Drive results for business goals

Like all LinkedIn marketing products, Carousel Ads allow advertisers to leverage LinkedIn’s robust targeting and reporting capabilities, so they can better understand the ROI of their campaigns. In addition to the standard metrics, like click-through rates and number of leads, marketers can measure for an ad unit and see clicks and impressions by individual card. The feature currently offers downloadable reports.

Since its beta launch, over 300 advertisers, like Hewlett-Packard Enterprise, RBC, and Volvo Canada, have used Carousel Ads to create fun and informative campaigns to tell stories about their company, products and services, industry, and more. Seventy-five percent (75%) of beta advertisers said that they will use Carousel Ads in their next Sponsored Content campaign, largely due to seeing increased engagement and click-through rates. Carousel Ads for Sponsored Content is now available to all businesses.
