Key takeaways

Account-level engagement tells you a company is interested. It doesn't tell you who inside it, and that gap is exactly what needs closing before outreach means anything to sales.

Combining LinkedIn's Company Intelligence API with the right workflow can surface persona-level signals, so you can identify and prioritize buyer groups inside your target accounts.

It's still early days, and the API isn't fully self-serve yet (requires provisioning). Teams are experimenting with how this fits into existing ABM workflows.

What the session covered

What the session covered

Knowing a company engaged with your ads isn't the same as knowing who inside it did. That gap - between account-level engagement and persona-level signal - is what Ivailo Shipochki and Dimitar Ivanov spent the session closing.

LinkedIn's Company Intelligence API gives advertisers company-level engagement data - impressions, clicks, leads, conversions - tied to specific target accounts. That's a real step up from account lists that tell you nothing about intent. But on its own, it doesn't tell you who inside the company is engaging.

Ivailo and Dimitar showed a real use case for closing that gap:

  • Layering the API's engagement data together with LinkedIn's targeting attributes - job titles, skills, seniority
  • Building that into a workflow that surfaces which roles inside a target account are likely engaging
  • Then using that output to identify and prioritize buyer groups inside target accounts

The core shift is moving from "this company engaged with our ads" to "these personas (role-level) from this company are engaging." That's the difference between a warm account sitting on a list and an actual conversation worth having for sales - the kind that's more likely to turn into a real opportunity, not just another logged touchpoint.

Still early, and there's a lot left to experiment with, but the direction was clear to everyone in the room.
