What is a LinkedIn Conversation Ad?
Conversation Ads are the perfect way to get in front of business decision makers via LinkedIn Messaging. They are ads that appear to Linked In members in their messages, targeting them based on audience criteria you set as the advertiser.
When you set up Conversation Ads, you create multiple call-to-action (CTA) buttons that can link recipients to your landing pages, open a Lead Gen Form on LinkedIn, and encourage engagement with more information in the next message. As the ad recipients interact with your prompts, prepopulated responses and additional options appear based on the decision tree you create at setup. (LinkedIn)
