Hack'celeration Agency · LinkedIn Ads 2026The LinkedIn Ads agencythat targets buyers, captures leads, runs ABM, tracks pipeline, scales spendpipeline, not just clicks.
A LinkedIn Ads agency that runs your campaigns for B2B pipeline, not for impressions you can screenshot. LinkedIn lets you target by job title, seniority, function and company, but its CPCs and CPMs are high, so loose targeting just burns budget. We build tight audiences around your ICP, run Sponsored Content, Lead Gen Forms and ABM, wire the Insight Tag and Conversions API, and report spend against opportunities in your CRM.

GeminiA LinkedIn Ads agency that builds pipeline, not just runs ads.
Anyone can boost a post. Targeting the right buying committee, mapping formats to the funnel, and tying spend to closed pipeline is a different job. Here are the four things we own.
- Targeting
The right buyers, by job title, seniority and account
LinkedIn's edge is who you can reach: job title, seniority, function, company size, industry, plus Matched Audiences for your own account lists and website visitors. The trap is targeting so broad you pay premium CPMs to reach interns and competitors. We build tight audiences around your real ICP and buying committee, exclude the noise, and split by funnel stage so cold prospecting and warm retargeting don't share a budget or a message.
See a typical setup - Ad formats
Sponsored Content, Lead Gen Forms and Conversation Ads
Each LinkedIn format earns a different job. Single-image and Document Ads carry the demand and the proof, Lead Gen Forms capture a hand-raise without a landing page, and Message and Conversation Ads open a thread in the inbox for high-intent accounts. We map formats to funnel stage instead of running one ad everywhere, so the spend goes where the format actually converts for your offer.

Insight Tag, Conversions API and pipeline you can trust
Clicks are easy to buy and easy to fake yourself into. We wire the LinkedIn Insight Tag and the Conversions API so conversions feed back even with cookies blocked, define what counts as a real lead with your sales team, and run ABM against named target accounts. Reporting ties spend to MQLs, opportunities and pipeline in your CRM, not to vanity impressions that look good in a screenshot.

Part of your B2B engine, not an isolated channel
LinkedIn Ads works best when it's wired into the rest of your acquisition, not run in a silo. We connect it to your outbound, your content and your retargeting so a prospect who saw a Sponsored post gets a relevant follow-up instead of a cold pitch. We're an automation and AI agency first, so the campaigns plug into the CRM and the workflows your team already runs.

We run LinkedIn Ads like a pipeline channel, not a poster.
Most LinkedIn Ads spend dies the same way: targeting set too broad, one boosted post running everywhere, no Conversions API, and a report full of impressions nobody can tie to a deal. So we treat it like a B2B acquisition channel: a fit check first, tight audiences and ABM, formats mapped to the funnel, and reporting that ends at pipeline in your CRM.
- Audit · your ICP, your offer, your deal value, and whether LinkedIn Ads even pays off for you
- Build · tight audiences, Matched Audiences and ABM lists, exclusions wired before any spend
- Launch · Sponsored Content, Lead Gen Forms and Conversation Ads mapped to funnel stage
- Measure · Insight Tag, Conversions API and CRM, reporting on pipeline not clicks
We measure on pipeline, not vanity reach.
We don't sell a partner tier or a spend trophy. We run LinkedIn Ads tied to your CRM, so every campaign reports against opportunities and pipeline, and we'll tell you when the channel doesn't fit your numbers. That honesty is exactly what's missing when an agency optimizes for the impressions that fill a slide.
- We measure on pipeline, not clicks: spend ties back to opportunities in your CRM, so you know what a lead actually costs.
- We'll tell you when LinkedIn Ads isn't the right fit: its CPCs and CPMs are high, so it pays off for higher-ticket B2B with real deal value, not low-ACV or B2C.
- You leave with the account and the data: the audiences, the Insight Tag and the reporting live in your stack, so your team owns it.
- No badge to sell. We're judged on the pipeline that lands after we leave, not on a partner tier or a spend trophy.
LinkedIn Ads at the core, your B2B funnel around it.
We set up the parts that turn ad spend into qualified pipeline, then connect them to how your team already sells. Here's what a real LinkedIn Ads program covers.
- Setup
ICP & audience build
We turn your ideal customer profile into LinkedIn audiences: job title, seniority, function, company size and industry, plus exclusions so you stop paying premium CPMs to reach the wrong people.
- Setup
Matched Audiences & ABM
We upload your target account and contact lists, build retargeting from website visitors via the Insight Tag, and run account-based campaigns against the named accounts your sales team actually wants.
- Setup
Creative & ad formats
We produce the Sponsored Content, Document Ads, Lead Gen Forms and Conversation Ads each funnel stage needs, with hooks and angles tested against your offer, not recycled from a template.
- Setup
Lead Gen Forms & landing
We set up Lead Gen Forms that capture a hand-raise inside LinkedIn and, where a page converts better, the landing flow behind it, with qualifying questions so sales gets leads worth calling.
- Setup
Insight Tag & Conversions API
We install the Insight Tag and wire the Conversions API so conversions report back even with cookies blocked, and the platform optimizes toward real leads instead of cheap clicks.
- Setup
CRM & pipeline reporting
We connect LinkedIn to your CRM so leads route to the right owner and reporting ties spend to opportunities and pipeline, not impressions that look good and close nothing.
We check the channel fits your numbers, you leave with a plan.
Before quoting anything, we take 60 minutes to look at your ICP, your deal value and your current funnel. You leave with an honest read on whether LinkedIn Ads pays off for you, the audiences and formats to start with, and what to track. Zero pitch, just a straight take on your acquisition.
- An honest read on whether LinkedIn Ads fits your deal value
- The audiences and ABM lists to build first
- The formats worth running for your funnel stage
- A frank take on where your budget belongs instead
How we run a LinkedIn Ads program.
Five steps, in order. We don't launch before the fit check and the tracking are done, we don't run one ad everywhere, and your team owns the account at the end. Each step has a deliverable and you sign off before we move on.
- Step 1 · Fit & audit
Check LinkedIn Ads actually pays off for you
Before touching the ad account, we look at your ICP, your average deal value and your sales cycle. LinkedIn's CPCs and CPMs are among the highest in paid social, so half the value is telling you honestly whether the channel pays off for your numbers or whether your budget belongs on outreach or other ads first. If it fits, we map the audiences and the offer.
- Step 2 · Audience & ABM build
Build tight audiences and your target account lists
We turn your ICP into LinkedIn targeting (job title, seniority, function, company size, industry), upload Matched Audiences from your account and contact lists, and set up retargeting from Insight Tag website visitors. Exclusions go in before any spend so you don't pay premium CPMs to reach competitors, students or your own employees. ABM runs against named accounts, not a vague vertical.
- Step 3 · Creative & formats
Match the ad format to the funnel stage
We build the creative each stage needs: Sponsored Content and Document Ads to create demand and carry proof, Lead Gen Forms to capture a hand-raise without a landing page, Conversation and Message Ads for high-intent accounts. We test hooks and angles against your offer instead of boosting one post everywhere, so the spend lands on the format that converts for your buyer.
- Step 4 · Tracking & launch
Wire the tracking, then launch in stages
We install the Insight Tag and the Conversions API so conversions report back even with cookies blocked, define what counts as a real lead with your sales team, and connect LinkedIn to your CRM. Campaigns launch in stages by funnel and audience, with budgets split so cold prospecting and warm retargeting never compete. You see what a qualified lead costs from week one.
- Step 5 · Optimize & hand over
Optimize on pipeline, then hand you the playbook
We optimize on the metric that matters: cost per qualified lead and pipeline created, not clicks or impressions. We prune the audiences and creatives that don't convert, scale the ones that do, and feed retargeting from the warm traffic. The setup, the audiences and the reporting live in your account, so if you want to run it in-house we hand over the playbook. If you want us on the channel, we talk about that separately.
We're judged on the pipeline that lands.
No partner badge to display, so we lead with what matters: feedback from the B2B teams whose LinkedIn Ads we ran, and whether the channel kept producing pipeline after we set it up. Our Trustpilot reviews come from those teams, not from a marketing deck.
- The account, audiences and tracking live in your stack, owned by your team
- Reporting ties spend to pipeline before anyone scales budget
- Audiences and creatives pruned on cost per qualified lead
- Trustpilot reviews come from the teams we ran LinkedIn Ads for
The questions we get asked on repeat.
What does a LinkedIn Ads agency actually do?
A LinkedIn Ads agency runs your paid campaigns on LinkedIn end to end so they generate B2B pipeline, not just impressions. We build tight audiences from your ICP using job title, seniority, function, company size and industry targeting, set up Matched Audiences and ABM against named accounts, produce the Sponsored Content, Lead Gen Forms and Conversation Ads each funnel stage needs, wire the Insight Tag and Conversions API, and report spend against opportunities in your CRM. The point is qualified leads sales will actually call, not a dashboard full of cheap clicks.How much do LinkedIn Ads cost to run?
LinkedIn is one of the most expensive channels in paid social: CPCs and CPMs run well above Meta or Google because you're paying to reach decision-makers by job title and seniority. That's exactly why we start with a free 60-minute audit to check the channel pays off for your deal value before you commit budget, then quote a fixed scope for management. The LinkedIn ad spend itself you pay LinkedIn directly; we set up the targeting and bids so your budget goes to qualified leads, not wasted reach.Is LinkedIn Ads worth it for our business?
Honestly, not always, and we'll tell you straight. Because LinkedIn's CPCs and CPMs are high, it pays off when you sell higher-ticket B2B with real deal value and a defined buying committee, where one closed account covers a lot of ad spend. If your average contract value is low, or you're selling B2C, the math usually doesn't work and your budget belongs on outreach or other ads first. The free audit exists to answer this before you spend, not after.What targeting options does LinkedIn Ads offer?
LinkedIn's targeting is its real advantage: you can reach people by job title, seniority, job function, company name, company size and industry, which no other channel does as precisely for B2B. On top of that, Matched Audiences let you upload your own account and contact lists and retarget website visitors captured by the Insight Tag. We build audiences around your ICP and buying committee, add exclusions so you don't pay premium CPMs to reach interns, students or competitors, and split campaigns by funnel stage.What ad formats do you run on LinkedIn?
We map formats to the job they do. Single-image and Document Ads as Sponsored Content carry demand generation and proof in the feed. Lead Gen Forms capture a hand-raise with prefilled fields so you get the lead without a landing page or a drop-off. Message and Conversation Ads open a thread directly in the inbox for high-intent accounts. Video and carousel where they fit the offer. We don't run one format everywhere; we put each one where it converts for your funnel stage and your buyer.How do you track and measure LinkedIn Ads performance?
We install the LinkedIn Insight Tag for retargeting and conversion tracking, and wire the Conversions API so conversions report back even when cookies are blocked. Then we define what counts as a real lead with your sales team and connect LinkedIn to your CRM, so reporting ties spend to MQLs, opportunities and pipeline rather than impressions or clicks. You see cost per qualified lead and pipeline created, which is the only number that tells you whether the channel is paying off.Can you run account-based marketing on LinkedIn?
Yes, ABM is where LinkedIn earns its premium. We take the named target accounts your sales team wants, upload them as Matched Audiences, and run campaigns aimed at the buying committee inside those accounts by job title and seniority. We layer retargeting from the Insight Tag so people who engaged see the next message, and coordinate with your outbound so a prospect who saw an ad gets a relevant follow-up instead of a cold pitch. ABM only works when ads and sales pull in the same direction, so we wire that link first.Do you manage LinkedIn Ads or just set them up?
Both, and which one you need depends on your team. We can set up the account, audiences, tracking and first campaigns and hand you the playbook to run in-house, or manage the channel on an ongoing basis with optimization on cost per qualified lead and pipeline. Either way the account, the audiences and the reporting live in your stack, so you're never locked in. We'd rather hand over a setup your team owns than keep you dependent on us to log into your own ad account.
Stop boosting posts. Run it for pipeline.
A 60-minute audit, your channel fit checked, a LinkedIn Ads plan with the targeting and tracking baked in. If your team can run it in-house after setup, we'll hand you the playbook. If we're the right fit, we handle it.
