Seven months after introducing lead generation forms to sponsored posts, LinkedIn is adding support for the data collection tool to Sponsored InMails, creating an opportunity to target users of the professional social network both publicly in the news feed and privately via message. Marketers will be able to curate qualified leads and contact information easily, thanks to a button that prospects click in an ad, message, or post.
With Sponsored InMails, marketers are able to run personalized one-on-one messages to LinkedIn users as before, but while previously there was a noticeable drop-off among prospects in the last step where they’d provide their information, with lead generation forms, it’s easier to collect. LinkedIn said that marketers will be able to collect quality data like someone’s name, email address, job title, company name, and other select fields from their public profile.
One of the newest features to be added are custom questions. Within a sponsored post or InMail, marketers are able to not only use the default fields LinkedIn provides, but add their own, like multiple-choice, free-form fields, or a mixture of the two.

You might have heard about LinkedIn Matched Audiences. That's an all-encompassing expression that refers to the various types of LinkedIn remarketing.
In this article, we'll just cover the option that enables you to show your LinkedIn ads only to people who've visited your website. That way, you can get a "second chance" at potential customers you've found with content marketing.

We are announcing a plan to integrate Sales Navigator and LinkedIn Campaign Manager so that marketers can precisely target the accounts and leads their sales team is pursuing.
Marketers will see two new ad groups appear in LinkedIn Campaign Manager -- Sales Navigator Leads and Sales Navigator Accounts. The marketer will still control creative, budget and when the campaigns will go live. But now, they will have the ability to market directly to the leads and/or companies their sales reps are pursuing on LinkedIn, and even use lookalike modeling to find new audiences who behave like their current prospects and customers. In the future, this targeting will get even more precise, allowing marketers on LinkedIn to target any list that their sales team is pursuing. And since these two systems are constantly connected, these lists will update every day.
Sales reps will also be able to see how prospects are interacting with Marketing campaigns from within Sales Navigator. Reps will receive alerts when any of their saved accounts have engaged with their company’s sponsored content on LinkedIn. These buyer intent signals are the first of many we plan on adding to Sales Navigator.

Last year, Microsoft bought LinkedIn for $26.2 billion, but even though the acquisition has long closed, Microsoft hasn’t yet done much with all of the data it gets from the social network. At its Ignite conference in Orlando, Florida, the company announced some first steps in integrating LinkedIn’s social graph with its Office products.
Now don’t get too excited yet. What we’re talking about here is the integration of LinkedIn data with Office 365 profile cards. So assuming you don’t know much about your professional contacts and colleagues yet, you can now see more information about them right in Office 365 without having to go to their LinkedIn profiles (and potentially showing up as that one person who looked at their LinkedIn profile that week, which will surely trigger yet another LinkedIn email for them).

Marketers now have a lot more avenues to target potential customers. At the forefront of that is social media. And if we’re talking about the highest-quality leads, LinkedIn is the clear winner. It’s a bit shocking, I know. You expect a giant like Facebook to be leading the pack. Not in this case. More than 80% of B2B leads sourced from social media come from LinkedIn.

Create the content you want to sponsor. It could be a post that you have already shared on your LinkedIn company page, or you can create a new post (known as direct sponsored content) and this post will not be shared on your company page. I will walk you through both of these approaches. Create a Lead Gen Form template. Choose your targeting option. Define your budget, bid, and schedule. Hit publish.

1. Ad copy
The copy for this ad is a triumph of brevity. It leads with a clear, quantifiable benefit (“growing revenue 25%”). It identifies the offer (“Growth Kit”) front and center. And then closes with a list of 3 actionable phrases that drive action (“get the tools you need to succeed.”)
2. Image
Here, the Salesforce folks have accomplished a design that is both unique enough to catch the eye as you scroll by, but also informative enough to engage the reader. What we see is actually an image of the offer, but rather than use some boring white paper cover, Salesforce created a desktop vignette that represents various elements of the “guide” being consumed – on a tablet, a clipboard, and a smartphone (the video at upper right).

To attract more viewers, he used several strategies:
He only puts non-native links in the first comment rather than the status because LinkedIn penalizes the reach of posts containing links. He connects with his fans on other platforms, including Facebook and Instagram because marketing is platform agnostic. He writes using one or two sentences per paragraph to optimize for mobile. He avoids images because they reduce reach.

Data from LinkedIn revealed that there are more than 60,000 operations positions available today, which are crucial for routing leads, scoring accounts and running CRM and marketing automation databases, according to the companies. Despite the importance and availability of these positions, operations roles are often overlooked and little research has been done about them.

LinkedIn has released Website Demographics, a free reporting tool that enables users to gain insights about the types of professionals visiting their websites.
The tool allows users to filter between eight individual professional dimensions — including industry, job title, company and more — but does not track individual users, thus protecting member privacy.
Website Demographics is designed to allow users to understand whether their marketing campaigns increased traffic from their targeted audiences, or if they have attracted new prospects. These insights enable users to develop and create more effective content and campaigns.

Google has announced a tool that will let small to medium businesses recruit more quality candidates efficiently. ‘Hire‘ is not to be confused with ‘Google for Jobs’ which Google announced last month which helps people find jobs via search easier. Instead ‘Hire’ works directly with Google’s G Suite (Gmail).
‘Hire’ is a smart play by Google. Not only will the tool get more small businesses using G-suite (a direct competitor to Microsoft’s Office) but it also makes the whole Google product set more alluring to those wavering. LinkedIn looks almost clunky next to Hire and isn’t half as friendly as Google to small and medium sized businesses looking to save time and money. While clearly belonging to Google, small businesses get a sense of ownership they are unlikely to get with LinkedIn.

" - Text ads are the simplest ads on LinkedIn. They consist of a short bit of text and, optionally, a small image. They display on the top or right side of users’ screens.
- Display ads are standard visual ads that show up on the right side of LinkedIn’s main content.
- Dynamic ads display in the same spot as display ads, but use information from a user’s profile to personalize the ad to them. For example, it might tell them a connection of theirs joined a specific group or followed a certain company.
- Sponsored content displays natively in users’ regular feeds. Businesses can use it to promote content they post on their LinkedIn profiles or elsewhere online.
- Sponsored InMail takes personalized advertising one step further. It allows marketers to send personalized messages on LinkedIn to specific users. InMail arrives when the user is online and active in order to increase open rates."
