Why digital advertising?
Precise targeting
LinkedIn Ads allows you to target based on demographics like job title and company size. Google paid search allows you to target contacts based on the search query they are using, which can indicate intent.
Instant ROI
A campaign with a compelling CTA can generate quality leads instantly. You can also plug gaps in search engine visibility for key terms with paid search ads, while you wait for organic content to rank.
Suitable for a variety of objectives
The options for paid ads are vast - you can leverage this to support a range of business goals simultaneously, whether it's data acquisition, nurturing prospects or positioning your brand as a thought leader.
How it works
How can I target my audience?
Paid advertising offers your business a direct route to users matching your ideal customer profile. Equipped with accurate persona data, paid ads is a quick and powerful way to get results.
Here are just some of the ways you can target your desired audience, however recommendations will vary from business to business.
Demographics
Powerful demographic targeting on LinkedIn Ads includes job title, industry, company size & name, seniority, years of experience and more.
Search-based
Get in front of your audience when they are searching for advice about a pain point that you help resolve or comparing services like yours.

List-based
Upload a list of contacts directly to advertising platforms and create bespoke campaigns that push them further down the funnel.
