Who we're forSales-led B2B SaaS

Sales-led SaaS needs a different paid media playbook.

Most paid media advice is written for products people search for and buy on the spot. Yours isn't one of them.

01

High ACVs

One deal can pay for months of media. Cheap leads aren't the goal. The right accounts are.

02

Buying committees

One person rarely makes the decision. Paid media needs to reach the people around the deal too.

03

Limited search demand

Your buyers aren't always searching for what you sell. You have to create demand before you can capture it.

04

Longer buying journeys

The ad someone sees today might influence a deal months later. Platform attribution won't tell you the whole story.

What we run

Every channel has a job.
We run them as one system.

We don't just buy media on four platforms. Each channel has a specific job in one funnel, reported against pipeline in your CRM.

Create demand

LinkedIn Ads

Create demand and reach the whole buying committee, by job title, seniority and company.

  • Thought Leader Ads from your team's profiles
  • Company-list ABM on your target accounts
  • Conversation Ads and lead forms for warm pools

LinkedIn Ads →
Capture demand

Google Ads

Capture existing demand when buyers are actively searching. In a low-volume category the job is precision, not scale.

  • Protect branded search as it grows
  • Tight, high-intent and competitor terms
  • Offline CRM conversions, so bidding learns from SQLs, not form fills
Non-brand CPCs up 29% in a year. Waste gets expensive fastDreamdata benchmarks, 2026

Reach & frequency

Meta Ads

Efficient reach, frequency and retargeting. The same buyers after work, at a fraction of LinkedIn's CPM.

  • Retarget site visitors LinkedIn sent you
  • Lookalikes and custom audiences from your CRM
  • Always-on reach so your name sticks

Community

Reddit Ads

Reach technical and specialist audiences in the communities they already use to check vendors.

  • Target the subreddits your buyers read
  • Native, useful copy, never corporate
  • Conversation placements and retargeting

Really enjoyed working with KIIN. They managed our LinkedIn ads end-to-end and did a fantastic job. They were proactive in identifying issues and opportunities, continuously improving performance, and helping us build a robust growth engine that consistently generated weekly meetings with our ICP. Highly recommend working with them.
Ibrahim AshqarCo-Founder & CEO, Lumi AI
Over the course of 7 months, they've 9x'd the number of deals in the pipeline directly from LinkedIn and Google. I'd highly recommend them to anyone needing help with B2B ads.
Sam BurnsHead of Marketing, Giga Energy
We launched LinkedIn, Google, and Meta together and are now exploring GTM outbound with them as well. They really know their stuff and are super proactive; it genuinely feels like they're part of the team.

How we measure

We optimise for different numbers.

Platform dashboards are useful, but they measure activity. We look one step further down, at what actually turns into revenue.

Platform metricWhat Kiin looks at
Total CTRLanding-page CTR Only the clicks that reach your site, not likes and profile views
ClicksLanding-page clicks The traffic you're actually paying for
LeadsDemo requests vs content leads Reported separately, because they're worth very different amounts

Want to take it further?Optional add-on

Turn paid-media signals into outbound.

Your ads tell you which accounts and people are paying attention. We can enrich those signals, check them against your ICP and turn them into warm LinkedIn and email outreach.

It's an extension of the paid media we run, not a replacement for it.

As a bootstrapped founder doing a little bit of everything, I didn't have time to build an outbound motion from scratch. Philip and Kiin handled the entire infrastructure, automations, and Clay setup. I just wrote the emails. Two weeks in, we're getting replies from people saying they actually enjoyed reading our outbound emails, and we've already seen direct signups.

FAQ

Questions people ask first.

What does Kiin do?

Kiin is a paid media agency for sales-led B2B SaaS. We run LinkedIn, Google, Meta and Reddit across the buying journey, creating demand before buyers are searching and capturing it when they are. Every account is benchmarked against $79M of real LinkedIn ad spend.

Who do you work with?

Sales-led B2B SaaS companies with high contract values and buying committees, typically from Series A to mid-market, in the UK, Europe and the US. Clients include Lead Forensics, Sova Assessment, Huq Industries, Giga Energy, Lumi AI and MarketerHire.

Why not just run Google Ads?

Because in most B2B SaaS categories, not enough of your buyers are searching yet. Google is essential for capturing the demand that exists, and we run it tightly on brand, high-intent and competitor terms with CRM conversions. Past that point, extra search budget buys worse traffic. Growth comes from creating demand on LinkedIn, Meta and Reddit, which later shows up as search.

Where does the benchmark data come from?

From LinkedIn advertisers who connect their accounts to Kiin Intelligence, our analytics platform, through LinkedIn's official Marketing API. The data is anonymised and aggregated. No advertiser can be identified, and no one sees another company's account. Method, sample sizes and corrections are published in every Kiin Labs report.

How much does Kiin cost?

LinkedIn Ads is $2,500 a month, LinkedIn + Google is $4,500, and Full Paid Media across LinkedIn, Google, Meta and Reddit is $5,500. GTM Outbound starts from $4,000 a month, and RevOps is scoped to what you need. Ad spend is separate and paid directly to the platforms. We recommend starting with a 3-month pilot and at least £4,000 a month in LinkedIn ad spend.

How fast will we see results?

Most clients see first leads within 2 to 4 weeks and a clear pipeline effect by month 3, tracked in the CRM rather than last-click. Across our clients we've booked 1,700+ demos and influenced $23M+ of pipeline.

Is the free benchmark safe?

Yes. It reads your account through LinkedIn's standard sign-in and cannot edit, pause, launch or spend anything. You can revoke access in one click from LinkedIn's settings.
