The Power of LinkedIn advertising
Whilst LinkedIn is one of the best B2B marketing platforms available, LinkedIn is also a very powerful advertising platform for B2C campaigns as well and is often overlooked in this respect. LinkedIn has a powerful array of audience targeting in terms of demographic, education, job titles and professional interests that other platforms do not offer.
LinkedIn’s content algorithm also allows for greater potential of shareability which also makes it an attractive consideration for your business, particularly in the B2B marketing space.
