Step 1

Decide if Marketing Services is the right industry to target

The Marketing Services industry

The Marketing Services industry encompasses a wide range of activities aimed at promoting products, services, and brands to target audiences. This includes market research, strategic planning, branding, advertising, public relations, content marketing, digital marketing, and social media management. Marketing professionals work to understand consumer behavior, identify target markets, and develop effective strategies to reach those audiences and drive business growth.

What businesses are included

Marketing services encompass a broad spectrum of activities, from conducting market research and developing marketing plans to creating advertising campaigns and managing social media accounts. For example, a marketing agency might specialize in digital marketing, providing services like search engine optimization (SEO), pay-per-click (PPC) advertising, and social media marketing.

When targeting the Marketing 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.

Which businesses are not included

While marketing services play a crucial role in promoting businesses, it's important to distinguish them from other related areas, such as sales or customer service. While marketing focuses on generating interest and leads, sales focus on converting those leads into paying customers. Similarly, customer service focuses on providing support and resolving issues for existing customers. However, these functions often work closely together to ensure a seamless customer experience.
