Great example of more advertisers discovering the utility of LinkedIn advertising for B2B services. Using Lead Gen Form Ads both for prospecting and remarketing campaigns, retargeting users who opened but didn’t complete the form, and specifically using InMail Ads towards top identified decision-makers in industries of interest, are all potentially wonderfully effective tactics if you have the budget to work with. Higher budgets are necessary due to the premium on LinkedIn’s CPCs and CPMs.

Amazon is better positioned than most social media platforms to take over advertising market share from Facebook. That is because ALL social media platforms are affected by the iOS14 shift which reduces attribution. But because Amazon is an eCommerce platform that hosts transactions on its site, it does not rely on cross-app or personalized tracking to be able to attribute purchases and conversions. Be on the lookout for growing ad revenue from Amazon.
