We recently helped a workwear company target firms with over 50 employees in sectors like Construction and Security. By sending messages on LinkedIn and emails, we quickly got them 10 high-quality leads within weeks. For another client, an accountancy firm, we created bite-sized videos for LinkedIn about handy tips and tax updates for small to medium-sized businesses, which led to a consistent flow of new client consultations.

LinkedIn Ads Unlocked: How to Target and Engage Your Dream 100

Following our previous discussions on identifying your Dream 100 and engaging them through content, let’s talk about using LinkedIn Ads. This platform lets you target and engage your most important prospects with precision, making your messaging even more effective.

Why LinkedIn Ads?

LinkedIn Ads are great because they let you directly reach the decision-makers and influencers in specific industries. With the platform’s detailed targeting options, you can make sure your ads get in front of the right B2B prospects. This helps boost your visibility and speeds up your marketing efforts toward your Dream 100.

Crafting Your LinkedIn Ad Strategy

Here’s how to make LinkedIn Ads work for you:

• Define Your Objectives: First, figure out what you want to achieve with your ads. Do you want more people to know about your brand, get more leads, or drive traffic to your website? Your goals will shape the ads you create.

• Target Precisely: Use LinkedIn’s targeting tools to focus on your Dream 100. You can choose your audience based on things like their industry, job title, or the size of their company.

• Create Compelling Content: Make sure your ad content speaks directly to what your audience cares about. This could be through engaging videos, eye-catching infographics, or helpful articles.

• Optimise and Test: Use LinkedIn’s analytics to see how your ads are doing and make any necessary adjustments. Try different versions of your ads to see which ones work best.

Your Calls-to-Action

A good call-to-action (CTA) gets people to act right away. Here are some ideas:

• Offer a Lead Magnet: Encourage clicks by offering something valuable for free, like an ebook, a white paper, or access to a webinar. For example, “Download our free guide to improving efficiency” or “Sign up for our exclusive webinar on market trends.”

• Be Clear and Direct: Keep your CTAs straightforward, like "Get your free report" or "Join our free session now." Make it obvious what people will get and what they need to do next.

• Promote Free Trials or Demos: If you’re selling a product, offering a free trial or demo can be really appealing. For instance, “Try our software free for 30 days” or “Book your free demo today.”

• Invite to a Free Consultation: If you offer services, a free consultation can attract people looking for customised solutions. Use phrases like “Book your free consultation today” or “Schedule your no-obligation chat.”

Example Ad Campaigns

Here are some ad formats that work well for B2B:

• Sponsored Content: These ads pop up right in the LinkedIn feed and are good for drawing attention and driving engagement. They can be in the form of videos, images, or carousels.

• Message Ads: These send messages directly to LinkedIn inboxes, making it easy to start a conversation. They're great for actions like signing up for webinars or scheduling meetings.

• Dynamic Ads: These automatically personalise content for each viewer based on their LinkedIn profile, which can increase engagement and clicks.

Measuring Success

Keep an eye on key metrics like click-through rates, conversion rates, and the cost per lead to measure the success of your ads. These numbers will help you understand what’s working and what needs tweaking.

LinkedIn Ads are a powerful tool for reaching your most important B2B prospects. By using LinkedIn’s targeting features wisely and continually refining your approach based on performance data, you can improve your reach and build deeper connections with key players in your industry, pushing your business towards greater success.
