LinkedIn Marketing Case Study
Discover how Llama Lead Gen successfully developed a LinkedIn strategy designed to inform and educate vaccine hesitant audiences about the COVID-19 vaccine and drive traffic to reputable sources from which to conduct research in one of the largest digital marketing campaigns in history.
LinkedIn is the largest professional networking social media platform. Therefore, it is uniquely positioned for B2B marketers to succeed. LinkedIn offers a wide range of ad types from top-of-funnel awareness level campaigns to more middle-of-funnel lead generation ad types that directly embed forms and autofill contact information. Due to the higher quality of lead for B2B marketers, LinkedIn can be more expensive to develop campaigns for - unless you know what you’re doing.
Three campaigns were run on LinkedIn, primarily focused on healthcare professionals/frontline workers, underrepresented minorities, and religious communities that were disproportionately affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.
The primary creatives for these campaigns were sponsored content single image and video ads that were developed in both English and in Spanish in order to improve the overall effectiveness of the message.
Through these campaigns, we directly asked and answered some of the most common questions that skeptical individuals have about the COVID-19 vaccine. By using not just real healthcare professionals but some of the top minds in the industry, like the President and Dean of the Morehouse School of Medicine and the President of the National Medical Association, among others, we were able to add legitimacy to our overall message on LinkedIn.

The Llama Lead Gen team is one of the strongest examples I have personally witnessed of a good balance in distribution of labor. Every member on the team was actively involved in leading various meetings, offering suggestions to improve campaign performance.
