Target prospects in key industries with LinkedIn advertising

by Kelly Kubrick on April 30, 2019

Campaign Objectives

In its strategic plan, the Canadian Commercial Corporation (CCC) identified key sectors of interest for expansion in its business development efforts. In addition to its significant trade show involvement, the CCC was executing a digital lead generation effort through content marketing.

The Plan:

To drive qualified traffic to its newly developed content marketing assets, the CCC approved a LinkedIn media buy, targeting industries that mapped to its sectors of interest.

In advance of the paid traffic campaign, the CCC developed blog post landing pages in English and French explaining its unique service offering to those particular industries.

Online Authority worked with CCC’s marketing team to set up the its LinkedIn Campaign Manager account, then identify and quantify potential ‘Audiences’ – narrowed by CCC’s targeting criteria – to pursue.

Next, Online Authority undertook the necessary technical implementation for a LinkedIn media buy for CCC, including:

  1. Generating the LinkedIn Campaign Manager Insight Tag;
  2. Installing and configuring the Insight Tag via the client’s content management systems account to ensure it was published to all templates;
  3. Setting up conversion tracking; and
  4. Advising on naming conventions for Google Analytics UTM tracking codes for use later in the campaign.

Online Authority provided advisory services to the CCC team on creative – copy and image treatments, activation and launch, and reporting throughout the duration of the campaign.

Achieve funding application targets with LinkedIn advertising

by Kelly Kubrick on March 31, 2019

Campaign Objectives

The Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) needed to secure a particular number of municipal infrastructure funding applications, by a specific deadline, from a particular geographic segment.

The Plan:

In advance of the paid traffic campaign, FCM developed landing pages in English and French, containing links to supporting documentation describing the funding application process.

Where digital fit:

In addition to its regular organic social media and email newsletters, FCM approved a paid media buy on LinkedIn. Online Authority was tasked with advising the internal team how to structure its test plan to determine optimal placements and audiences. Online Authority supported the team’s efforts by researching, building and ‘saving’ additional pockets of target audiences on LinkedIn.

Next, Online Authority undertook the necessary technical implementation for a LinkedIn media buy for FCM, including:

  1. Generating the client’s LinkedIn Campaign Manager Insight Tag;
  2. Installing and configuring the Insight Tag via the client’s Google Tag Manager account to ensure it was published to all templates in the client’s content management system;
  3. Setting up conversion tracking; and
  4. Advising on naming conventions for Google Analytics UTM tracking codes for use later in the campaign.

Online Authority provided advisory services to the FCM team on creative – copy and image treatments – including adjustments after an initial test period in market.
