Step 1
Decide if Advertising Services is the right industry to target
The Advertising Services industry
The Advertising Services industry is all about creating and delivering compelling messages to target audiences. This sector includes a wide range of activities, from developing creative campaigns to placing ads in various media channels, like television, radio, print, and online platforms. Advertising agencies, public relations firms, and media buying agencies all fall under this umbrella, working to build brand awareness, promote products and services, and influence consumer behavior.
What businesses are included
Advertising services encompass a broad spectrum of activities, including traditional advertising (TV, radio, print), digital marketing (search engine optimization, social media marketing, email marketing), public relations, and creative services. For instance, an advertising agency might create a television commercial for a new product launch, while a digital marketing agency might manage a company's social media presence.
When targeting the Advertising Services industry on LinkedIn, your search will automatically cover all related sub-industries. To maximize the relevance of your leads, you may want to exclude certain sub-industries that don’t align with your ideal customer profile.
Sub-industries included in Advertising Services:
Which businesses are not included
It's important to distinguish advertising services from other marketing activities like market research or direct sales. While these activities can complement advertising efforts, they are not directly involved in creating or placing advertisements. For example, a market research firm might provide insights into consumer preferences, but they wouldn't create the actual ad campaign.

Run your Sales Navigator search
Setting your lead filters
Open LinkedIn Sales Navigator and select the ‘Leads’ tab. Use the filters on the left side to narrow down your search. Enter 'Advertising Services' in the ‘Industry’ filter, and add the job titles you want to target in the ‘Current job title’ field.
How many leads can I export?
You can export up to 2,500 leads per day from Sales Navigator. If your search results is higher than this limit, consider narrowing your filters or breaking your search results into multiple saved lead lists that can be exported over several days.
Do I have to use LinkedIn Sales Navigator?
