Create & Use Organic Video Posts in LinkedIn Ads

Updated 

Organic video posts can be used in LinkedIn ads only when you have provided a Call to Action (CTA) and a Website URL within the ad. This can be achieved by building an organic video post from Quick Publisher.

If you do not provide a CTA and a Website URL within the post, you will not be able to select the video within the Ads Composer workflow for your LinkedIn ad campaign.

Note:

  • The creation of an organic video post is not supported in the Creative Library or Ads Composer.

  • If you do not wish to use a CTA or URL, follow the Ads Composer workflow to boost your video post. This is only supported for Brand Awareness (video ad format) and Video Views objectives. It is still not supported for Website Visits, Lead Generation, Website Conversions, and Engagement campaigns.
