So let's talk about personalizing your LinkedIn ads at scale.

0:05.4

So I was sharing an image with Eric a few minutes ago.

0:09.4

There's a company called UserGems, I believe it is.

0:12.2

And they'll say like, hey, NP Digital, but they won't write NP Digital.

0:16.2

They'll actually slap in her logo.

0:18.0

And the example I sent Eric of these screenshots, they have variations for

0:24.3

all like, hey, AVI, SPL, hey, Frontier, hey, CGS. I don't know all these company names.

0:31.0

But in essence, what they're doing is they're running targeted LinkedIn ads to each and every

1:35.2

And I was asking him, I'm like, have we done this for any clients?

1:41.4

And they were just like, yes, it produces for when we tested it out and we've done it for a handful of customers, they were saying that it produces anywhere from a seven to a less than 20% better ROI for the same spend, which isn't bad.
