Founder B2Linked - The LinkedIn Advertising Agency

Promoted

Oct 2014 โ€“ Present ยท 11 yrs 5 mos

  • I started B2Linked.com, an agency that specializes in account management and consulting with LinkedIn Ads back in 2014. Our team now consists of 4 full-time ad experts and a small army of part-timers. Together, we manage the largest LinkedIn Ads accounts worldwide (as well as some of the smallest and everything in between). We're the only agency that's an official Certified LinkedIn Partner.
  • We make LinkedIn Ads both highly profitable and scalable.
  • I started B2Linked because I developed marketing strategies that all B2B companies can and should be taking advantage of. An agency was the best format to share those strategies, so B2Linked was born.
  • To date, we've managed hundreds of LinkedIn Ads accounts, spent over $110M+ on the platform, and have managed 4 of LinkedIn's top 10 spenders.
  • For accounts spending over $100k/mo, we double your leads at the same budget, in the first 2 months, on average.
