Why it matters:

  • CTV ads allow brands to reach professionals in a lean-back, high-attention environment.

  • First Impression ads ensure your message is seen immediately when a user logs on.

  • This is about making a memorable impact as content consumption habits evolve.

Try this: Start experimenting with longer-form, thought-leadership video content optimized for CTV, and design punchy, direct messages for First Impression slots.

Takeaway:  LinkedIn's new CTV and First Impression video ads offer B2B marketers powerful new avenues for immersive storytelling and capturing executive attention.
