LinkedIn has shared some new research into the effectiveness of connected TV (CTV) outreach for the LinkedIn audience, and how you can utilize LinkedIn’s CTV promotion options to best effect.

The 33-page report, conducted in partnership with Magna Media Trials, includes a range of insights into modern consumption behaviors, and how decision-makers are increasingly engaging with CTV.

Which could be relevant to your planning, as you look to maximize your LinkedIn marketing spend.

So now, via LinkedIn’s Campaign Manager, you can extend your promotions to be displayed on TV sets, providing another way to maximize your exposure to an engaged audience.
