with your ads during the event to keep them engaged with your brand. Bonus: Organic Promotion Tips: Encourage company representatives to post about attending the event, including any special offers or activities. Post a wrap-up after the event, acknowledging key takeaways and tagging attendees or speakers to increase shares and engagement. Recent LinkedIn Updates: Changes to how LinkedIn counts impressions and clicks for video ads, now excluding actions taken before the video starts playing. Updates to sponsored messaging metrics, separating them from impressions and clicks in Campaign Manager. Call to Action: Join the LinkedIn Ads Fanatics community for in-depth courses, expert advice, and weekly group calls. Subscribe to the podcast for more insights, and leave a review on Apple Podcasts to share your feedback and experiences.
