Essentially, we merge AI efficiency for real-time attribution insights and budget pacing with the human element of our skilled marketing strategists. 

And our clients can count on next-level results in the form of an average 4.5X ROI.

And there you have it! We’ve seen what the best in the biz has to offer, but you might still wonder: do I really need to invest in LinkedIn Ads, and can’t I just DIY it? Fair questions. 

Why you need a LinkedIn Ads agency

A LinkedIn Ads agency is a digital marketing agency that creates, manages, monitors, and strategizes ad campaigns for primarily B2B businesses. In addition to Google Ads and paid social media campaigns, they have in-house marketing and advertising experts with proven success in LinkedIn Ads. 

Bottom line? LinkedIn Ads agencies help brands leverage the professional platform’s rich source of B2B audiences for increased leads, traffic, and conversions. 

B2B audiences spend considerable time on LinkedIn, and they’re 6 times more likely to convert on LinkedIn than on other social or PPC channels. 

If you’re a B2B company, you’re missing out if you’re not actively using LinkedIn Ads. That much is clear if you want to maximize your chance at targeting key decision-makers in your ideal client companies. But a LinkedIn marketing agency puts that into action when your already-busy marketing team can’t. 

Maybe you’re focused on a Google Ads PPC campaign, or your lead marketer is tackling organic content creation. Who’s taking care of your LinkedIn Ads? Chances are they’re only getting last-minute attention—a recipe for broad targeting and wasted ad spend. 

LinkedIn Ads agencies have in-house LinkedIn and PPC experts with direct experience driving ROI and traffic to brands like yours. They’re fully committed to managing your LinkedIn campaigns from start to finish and have the knowledge to target qualified audiences and leads with the right ad formats and placements. 

Plus, they have the industry know-how to turn advertising data into actionable insights to improve your strategy and bottom line. 

Sure, you can have your team study LinkedIn ad types and strategies in their downtime. But all you’ll achieve is a disservice to your potential audiences that your ads aren’t reaching. 

The takeaway

There is no shortage of qualified LinkedIn Ads agencies, and finding the right one ultimately depends on your niche, goals, and audience.

We rounded up the industry’s top players in this guide to give you a great launching off point to kickstart your LinkedIn Ads strategy. 

The right agency for you will be one that has worked with brands similar to yours in terms of revenue, niche, and business goals. 

At HawkSEM, we’re proud to offer PPC management and LinkedIn Ads services to small and large businesses across many different niches. If you need help targeting and converting your audience on LinkedIn, our skilled staff and tech stack will get the job done. 

It’s time to leverage your LinkedIn audience for unparalleled ROI. And we’re eager to help you do it.
