LinkedIn Ads. Reach the people who decide.
B2B precision, at pipeline scale.
No other platform puts you in front of verified decision-makers at this level of precision. Job title, seniority, company size, industry, buying group — LinkedIn's targeting is unmatched for B2B. We build campaigns that turn that precision into pipeline.
The B2B opportunity
The only channel where the audience is the product.
LinkedIn's value isn't reach — it's precision. Every targeting parameter maps to a verified professional identity. That changes the economics of B2B advertising entirely.
Job title and seniority at scale
Target CFOs, Head of Marketing, VP Engineering — not approximations based on browsing behaviour, but verified professional profiles. LinkedIn is the only platform where this is possible at scale.
Account-based precision
Upload a list of your target accounts and reach only the right people within those companies. ABM on LinkedIn isn't just possible — it's one of the most cost-efficient B2B strategies available.
Message Ads reach the inbox
Sponsored InMail delivers your message directly to decision-makers' LinkedIn inboxes — with open rates that email marketing can't touch in a B2B context.
Lead Gen Forms remove all friction
LinkedIn pre-fills contact forms from profile data. Conversion rates are 2–3× higher than sending traffic to a landing page — because the friction is almost entirely eliminated.

"LinkedIn Ads cost more per click than almost every other platform. That's not a problem — it's a filter. When you're paying €8–15 per click, you'd better be reaching exactly the right person. With the right setup, LinkedIn's CPL for enterprise B2B is consistently lower than alternatives because the lead quality is categorically different."

Targeting
Six dimensions no other platform can match.
LinkedIn's targeting is built on verified professional data, not inferred behaviour. Each dimension maps to a real attribute of your ideal customer — and they stack.
Job Title & Function
Target by exact title, job function category or seniority level. Reach every CFO in the Netherlands or every Head of Engineering at SaaS companies.
Company Attributes
Filter by company size, industry, growth rate and revenue. Target scale-ups of 50–500 employees in fintech — or enterprise accounts in a specific vertical.
Skills & Education
Target professionals with specific endorsed skills — 'data privacy', 'procurement', 'Salesforce' — or by degree field and institution for education-based personas.
Matched Audiences
Upload your CRM contacts, target account lists or website visitors and match them to LinkedIn profiles. The closest thing to ABM at the efficiency of paid social.
Intent & Interests
Reach professionals actively researching topics relevant to your product — identified through their LinkedIn activity, group memberships and content engagement.
Lookalike Audiences
LinkedIn builds lookalike audiences from your best-performing matched audience — expanding reach to professionals with similar profiles to your existing customers or leads.
From insight to impact — engineered for LinkedIn.
Insight
Audience Mapping & Audit
We map your ICP to LinkedIn's targeting parameters, audit any existing campaigns and benchmark your current cost per lead against category norms. We define the buying group — champion, influencer, economic buyer — before a single campaign is built.
Plan
Strategy & Creative Brief
We design a campaign architecture by funnel stage — awareness, consideration, decision — with the right format for each. We brief and write creative: hook, message hierarchy, CTA and visual direction. LinkedIn campaigns live and die by creative quality.
Build
Launch & Measurement Setup
We launch with LinkedIn Insight Tag, CRM integration and conversion events configured before the first impression is served. Lead Gen Forms connected to your CRM. Pipeline attribution in place so every lead has a clear source.
Impact
Optimise & Scale
Bi-weekly optimisation cycles against CPL, lead quality score and pipeline contribution. We test audiences, creative and offers systematically — and scale the combinations that produce qualified pipeline, not just volume.
AI & control
AI sharpens the targeting. We direct the strategy.
LinkedIn's own AI — Predictive Audiences, automated bidding, AI-generated copy suggestions — is increasingly present in the platform. We use it selectively: where it genuinely improves performance, we lean in. Where it optimises for platform metrics rather than business outcomes, we override it.
We also use AI in our own workflow: to generate and test ad copy variants at scale, to analyse engagement patterns across audience segments, to model CPL scenarios across budget levels and to build creative briefs faster. You set the direction. We use AI to execute it more precisely — and you stay in control of the decisions that shape your brand's positioning in the market.
- You define ICP and positioningTargeting, messaging and brand voice stay with you and us — not the algorithm.
- AI generates copy at scale10–15 variants per campaign, tested systematically to surface the angles that resonate.
- Data surfaces the opportunitiesEngagement patterns, audience overlap and CPL anomalies — spotted faster than manual review.
- You stay in control of strategyBudget, creative and targeting changes are agreed with you — nothing significant ships unseen.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions about LinkedIn Ads management.
Is LinkedIn Ads only worth it for enterprise B2B?
+
No. LinkedIn works for any business where the buying decision is made by a professional with a definable job title — that includes scale-ups selling to mid-market, SaaS targeting departments, agencies, consultancies, recruitment, education, B2B services and B2B e-commerce. CPCs are higher than other paid social channels, but the precision of the targeting and the quality of the lead make it pay back when the ICP is well-defined.
LinkedIn CPCs are €8–15. How do you keep cost per lead under control?
+
By using the higher CPC as a filter, not a problem. Sharp targeting, qualifying questions inside Lead Gen Forms, and creative that explicitly speaks to a single audience segment all reduce wasted impressions. The goal isn't the cheapest click — it's the lowest cost per qualified lead, and that's usually achieved by tightening the audience and improving the creative, not by chasing lower CPCs.
Which ad format should we start with?
+
For most B2B clients we start with Sponsored Content (Single Image or Carousel) paired with Lead Gen Forms. That combination gives the highest-quality lead volume in the shortest time, and the data it produces makes everything that follows — Message Ads, Conversation Ads, Dynamic retargeting — substantially sharper. Video and Document Ads come in once we know what messaging actually resonates.
How does ABM work on LinkedIn in practice?
+
We upload your target account list (typically 200–2,000 companies), LinkedIn matches them to its company database, and we then layer job title or function filters on top to reach only the buying group within those accounts. The result is a campaign that ignores everyone outside your ICP — no waste, no irrelevant impressions. Combined with Message Ads or Sponsored Content tailored to those accounts, ABM on LinkedIn is one of the most efficient B2B plays available.
What budget level do you recommend for LinkedIn Ads?
+
We typically work with monthly LinkedIn spend from €5,000 upward. Below that, audience sizes become too small to generate meaningful signal, and creative testing isn't statistically reliable. Above €15,000/month is where the full ad format mix (Sponsored Content + Lead Gen + Message Ads + retargeting) starts to compound — and where pipeline attribution becomes really actionable.
Do you also write the ad copy and creative?
+
Yes. LinkedIn campaigns succeed or fail on creative quality, and the first two lines of copy decide everything. We write hook-first copy, brief or produce visuals and video, and test variants systematically. For video and high-end design we either produce in-house or brief your production partner with a clear creative spec.
How do you connect LinkedIn leads to our CRM and pipeline?
+
Lead Gen Forms connect natively to HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive and most major CRMs — and via Zapier to almost anything else. We configure the integration up front so leads land in the right pipeline with the right source tags and any custom fields you need. Reporting then connects LinkedIn spend to opportunity value, not just lead count.
Where does AI fit into the LinkedIn workflow?
+
We use AI in execution, not in strategy. Concretely: generating 10–15 ad copy variants per campaign for testing, analysing engagement patterns across audience segments, spotting CPL anomalies faster, and modelling budget scenarios. Targeting, positioning, creative direction and budget allocation stay decisions you and we make together — AI accelerates the work, it doesn't direct it.
