The B2B Playbook

Show Notes

In this video, I chat with Kevin about LinkedIn ads frequency caps, and why the native member level caps won't stop a handful of big companies from eating your whole budget.

We cover: How many impressions it actually takes to be remembered, the limits of LinkedIn's native frequency caps, and how to build company level caps with dynamic exclusion audiences.

If you are running LinkedIn ads and your budget keeps going to the same few accounts, this one's for you.

Tune in and learn: Two quick diagnostics to spot a frequency problem, why 7 day audiences beat 30 day ones, a hack for the engagement objective, and how to make sure you're actually reaching the decision makers.
