In the last 60 days, We’ve generated 150k targeted impressions and 4K clicks to our client's ICP using LinkedIn’s thought leader ads with just $3k/month ads spend. A major focus this year for our client is correcting a past oversight in brand awareness from their initial growth phase. Their ICP clients achieve excellent outcomes, demonstrate loyalty, and frequently refer others. However, their brand visibility has historically been low. 🧠 Strategy Highlight: LinkedIn Thought Leader Ads This approach allows for the amplification of organic posts from personal founder or C-level accounts, with expenses billed to the company. It capitalizes on the principle that people prefer buying from individuals rather than corporations. 📍 Quick note: This inventory is not overused ads inventory within linkedin. The CPM of the same audience compared to Thought leadership ads vs Company page sponsored content. TL ads will be 10 times lesser CPMs from our experiments so far. 🌴 Quick Implementation Guide: 1. Target Audience Creation: - Identify and segment specific groups like Shopify Plus stores, agencies, and tech partners. - Enrich business data to include LinkedIn URLs and target decision makers. 2. Content Promotion: Amplify popular organic content that resonates with each audience segment. this includes founders building content and insights from their case studies and other use cases. 3. Execution: Initially, aim to appear daily in the feeds of your ICP. Adjust frequency based on response and supplement with simple promoted posts from the company page. 🏆 Results: Impressions: 150k Spend: $3.1k Cost per Thousand Impressions (CPM): $19.61 Clicks: 4.9K While these are primarily brand awareness ads and immediate revenue impact is not expected, the qualitative feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. Approximately 30-35% of recent business calls have mentioned seeing these posts. Additionally, the inbound messages from respected industry peers have been notably encouraging. Conclusion: For early-stage SaaS companies aiming to enhance visibility efficiently, leveraging founder-led content on LinkedIn presents a valuable opportunity. While it’s early days, and many strategies are being employed concurrently, the initial signs of improved brand recognition are encouraging. This could be a game-changing strategy for startups looking to make a significant impact without a hefty advertising budget. #linkedinads #thoughtleadershipads
