LinkedIn

LinkedIn is perhaps best known as the social media website for professional networking, allowing users to promote their work, connect with others within their industries, and find, post, or promote job opportunities. 

Advertising on LinkedIn is designed to help advertisers reach customers who are ready to do business and can be used to generate leads, drive website traffic, and build brand awareness.

Linking LinkedIn Accounts 

To get started leveraging Marin's LinkedIn support, you'll need to first link your LinkedIn publisher accounts using Marin's Linking Wizard. 

  1. The first step, as always, is to log into Marin using your login credentials. 
  2. Next, click into the Accounts module in the left-hand navigation.
     
  3. From here, click on the Publishers tab along the top navigation.
  4. Then, click on the Manage Accounts button above the grid.
  5. Once you've launched the Linking Wizard, click the Add Publisher Account button at the bottom of the Wizard.
  6. Select LinkedIn from the list of publishers.
  7. You will be asked for an Account ID and an optional Nickname
  8. Then, click Add Account. This will take you to LinkedIn where you will be prompted to enter additional information. When you're finished with the process, LinkedIn will route you back to Marin and your publisher account will be linked. That's all there is to it!

Important Notes 

  • At present, you will access LinkedIn campaigns from the Accounts > Groups tab.
