New objectives enabled with Objective-Based Advertising 

Manage campaigns and optimize results based on your objectives.

Live Video (organic) 

Ability for brands and influencers to share live video streams on LinkedIn.

Interest-based Targeting

Reach members with relevant ads that match member's professional interests – based on the content they share and engage with on LinkedIn and Microsoft's Bing.

"Of course, in a broader sense, interest targeting is nothing new - most social platforms have offered such for some time. But even so, given LinkedIn's unique, professional focus, the option may prove highly valuable...Definitely something worth considering in your 2019 strategy."

Andrew Hutchinson from Social Media Today

  • Easy way to add new products and permissions to apps.
  • Redesigned look and feel to improve discoverability of our products.
