LinkedIn Ads management
We manage LinkedIn Ads accounts for B2B businesses that are done paying premium cost-per-click for broad, generic targeting — built around precision on who sees the ad and content worth their scroll.
We’ll go through your targeting, creative and pipeline tracking, then show you where spend is being wasted on the wrong audience.

LinkedIn’s cost per click is not a typo. It is the price of reaching people with actual buying authority, and it punishes a loosely-defined audience far harder than Meta or Google ever would for the same mistake.
What LinkedIn Ads management actually is
LinkedIn Ads management is not boosting a post and hoping the algorithm finds decision-makers on its own. It is the deliberate, ongoing work of defining exactly which job titles, seniority levels and companies are worth that premium cost per click, and building creative precise enough that the people inside that audience actually stop for it.
Most accounts we take over are set up with targeting too broad to justify LinkedIn’s pricing: a job function here, an interest there, cast wide enough that half the clicks were never going to have buying authority in the first place. The ads themselves often look like a brochure, not something a busy professional would stop scrolling for.
We run accounts the other way round: a tightly defined audience built from job title, seniority and company data first, then creative and offers built specifically for that audience, then conversion tracking through to real pipeline so the account can actually be judged on revenue, not form fills.
Our LinkedIn Ads services
Every account starts with a full audit of audience definitions, campaign structure, conversion tracking and creative, because on LinkedIn a loosely defined audience is the single most expensive mistake an account can make. We check job titles, seniority, company lists and exclusions against who the ad is actually meant to reach, not who happened to get swept up in a broad targeting net.
Finding the audience that’s actually buyingFor businesses selling to a defined set of accounts, we build and upload company target lists matched against your actual ideal customer profile, layered with job title and seniority targeting so spend lands on the people inside those companies with real buying authority, not the whole organisation.
A target list, not a guessWe write and design sponsored content and document ads that read like something a buyer would genuinely stop for, not a brochure reformatted for a feed. Document ads in particular let a prospect preview a real asset — a report, a checklist, a template — before they even click, which tends to pull in a more qualified click than a generic banner ever will.
Content worth the scrollLinkedIn’s native Lead Gen Forms pre-fill from a prospect’s profile and keep them inside the platform, which usually lifts completion rates compared with sending expensive clicks to an external landing page they may never load. We set these up properly, routed straight into your CRM, so a lead doesn’t sit unread in a LinkedIn inbox for a week.
Capturing the lead without losing them to a slow pageA LinkedIn lead is not a result on its own; a closed deal is. We connect LinkedIn conversion tracking through to your CRM so spend can be judged against actual pipeline value and closed revenue, not just form fills that never progress past a first email.
Closing the loop from click to dealMonthly reporting ties spend to pipeline and closed deals, broken down by audience segment and creative, not just impressions and clicks that look respectable but say nothing about whether the right people are actually engaging.
Reported on pipeline, not impressionsWho it’s for
LinkedIn is meant to cost more per click; the question is whether that click is reaching someone with real buying authority. We audit the targeting before touching the budget.
Broad targeting wastes spend on companies that were never prospects. We build account-based campaigns matched to your actual target list.
Generic, corporate creative is the fastest way to waste an expensive click. We write content built to earn a stop, not just an impression.
A form fill is not a result. We connect LinkedIn tracking through to your CRM so the account can be judged on closed deals.

Our process
Every stage ends in something you can check yourself: a tighter audience, a live test, a report that ties spend to pipeline.
We audit audience targeting, campaign structure, creative and CRM tracking to find exactly where expensive clicks are being wasted.
Job title, seniority and company-list targeting is rebuilt around your actual ideal customer profile, replacing broad filters with precision.
Sponsored content and document ads are briefed around a genuine insight or asset, not a generic company pitch reformatted for a feed.
Lead Gen Forms and conversion tracking are connected straight into your CRM, so every click can eventually be traced to pipeline.
Monthly reporting ties spend to pipeline and closed deals by audience segment, with targeting refined from what is actually converting.
Why hire a LinkedIn Ads agency
Sectors
Same precision-first discipline, tuned to how your sector actually buys on LinkedIn. Pick yours to see how we manage it.
Account-based campaigns targeted at the buying committee — not just the economic buyer — with Lead Gen Forms routed straight into your CRM for a demo request.
Thought-leadership content and document ads aimed at a tightly defined seniority and function, built for a long consideration window rather than an immediate click.
Niche job-function and industry targeting for specialised equipment and services, where the buying audience on LinkedIn is small and precise, not broad.
Compliant, credible creative built around seniority and company size, with conversion tracking through to a qualified consultation, not just a click.
Campaigns split cleanly between hiring managers and HR decision-makers, since the two rarely respond to the same creative or offer.
Campaigns built around programme enrolment deadlines, targeted by job title and seniority for executive education and postgraduate audiences.

The bigger picture
LinkedIn’s cost per click has climbed steadily as more B2B budget has shifted onto the platform, and that trend shows no sign of reversing. The businesses still winning on LinkedIn are not the ones spending the most; they are the ones who have stopped treating audience definition as a box to tick and started treating it as the actual lever that decides whether the account is profitable.
Account-based targeting, once a niche tactic for enterprise sellers, is now table stakes for any B2B business that knows roughly which companies it wants as customers. Uploading a real target account list and layering job title and seniority on top of it routinely outperforms broad, interest-based targeting, because it stops the platform charging premium rates to reach people who were never going to be the buyer.
The creative side has shifted just as much. A feed full of B2B buyers who scroll past anything that reads like a sales pitch rewards content that looks like it belongs there: a genuinely useful document, a specific data point, an idea worth three seconds of attention. Generic brand creative, the kind that still works reasonably well on other platforms, tends to simply get ignored on LinkedIn.
None of this requires an unlimited budget, but it does require discipline: a target list built from real customer data, creative written for the audience it is actually reaching, and tracking that goes all the way through to a closed deal. Accounts built that way keep getting more efficient as cost per click rises around them. Accounts that skip the work simply pay more for the same mediocre result.
Who you’re working with
Every LinkedIn Ads account at wtfont. has one named lead who runs it end to end: they build the audience, brief the creative and are the person you call when a campaign’s cost per click looks off. No handoffs to a team you have never met.
Swap this block for the real person: their name, photo, years of B2B paid media experience and a result they are proud of. Showing who actually manages the account is the easiest trust signal to add, for clients spending premium budget on precision.
LinkedIn Ads guide
Straight answers to the questions every B2B business asks before committing budget to LinkedIn advertising.
You are paying for access to professional, buying-authority data that no other platform has at the same depth: job title, seniority, company size and function. That access is valuable, which is exactly why a loosely defined audience wastes it so badly.
There is no universal number, but because cost per click runs higher than other platforms, a realistic starting budget needs to be large enough to gather meaningful lead volume within a reasonably tight audience, not stretched thin across a broad one.
If you can name roughly which companies you want as customers, yes. Uploading even a modest target list and layering job title on top of it usually outperforms broad interest-based targeting almost immediately.
A single, narrow campaign with a small, well-known target list can often be managed reasonably in-house. Once account-based targeting, multiple creative formats and CRM-connected tracking all need maintaining together, the workload is usually why businesses hand it to a specialist team.
FAQ
Account audit, audience and account-based targeting, sponsored content and document ad creative, Lead Gen Forms setup connected to your CRM, and monthly reporting tied to pipeline.

We audit the existing account first. Targeting and creative with a genuine track record are kept and refined; anything structurally too broad or untracked is rebuilt. We rarely recommend starting completely from zero.
Yes, as standard where relevant. We work from your existing customer and prospect data, or help build a first target list from your ideal customer profile if you don't have one documented yet.
Yes. We set up Lead Gen Forms and conversion tracking to route straight into HubSpot, Salesforce or most other major CRMs, so leads don't sit unread and the account can be judged on pipeline, not form fills.
