LinkedIn Ads Agency UK

Quick Answer
Kiin is a UK B2B LinkedIn Ads agency based in London, with three ex-LinkedIn Marketing Solutions employees on the team. We manage 200+ B2B ad accounts and benchmark against 1,000+ accounts connected to Kiin Intelligence. We work with sales-led B2B SaaS companies spending £3,000–£50,000 a month on LinkedIn, with deal sizes of £5,000 ACV and above. Management fees are £2,500, £5,500 or £9,500 a month depending on channel coverage, published openly rather than quoted on a call. What makes us different from most UK LinkedIn agencies: we run LinkedIn Ads and signal-based outbound off one dataset, and we report on landing page clicks rather than the inflated click figure LinkedIn shows by default.

What We Do

We run full-funnel LinkedIn Ads for B2B SaaS companies, and we connect them to outbound so the two work off the same data rather than competing for the same budget.

In practice that means three things running together:

LinkedIn Ads. Thought leader ads at the top to build trust and frequency against a defined account list, 180-day retargeting through the middle, and conversion campaigns — conversation ads, lead gen forms, single image to dedicated landing pages — at the bottom. Most accounts we inherit have the top and the bottom and nothing in between.

Signal-based outbound. The people engaging with your ads are the warmest list you own, and almost nobody uses it. Website visitors, ad engagers, post commenters, profile viewers, new followers — enriched through Clay, checked against your ICP, and passed to outbound or straight to your SDRs with the context attached.

Founder and exec content. Ghostwritten LinkedIn content for the people whose names carry weight, built to run as thought leader ads rather than to collect likes.

💡 The thing that connects them
Ads build awareness, outbound captures intent, content builds trust — and each one makes the others cheaper. Run them separately and you pay three times for the same audience. That loop is the whole reason Kiin exists, and it is the part most agencies structurally cannot do because their paid team and their outbound team are different departments with different reporting lines.

Who We Work With

We are deliberately narrow. UK and EU B2B SaaS, plus US companies who want a UK-based team.

  • Sales-led B2B SaaS with a real sales team, not self-serve product-led
  • £3,000–£50,000 a month in LinkedIn ad spend
  • £5,000 ACV and above, with sales cycles of three to nine months
  • Concentrated in SaaS, cybersecurity, fintech, martech, HR tech and developer tools

We are a bad fit if you are spending under about £2,000 a month, selling something transactional with a short cycle, or looking for someone to run LinkedIn as one line item in a fifteen-channel plan. LinkedIn rewards depth, and depth is the only thing we sell.

Why UK Companies Choose Us

Three ex-LinkedIn employees on the team

Omar Aboushady spent four years inside LinkedIn Marketing Solutions. Yasmin El-Deeb and Joanna Saunders both came from LinkedIn as well. That is three people who have seen the platform from the inside, on a team of eight. Most UK agencies have none. It matters most in the unglamorous places: knowing which Campaign Manager defaults are optimised for LinkedIn's revenue rather than yours, and why an account's historical performance follows it.

We report on landing page clicks, not clicks

This is the difference that changes numbers rather than adjectives. LinkedIn's headline clicks field counts likes, comments, shares and profile clicks alongside actual visits to your site. On thought leader ads the gap runs 3–10×. Most agencies report that field as traffic, which inflates click-through rate and understates cost per click by the same multiple.

Every number we report is calculated on landingPageClicks. Your first Kiin report will probably look worse than your last agency's. It will also be the first one that is true. We wrote up the full argument in what a good LinkedIn Ads CTR actually is.

We built our own tooling

Kiin operates the only agency-built LinkedIn Ads MCP server — 69 tools over the LinkedIn Marketing API that let us query live account data directly and benchmark against 1,000+ accounts. It is why an audit takes a minute rather than a morning, and why we can answer "how much did we waste on out-of-ICP titles last month" without three exports and a spreadsheet.

LinkedIn Agency Partner with API access

Partner status with Marketing API Standard tier. Roughly forty UK agencies hold partner status, so it is not unique — but combined with the API access it is what makes the tooling above possible.

What Is Different About Running LinkedIn Ads in the UK

Four things UK advertisers hit that the American playbooks do not mention.

Audience sizes are smaller, so frequency arrives faster. A tightly defined UK B2B SaaS audience might be 15,000–40,000 people, where the US equivalent is several hundred thousand. That is an advantage for account-based work and a trap for budget pacing: the same monthly spend that would be reasonable in the US will saturate a UK audience and drive frequency into double figures. Penetration and frequency need watching weekly, not monthly.

Job titles do not map cleanly. UK job titles run flatter and less standardised than US equivalents. "Head of" is a senior role in a UK company and often a mid-level one in an American org chart. Seniority filters trained on US conventions consistently mis-target in the UK, and it is a common source of demographic waste we find on inherited accounts.

Financial services promotions are regulated. If you are a UK fintech advertising anything that constitutes a financial promotion, FCA rules apply and LinkedIn's own verification requirements sit on top. This catches fintechs mid-campaign more often than it should.

Budget minimums bite harder in GBP. The commonly quoted figure is $5,000–$10,000 a month in media to gather enough data at $2–$3 a click. In sterling against a smaller audience, the practical floor for a genuine full-funnel test is around £3,000 a month in media, on top of management. Below that you are not running a strategy, you are running one campaign and hoping.

How We Work

Compound
Feed engagement signals into outbound

Weeks 1–2. We audit what exists using the eight-layer diagnostic, agree the ICP, and build the target account list. If you cannot name the companies you want as customers, we stop here and fix that first — everything downstream depends on it.

Weeks 3–6. Full funnel goes live. Thought leader ads against the account list, retargeting layers segmented by engagement depth, conversion campaigns underneath. Tracking gets rebuilt properly, because it is broken on roughly half the accounts we inherit.

Week 6 onward. Engagement data starts feeding outbound. This is where the compounding begins and it is why the first three months look different from month four.

Reporting is bi-weekly on a call, with a written monthly report. Every number is calculated on landing page clicks and, where a CRM is connected, tied to influenced pipeline rather than last-click leads.

⚠️ What we will tell you in month one that you may not want to hear
Demand generation takes three to six months to show properly. If you need pipeline in thirty days, the honest answer is retargeting and conversation ads to people who already know you — and if you have no warm audience yet, there is nothing to retarget. Any agency promising a transformed pipeline in month one on a cold account is selling you something.

Pricing

Three tiers, flat monthly management fee, ad spend separate. No setup fees, no long lock-ins, no line-item invoicing for every asset.

TierPer monthFor
LinkedIn Ads£2,500Teams already spending on LinkedIn and not getting pipeline from it
Full Paid Media£5,500Multi-channel teams with LinkedIn as the demand engine
Paid Media + GTM Outbound£9,500Teams wanting paid and outbound running off one dataset

For context, LinkedIn ads agencies typically charge $3,000–$12,000 a month on a flat retainer, or 10–20% of ad spend. We charge flat deliberately: a percentage of spend pays your agency more for spending more, which is a poor incentive to hand someone managing your budget. Full detail on how agency fees work is in what a LinkedIn Ads agency costs.

Results and Clients

Across the client base: 1,700+ demos booked, $23M+ in pipeline, and an average 33× return on ad spend. Individual accounts vary considerably and anyone quoting you a single ROAS number as a promise is quoting an average, not a forecast.

Named clients include Lead Forensics, Sova Assessment, Giga Energy, Huq Industries, Credit Logic, MarketerHire and Fibbler.

Sam Burns, Head of Marketing at Giga Energy, on seven months of work: "They've 9x'd the number of deals in the pipeline directly from LinkedIn and Google."

Kirsty Dawe, CMO at Lead Forensics: "We launched LinkedIn, Google, and Meta together and are now exploring GTM outbound with them as well. It genuinely feels like they're part of the team."

The Team

Eight people, London-based, working across the UK, EU and US. Three came from LinkedIn. You can see who they all are on the about page — no account managers you meet once and never speak to again, and the person auditing your account is the person running it.

Kiin was founded by Phil Ilic, who has run LinkedIn Ads and nothing else for seven years across 200+ accounts.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a LinkedIn Ads agency cost in the UK?+
LinkedIn Ads agencies typically charge £2,000 to £10,000 a month as a flat management fee, or 10 to 20 percent of ad spend. That fee never includes the ad spend itself. Kiin charges £2,500 a month for LinkedIn Ads management, £5,500 for full paid media, and £9,500 for paid media plus GTM outbound. LinkedIn also needs a realistic media budget behind it: around £3,000 a month minimum for a genuine full-funnel test in the UK, because CPCs run higher than other platforms and smaller UK audiences saturate quickly.
What makes a good UK LinkedIn Ads agency?+
Four things worth checking. Whether they specialise in LinkedIn or treat it as one channel among many, because LinkedIn rewards depth. Whether they report on landing page clicks rather than LinkedIn's total clicks field, which counts likes and profile clicks as traffic. Whether they run any mid-funnel retargeting, since most accounts jump straight from cold awareness to demo requests. And whether they can connect ad spend to pipeline rather than only reporting cost per lead.
Do you only work with UK companies?+
No. Roughly half our clients are UK and EU, half are US. We are a UK-based team in London, which suits UK and EU companies wanting a team in their timezone, and US companies who specifically want European coverage or a UK-based partner. The work is remote-first either way.
What is the minimum budget to run LinkedIn Ads in the UK?+
About £3,000 a month in media for a genuine full-funnel test, on top of management fees. Below roughly £2,000 a month you cannot run top, middle and bottom of funnel simultaneously, which means you are running a single campaign rather than a strategy. UK audiences are smaller than US equivalents, so budget saturates them faster, but the floor for meaningful data collection is still higher than most people expect.
How long before we see results?+
Direct response campaigns such as lead gen forms and conversation ads can produce leads within two to four weeks, provided there is a warm audience to convert. Demand generation takes three to six months to show properly, because it works by building familiarity across many touchpoints before anyone raises a hand. Any agency promising transformed pipeline in month one on a cold account is describing something that does not happen.
Are LinkedIn CPCs higher in the UK than the US?+
It depends far more on audience and vertical than on country. A tightly defined UK audience in a competitive vertical such as fintech or cybersecurity will cost more per click than a broad US audience in a less contested one. The bigger practical difference is audience size: UK audiences are smaller, so the same spend produces higher frequency faster, and saturation rather than cost per click is usually what limits a UK campaign.
Do you work with companies outside B2B SaaS?+
Rarely. We are built around sales-led B2B SaaS with deal sizes of £5,000 ACV and above and sales cycles of three to nine months. The full-funnel approach depends on long consideration periods and high deal values. If you are selling something transactional with a short cycle, LinkedIn is usually the wrong platform and we will say so.
Are you a LinkedIn Partner?+
Yes. Kiin is a LinkedIn Agency Partner with Marketing API Standard tier access. Around forty UK agencies hold partner status so it is not unique on its own, but the API access is what allows us to build our own tooling, including the LinkedIn Ads MCP server we operate.
