Disclosure and methodology
Kiin is a LinkedIn Ads agency and we are on this list. Every "best agencies" article is published by someone with an interest, usually without saying so. We would rather say it first and give you enough detail to disagree with us. Every fact about another agency below was read from that agency's own website on 14 September 2026; where a site does not state something, we say so rather than guess.
Scored on: what the agency actually does on LinkedIn (ads, content, outreach, or a mix) · measurement honesty (landing page clicks or LinkedIn's total click figure) · pricing transparency · verifiable credentials (partner status, named clients, published data). Not scored on: size, awards, or the website.
Three kinds of LinkedIn marketing agency
"LinkedIn marketing agency" is searched by people who want three different things, and the agencies that rank for it are three different businesses:
- Ads-led — Campaign Manager: thought leader ads, retargeting, conversation ads, lead gen forms. Measured on pipeline. This is what Kiin, B2Linked, Impactable, Fill My Funnel and KlientBoost do.
- Content and brand-led — organic company page and executive content, personal branding, ghostwriting, employee advocacy. Measured on followers, impressions and inbound. Sculpt and Linkedist.
- Outreach-led — connection requests, InMail sequences, appointment setting, often with ads attached. Measured on meetings booked. Cleverly.
Decide which of the three you are buying before you compare prices. A £3,000-a-month ads retainer and a £3,000-a-month ghostwriting retainer are not competitors.
The agencies
1. Kiin — best for full-funnel LinkedIn Ads with founder content and outbound off one dataset
Three ex-LinkedIn Marketing Solutions employees on an eight-person team. LinkedIn Agency Partner with Marketing API Standard tier, and operates its own LinkedIn Ads MCP server benchmarking against 1,000+ connected accounts. Publishes the largest independent thought leader ads study — $8.4M of TLA spend, 464 accounts, paired within account.
Covers all three kinds of LinkedIn marketing under one roof: managed LinkedIn Ads at $2,500 a month, founder content written to run as thought leader ads, and signal-based outbound fed by ad engagement. Reporting is on landing page clicks, never LinkedIn's total click figure. Half the client base is American; the rest UK and EU. Named clients: Giga Energy, MarketerHire, Lead Forensics, Sova Assessment.
Where we are the wrong choice: under $3,000 a month in media, transactional products with a two-week cycle, or if you want organic content without ads behind it. We do B2B, and content at Kiin exists to be promoted.
2. B2Linked — best for pure LinkedIn Ads tenure
AJ Wilcox has run LinkedIn Ads and nothing else for over a decade, with a large managed-spend history and the best-known podcast in the category. If the single thing you care about is how long the agency has been doing exactly this, B2Linked has more of it than anyone.
Tradeoff: LinkedIn Ads only, by design. No content or outreach; if you need Google or Meta alongside, it is a second vendor.
3. Impactable — best for LinkedIn Ads with paid search and programmatic attached
Justin Rowe's agency positions on "pipeline engineering" with LinkedIn as the intelligence hub: LinkedIn Ads at the core, paid search, programmatic retargeting and outreach around it, and its own DemandSense platform. States $50M+ in B2B ad spend managed, a 5.0 Clutch rating and first independent LinkedIn CAPI-certified partner status. Deep in cybersecurity, SaaS and financial services; Lacework and HeyReach are the published case studies.
Tradeoff: the site was mid-domain-migration in August–September 2026 (impactable.com ↔ impactable.marketing), which is worth asking about if you care about how carefully the agency runs its own house. Outside the core verticals the advantage narrows.
4. Fill My Funnel — best UK LinkedIn Ads specialist
Tom Tigwell's agency does LinkedIn Ads and nothing else, including white-label delivery for other agencies. States 150+ companies served and a large managed-spend figure; named clients include Asana, ACCA Global and Prolific. The FAQ is unusually candid about commitment — a four-to-six-month starting engagement at £3–4k a month — which is the honest shape of a LinkedIn programme.
Tradeoff: LinkedIn only, so no content, outbound or second channel. Pricing is guidance in an FAQ rather than a published rate card.
5. KlientBoost — best for LinkedIn plus Google plus conversion rate optimisation at scale
A large performance agency that pairs LinkedIn Ads with conversion rate optimisation and Google, publishes several hundred case studies and reports hitting 83% of client goals in Q2 2026. Fee is tiered by complexity rather than a percentage of spend. Named clients include Airbnb, Segment and Juniper Networks.
Tradeoff: LinkedIn is one service line inside a 100-person agency. If you want a specialist who runs nothing else, this is the wrong shape; if you want LinkedIn, Google and the landing pages handled by one vendor with process, it is a strong one.
6. Sculpt — best for organic and paid B2B social run together
Josh Krakauer's agency has done "100% B2B social" since 2012 — company page content, community management, executive and employee programmes, B2B influencer campaigns and paid social, with video production in-house. Named clients: KnowBe4, Monotype, Remote, Loom, Blend, Netscout. If your LinkedIn problem is that nobody at the company posts and the company page is dead, this is the kind of agency that fixes that.
Tradeoff: breadth. Paid LinkedIn is one of five paid platforms and one of many services; expect social-team depth rather than Campaign Manager depth.
7. Linkedist — best for personal branding and executive content in Europe
A LinkedIn marketing agency in the content sense: profile and personal-brand programmes for founders and executives, LinkedIn content creation, workshops and audits, with ads and — newly — ChatGPT advertising and GEO alongside. Published results are follower and impression growth (Detra Solar, CloudVisor, WhiteBridge.ai) rather than pipeline. Also publishes the personal-branding agency lists that rank for this term in the US and UK.
Tradeoff: measured on followers and impressions. If you need pipeline attribution from LinkedIn, an ads-led agency is the better fit and Linkedist is the content layer beside it.
8. Cleverly — best for cheap LinkedIn Ads bolted onto outbound
Cleverly is primarily an outbound business — LinkedIn outreach, appointment setting, cold email and outsourced SDRs — with a LinkedIn Ads product priced by ad-spend tier from $999 a month. The site claims large aggregate lead and pipeline numbers and lists Uber, PayPal and Google among clients. The published pricing is the most transparent on this list.
Tradeoff: the ads product is priced as an add-on to outbound, and at $999 a month for $3,000 of spend the question is how much senior attention the account gets. If LinkedIn Ads is the main event, look at the ads-led agencies above.
9. Ginger Digital — best for UK SMEs that want LinkedIn and Google Ads from one small team
A Berkshire PPC agency that ranks first in the UK for "LinkedIn ads agency" with a page that has no links pointing to it — which tells you how open the UK market is. Runs LinkedIn alongside Google, YouTube and Bing, with video production in-house. Named clients include Fujitsu, BSI Group, Korn Ferry and Hampshire Trust Bank. The £500–£2,000 a month budget guidance is the lowest on this list.
Tradeoff: at £500–£2,000 a month in media, you are running one campaign, not a funnel. Right for a UK SME testing the channel; wrong for a SaaS company that needs thought leader ads, retargeting and conversion layers running together.

What good looks like before you hire anyone
Any agency on this list will send you a case study. Ask instead what their accounts look like against the platform. From LinkedIn Ads benchmarks 2026, built on Kiin Labs' study of 464 accounts:
| Metric (medians) | Value | Ask the agency |
|---|---|---|
| Landing page CTR | 0.46% | "Do you report this or total CTR?" |
| Cost per landing page click | $14.71 (good: $8.37) | "What is your median across accounts?" |
| CPM | $65 (good: $36) | "How do you set bids?" — 63% of cost per click is CPM |
| True account frequency | 9.5 (campaigns report 3.5) | "How do you measure frequency across campaigns?" |
An agency that cannot engage with these numbers is reporting to you from the platform's default view, which is the view the platform designed.
How to choose
- "Do you report clicks or landing page clicks?" On LinkedIn, if they do not immediately know the difference, everything they have ever reported has been inflated. On Google, the equivalent is "do you report brand and non-brand separately?"
- "Show me a mid-funnel campaign you built." If they cannot show a retargeting layer segmented by engagement depth, they build half a funnel.
- "Is your fee a percentage of spend?" Percentage-of-spend pays the agency more for spending more of your money. Ask why they chose their model.
- "Who works on my account?" Is the person in the pitch the person doing the work?
- "Can you connect spend to pipeline?" If the answer is cost per lead, they measure the top of your funnel and call it results.
