This isn't another tactics e-book

This is a guide rooted in marketing fundamentals that focuses more on strategy vs. in-platform tactics.

Goals

Always realistic and always achievable

Setting clear goals and aligning the right KPIs to each paid channel is the foundation of an effective demand generation strategy. We'll unpack how to measure in a realistic way.

Targeting

The non-violent way to attract buyers

LinkedIn Ads provides the best native targeting 
to reach specific people based on their role, company, skills, and other attributes. We'll unpack why data-driven decision squashed superficial ideas.

Messaging

Because shouting “AI-driven” isn’t enough

What separates standout brands from the ones that get scrolled past on LinkedIn isn’t just the product. It’s clear, consistent, and compelling messaging rooted in strong positioning.

Vincent Plassard

UserLed

“We are running 1:1 campaigns to all existing opportunities to expand across the entire committee with the goal of speeding up sales cycles and increasing close rates. So far, 
the results are promising.”

Isaac Ware

UserGems

“We previously ran tests showing significant results with opportunities that received 1:1 ads. After reviewing the data, we saw 31% higher win rates, 25% bigger deal sizes, 67% more prospects in deals, and 17% shorter sales cycles.”

Alex Goodwin

FingerPrint

“Don't expand your audience just for the sake of reaching more people. We segment use cases, homogenize the accounts into that, and then message to each specific job to be done focusing on the most valuable accounts in our ICP”

Ad Creative

What makes good ad creative?

What makes effective LinkedIn ad creative, from the fundamentals like overcoming ad friction to anchoring your brand to key buying triggers. We'll unpack what does and does not impact engagement.

Landing Pages

Don't imprison buyers on one page

Most B2B SaaS companies are throwing money 
at landing page optimization while completely missing what actually drives conversions. We'll break down what builds trust and what builds walls.

Strategy & Allocation

The glue that holds  everything together

The difference between a LinkedIn campaign that burns budget and one that builds pipeline comes down to four foundational decisions made before you ever hit "publish."

Measurement & Attribution

Proving it works so you can keep your job

Most B2B SaaS brands have a measurement problem with LinkedIn Ads. They rely entirely on last-click attribution while their prospects take weeks 
or months to convert through multiple touchpoints.

Robert Kaminski

Fletch PMM

“Thousands of homepages…(almost) all of them saying the same thing ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. Pure fluff. ‘Increase revenue’, ‘Future proof your business’. ‘Innovation at scale’, ‘The next-gen software-sales-marketing-development platform ecosystem.’
The reality is more people will buy your product if you tell them what it actually does.”

Adam Holgren

Fibbler

“You need to build initial engagement around the problem/narrative and then go deeper on the product in the retargeting layer.”

Pranav Piyush

Paramark

"Whatever metric you're testing, you want at least a few hundred a month in the region you're testing. More importantly, you need to invest enough to see the lift, 
so aim for 20% or more lifts when your baseline is small."
