The Ultimate Guide to LinkedIn Ads

#4: Event Ads

Event ads can only be used once you’ve already created an event on LinkedIn. The Event ad is then used to promote the event.

This type of ad appears in a user’s LinkedIn home feed and provides all the information needed for the event, including the date, time, and location. 

#5: Message Ads

Message ads are delivered straight to your target audience’s LinkedIn inboxes.

This type of ad includes one call-to-action (CTA) button and is great for reaching specific audiences in a direct way.

#6: Conversation Ads

Like Message ads, Conversation ads are sent directly to a user’s LinkedIn inbox, but they display up to five CTA buttons. 

These ads give people a choose-your-own-path experience by prompting them to click on a response button and displaying a new message each time they do.

Conversation Ads are one of the more engaging and interactive ad formats, making them great for showcasing products and services, driving engagement, and gaining new leads. 

#7: Text Ads

Text ads, as the name suggests, are the least visual type of LinkedIn advertising.

They appear on the right-hand side or top of the LinkedIn home feed. While simple, they’re still effective in boosting brand awareness and reaching audiences.

They’re also one of the platform’s most budget-friendly ads.

#8: Spotlight Ads

Spotlight ads appear in the right-hand column of the LinkedIn home feed. They add a personal touch by automatically extracting a user’s profile image and placing it in the ad.

When users click on the ad, they’re immediately directed to your website, making them perfect for announcing job openings, boosting brand awareness, and gaining website traffic.
