Manage your LinkedIn ad campaigns

Advertise in Hootsuite is a centralized hub for managing all of your paid content activities. You can view and manage all of your LinkedIn ads and boost campaigns in Advertise, whether they were created in Hootsuite or in the LinkedIn Campaign Manager. Track your paid content performance, and adjust your campaigns on the fly to get the most out of your ad spend.

View a list of your LinkedIn ad campaigns

You can view all of the ad campaigns associated with your LinkedIn ad accounts in one place. Every entry in the campaign list shows information on campaign settings, status, how the campaign is performing, and how much budget has been spent.

1. Go to Advertise and select LinkedIn ad campaigns in the navigation pane.
   
2. Select the LinkedIn ad account associated with the ad campaigns you want to view.
   

Hootsuite displays all of your LinkedIn campaigns in a table view, with key performance data for each campaign. Hootsuite doesn't display archived or deleted ad campaigns.

The campaign objective is displayed under each campaign name. The Main result is a key metric that highlights a campaign’s performance based on its objective.

Ad campaigns can have one of the following statuses:

• Scheduled (the campaign has been approved but hasn't started yet)
• Active (the campaign is running)
• Active with issue (the campaign or its ads have errors or warnings)
• Paused
• Paused with issue
• Paused and scheduled
• Completed (campaign has ended)
