LinkedIn Ad Targeting Options

Every LinkedIn Advertising campaign begins by marketers choosing the type of ad they want to run. LinkedIn Ad types include Sponsored Content, Sponsored InMail and Text Ads.

Sponsored Content

Designed to build customer relationships by delivering relevant content to prospects within LinkedIn’s feed. This type of ad helps marketers engage prospects early in the buyer’s journey. These touch points can shape purchase decisions by pushing relevant content straight into the LinkedIn feed.

Sponsored InMail

Helps marketers engage target audiences with personalized content delivered directly through the LinkedIn messenger. Of all the LinkedIn Ad targeting options, this tactic is the most personalized form of outreach and can be scaled proportionately to the size of your campaign.

LinkedIn Text Ads

Based on a self-service pay per click (PPC) advertising platform, this form of LinkedIn advertising allows marketers to drive traffic on a budget. The option also offers a cost per impression (CPM) pricing model for those who want to increase brand awareness.

Whether you choose Sponsored InMail, Sponsored Content or Text Ads, LinkedIn Ad targeting options let you get as granular as you want.
