Salesforce has long been a leader in cloud-based solutions, helping businesses transform through technology. Building brand awareness through both linear and Connected TV is fundamental to Salesforce’s marketing strategy \u2013 but running a real-time performance diagnostic posed a challenge. The longer it took to gather actionable insights, the greater the risk of ad spend being wasted on the wrong audience. The iSpot integration with LinkedIn provided Salesforce with the tools to redefine their TV advertising strategy and align their ad spend with audience-first principles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenge: Eliminating Ad Waste to Effectively Reach Decision Makers<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Salesforce\u2019s reliance on broad linear TV campaigns often led to significant wasted media. While linear TV effectively delivered broad reach, it struggled to reach the core audience of business decision-makers who would resonate with Salesforce ads.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • With numerous audience segments to consider, Salesforce needed a better way to evaluate whether its TV ads were reaching decision-makers with purchasing influence.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Traditional ad metrics provided little clarity on how Salesforce campaigns were performing in real time, leaving teams unable to optimize media spend quickly or effectively.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
    <\/div>\n\n\n\n

    Solution: Leveraging CTV Ads and iSpot Audience Measurement<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • To tackle these challenges, Salesforce turned to Connected TV Ads through LinkedIn, and audience measurement through iSpot, facilitating a shift from a channel-first to an audience-first approach.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Salesforce leveraged LinkedIn\u2019s unique audience data to precisely identify and target business decision-makers. The trusted environment of LinkedIn’s member-first platform provided Salesforce with control over which audience segments were seeing their ads.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • iSpot’s integration with LinkedIn allowed Salesforce to measure on-target reach across linear TV, CTV, and other platforms. These insights illuminated gaps in their linear TV campaigns and highlighted the ability to drive incremental reach through LinkedIn’s CTV Ads.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
