Connecting LinkedIn Ad Accounts

Advertise can help you monitor your LinkedIn campaigns, campaign groups, and ads, and Publish can give you a quick look at ad insights for any LinkedIn promoted posts. To access either of these features, you will first need to connect your LinkedIn ad account to Social Media Management.

Note:

At this time, dark shares and their promotions (i.e. Direct Sponsored Content) are not supported in Social Media Management. In addition, promoted insights for LinkedIn posts are not yet available in Measure.
