Eric’s Experiment with LinkedIn Thought Leader Ads
November 17, 2023

In episode #2610, We discuss the effectiveness of LinkedIn Thought Leader Ads in driving leads. We share our experiences with running these ads and highlight the importance of soft conversions, such as newsletter sign-ups and webinar registrations. While direct conversions into purchases may be challenging, the ads can be highly effective in building brand awareness and nurturing relationships with potential customers. Overall, LinkedIn is a valuable platform for reaching a professional audience and should not be overlooked in our marketing strategies.
