Summary from the TLDR Marketing newsletter

LinkedIn's Thought Leader Ads are native posts with ad spend behind them, making them blend seamlessly into users' feeds. The best-performing ads feel organic, use images, and subtly mention the product without making it the focus. To maximize success, advertisers should use hyper-targeting, exclude irrelevant audiences, and set a low cost cap (often $1). Videos tend to underperform, while posts with strong headlines like “How X Did Y” drive higher engagement.
