Why LinkedIn Conversation Ads Matter For Your Business More than 2.5 billion people use mobile messaging according to LinkedIn. LinkedIn Conversation Ads will now allow you to "build on our current Message Ads offering (formerly Sponsored InMail), and feature a "choose your own path" experience that lets you create full-funnel campaigns with multiple customized calls-to-action, like product education, webinar sign-ups, and ebook downloads." This will help you get more of the right messages in front of your target audience. According to LinkedIn, "Conversation Ads can be used with other features like Lead Gen Forms and Conversion Tracking to help turn your conversations into conversions. What's more, they're designed for real-time engagement, which means messages can only be sent when the prospect is active on LinkedIn and in the right mindset. "By turning ad engagements on LinkedIn from one-sided messages to two-sided conversations, Hired saw a big uptick in quality candidates entering the system, said Chase Gladden, Growth Marketing Manager at Hired. "The clickthrough rate was almost 5X higher than what we'd seen previously, which goes to show the level of engagement is pretty wild when you're able to provide multiple opportunities to click." LinkedIn Conversation Ads will be rolling out to all users over the next several weeks.
