Everything I’ve ever learned about LinkedIn Ads I’ve learned from fewer than 10 LinkedIn Ads consultants on LinkedIn.
I’m terrible at institutional learning (can’t undo 2 years of homeschooling), so instead of taking LinkedIn ads courses, I follow these LinkedIn Ads experts religiously and read all their content.
I did consulting gigs with some of them, and some have even been kind enough to give me free LinkedIn ads audits and consultations for our ABM campaign program (which, as you know from this post, runs exclusively on LinkedIn).
So the little I can do in return is to give them a shoutout here. If you’re seriously considering running your ABM programs on LinkedIn in 2026, give them a follow now because their posts are a treasure trove of ideas on how to improve your campaigns and what ads to run.
I’m including some of their best posts I’ve saved from the past month below, so you can see how much value they’re sharing on LinkedIn, completely for free.
(In no particular order, I love all my kids equally yadda yadda):
My list of top LinkedIn Ads Experts to follow: what they do and how you can work with them.
Plus, the recent content about LinkedIn ads advice they’ve been posting on LinkedIn that I’ve been saving religiously for later:
LinkedIn Ads consultant / expert | Company they work at | Contact details | Pricing (ballpark) | What they usually talk about in their LinkedIn posts |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Tim Davidson | Founder at B2B Rizz | Website: b2brizz.com – “Book an intro call” (Calendly). | LinkedIn Ads audit from about $1,000. | No-fluff LinkedIn Ads advice for B2B SaaS, ABM-focused campaign setups, simple cold vs warm frameworks, targeting and exclusions, |

Pricing is custom and typically on a monthly investment level based on markets, inboxes, and personas. | “Creator-led ABM” and inbound-led outbound systems, using LinkedIn as the #1 pipeline channel, tool-heavy workflows (Clay, Ocean, Apollo, ZenABM, visitor de-anonymisation tools), |
Tim Davidson is a NY-based (Rochester, specifically, now I know where that is…) LinkedIn Ads specialist (and self-described “semi-funny content creator”) and the founder of B2B Rizz, a boutique LinkedIn Ads and ABM consultancy for B2B SaaS. If you’ve ever seen a guy dropping painfully sane LinkedIn Ads advice while cutting fruit in his kitchen or driving through the countryside, yep, that’s Tim:
B2B Rizz focuses on turning LinkedIn Ads from an expensive awareness channel into a pipeline engine, where strategy, campaign architecture, creative feedback, audience building, and reporting are all part of the package.
Tim’s whole schtick is “no fluff, no magic hacks,” which really just means deep practical experience running large B2B budgets and tying spend back to revenue.
B2B Rizz offers different ways to engage depending on your budget and maturity. You can start with a one-off LinkedIn Ads audit (an hour or so of Tim going through your account and telling you exactly what’s broken, starting from just $1,000), or go into ongoing management where his team runs your campaigns end to end.
Pricing for LinkedIn ads consulting work on B2B Rizz’s site is transparent (which is super-rare, right?) for smaller accounts, with “Lite” LinkedIn Ads management around the low-thousands USD per month plus your ad spend, scaling up for higher budgets.
To get started, just hit the “Book an Intro Call” button on his website and schedule via Calendly, or connect with Tim directly on LinkedIn and DM him , since he’s very active there.
LinkedIn posts are ephemeral, so I’ve decided these two deserve to be immortalized:
Gabriel Ehrlich is the founder of Remotion, a Tel Aviv-based LinkedIn Ads agency that works almost exclusively with B2B SaaS and tech companies. I had a couple of really great calls with Gabriel back in October-November 2025, and really wanted to work with him on our ABM on LinkedIn program, but the stars didn’t align.
Remotion is one of those rare shops that decided to be world-class at exactly one thing: LinkedIn Ads. They build and manage campaigns across the whole funnel, from pure awareness and category creation, through lead gen and demand gen, all the way to opportunity acceleration.
Beyond campaign setup, they also help with positioning, creative angles, and landing page optimization, then plug everything into your CRM so you can track a real pipeline. This is something you can do with ZenABM out of the box too, since ZenABM pushes your LinkedIn Ads engagements directly into your CRM automatically.
Gabriel shares a lot of his thinking in public, so when you hire Remotion you’re basically getting the “LinkedIn Ads for B2B SaaS” playbook he’s been iterating on for years.
Remotion publishes ballpark pricing on their site so you know what you’re getting into before the first call. Typical retainers start in the mid four figures USD per month and scale with your LinkedIn ad spend, since the more you spend, the more complex the reporting and experimentation they’ll run.
To engage, go to remotion.io and book a strategy call via their contact form. You can also reach out by email from the website or message Gabriel on LinkedIn if you want to sense-check whether you’re a good fit before committing.
Philip Ilic is a Lisbon-based LinkedIn Ads specialist and the founder of KiiN, a LinkedIn Ads agency obsessed with Thought Leader Ads. He’s another LinkedIn ads expert I’ve personally worked with, having had a mini-LinkedIn ads audit and then a paid consulting call with him to go over our new LinkedIn ABM ads strategy.
KiiN’s value proposition is “LinkedIn inbound on steroids that turns content into revenue,” and that’s not an exaggeration. Instead of treating ads and organic as separate universes, Philip helps you turn your best-performing LinkedIn posts into paid Thought Leader Ads, then layers on smart targeting (cold, retargeting, and list-based audiences) to get those posts in front of exactly the right buyers.
Phillip will help you plan the right content, amplify your top posts with Thought Leader Ads (which every LinkedIn ads expert is talking about all day long now, for a good reason, since they deliver and give you much cheaper cost per result than other formats). He’ll also help you systematically convert that attention into conversations via DM ads (which he wrote an interesting post about recently):
ZenABM helps you track the impact of your Thought Leader ads on your pipeline from LinkedIn Ads by combining company-level engagement data from the LinkedIn Ads API with deal data from your CRM.
It does this in a meticulous way, only counting deals that opened after the company has engaged with your Thought Leader Ads.
It takes under 2 minutes to set up and costs just from $59 per month.
Give it a go if you’re serious about using Thought Leader Ads in your LinkedIn ads strategy.
If you want to work with KiiN, the first step is usually a free audit or strategy session.
Philip keeps pricing custom since it depends a lot on your posting cadence, budget, and whether you want coaching vs. full-service execution, so you won’t find rigid tiers on the site. Instead, go to kiin.co, click the “Speak to me” / “Book a free audit” call-to-action, or email him directly at the address provided there.
You can also DM Philip on LinkedIn. He’s constantly posting massive long posts based on his winning LinkedIn Ads tactics and is very responsive there.
As I wrote above, Phillip doesn’t just write LinkedIn posts. He writes entire mini-courses about LinkedIn Ads on his LinkedIn. I’ve bookmarked a lot of them recently and they are really long, so here’s just a handful (and I obviously can’t keep this post pretty, sorry):
Ali Yildirim is the co-founder and CEO of Understory, an “all-bound” growth agency that combines paid media, outbound, and lifecycle to build actual revenue engines for B2B tech companies. Again, I’ve had a couple of calls with Ali and his team, and would have been happy to work with them, were it not for some overlap with what our in-house team is already doing.
Understory is especially strong on paid media (LinkedIn Ads, Google Ads, and paid social), but they don’t stop at ad ops. I’d say they are the best choice for companies that don’t have an in-house LinkedIn ads manager, ABM manager, and GTM engineer, since they cover all the bases and provide this bespoke “end to end” done-for-you allbound experience. They think in systems: how your creative, offers, outbound sequences and sales team fit together.
If you’ve seen Ali on podcasts or LinkedIn, you’ll know he’s big on modern ad formats (Conversation Ads, Thought Leader Ads) and on using your own data to drive performance. Understory clients often point to LinkedIn becoming one of their top acquisition channels after Ali’s team refactors their accounts.
Understory works almost exclusively on retainer (6 months minimum) with B2B SaaS and tech firms that are ready to scale.
Pricing is scoped based on your channels, ad spend, and how much of the funnel you want them to own. A full-funnel experience (everything done for you, hands-off) will be in the low 5 figures monthly retainer for 12 months, with a minimum 6 month commitment. This makes sense since you can’t see the impact of LinkedIn Ads on revenue after just 3 months of running them, especially if your sales cycles are long (as they are in B2B).
If you want to track LinkedIn ads’ impact on pipeline over the long run, ZenABM provides easy-to-use LinkedIn ads attribution dashboards by combining CRM data with LinkedIn Ads API data and using smart pivots to show you the actual impact of ads on your revenue and pipeline.
To get started, head to understoryagency.com and use the contact form or email the team (Ali’s direct email is listed on the site). Their typical process is an initial discovery call where they audit your current go-to-market, then they come back with a proposal covering paid media, outbound, and tracking. If you want to shortcut that, you can also ping Ali on LinkedIn, since he’s very transparent about who Understory can and cannot help.
Ali’s posts stand out as the most quantitative and data-driven of all the LinkedIn ads consultants I follow. He often talks about calculating LinkedIn Ads budgets and bidding strategies, as you can see from these examples in my recent savings haul:
Maximilian Herczeg is an ex-LinkedIn marketer turned independent LinkedIn Ads consultant and the brains behind Kamrat. He’s based in Germany (and unfortunately decided to switch to writing his posts only in German, but hey, post translation is great these days!) and positions himself as a consultant for LinkedIn Strategy and Ads for established B2B brands and founder-led companies. Kamrat is effectively a one-man, high-end LinkedIn Ads operation where you get Max’s brain directly on your account. His promise is bold: he aims to cut at least 20% of your wasted LinkedIn ad spend within the first couple of weeks by fixing targeting, structure, and creative.
I’ve worked with Max for a few months (he was our consultant for nearly a year).
Beyond the ad ops, he also helps with your overall LinkedIn strategy: content, positioning, and how to make ads and organic work together.
Kamrat has some of the clearest offers in this space. If you just want a sanity check, you can book a “Magic Hour,” which is a 60-minute consulting call (priced around a few hundred euros) where Max goes deep into your account and leaves you with a punch list of fixes.
If you want ongoing support, there are monthly “Launchpad” packages: one that’s coaching-only (you run the account, he guides and reviews) and one where Max fully executes LinkedIn Ads for you. To start, go to kamrat.io, grab a time via his booking links, or email him at the address listed there. Given he runs a lean solo shop, slots fill fast, so if you’re considering him, don’t wait until the week before your next board meeting.
Justin Rowe is the Founder and CEO of Impactable, a US-based LinkedIn-centric B2B marketing agency that’s been around the block more than almost anyone else in this list.
Impactable has served 1,000+ companies in 30+ countries and built a full-stack LinkedIn demand gen machine: they offer LinkedIn Ads management, multi-channel paid media, audience building, and an in-house platform called DemandSense that helps optimize campaigns. Where some agencies only do “set and forget” ads, Impactable tends to get deep into your ICP, tests a lot of creative and audiences, and then standardizes what works into repeatable campaigns. Justin is also extremely active on LinkedIn and YouTube, sharing tactical breakdowns of campaigns and talking openly about what’s working and what isn’t.
Personally, I haven’t worked with Justin Rowe yet and we haven’t chatted, but he sent me a really cool message when we connected earlier this year, with an amazing bunch of resources on LinkedIn Ads (here you go, thank me later).
Impactable typically works with companies that are already investing meaningfully in LinkedIn Ads, think from a few thousand to tens of thousands USD per month in ad spend. Pricing is scoped during the sales process and often sits as a monthly retainer plus your media budget. If you’re interested, go to impactable.com and click “Get Demo” or fill out their contact form.
From there, you’ll usually have a discovery call with Justin or one of the senior strategists, then they’ll come back with a proposal. If you want to warm things up first, you can binge their YouTube channel or DM Justin on LinkedIn, since his content gives a very accurate picture of how the agency thinks and works.
Last but not least: Ivan Falco from ColdIQ. Ivan focuses more on “inbound-led outbound” as the whole GTM process in his posts rather than just LinkedIn ads alone, but it complements the posts by pure LinkedIn ads experts nicely since he often posts about the tools and workflows they are using.
Ivan Falco is Head of Growth at ColdIQ, a B2B outbound and sales prospecting agency that builds proper outbound systems instead of “spray and pray” campaigns. While ColdIQ is best known for cold email and LinkedIn prospecting, they think in terms of full GTM systems and often combine outbound with paid channels and retargeting. They handle the unsexy, complicated bits for you: email infrastructure, domain setup and warm-up, data sourcing and enrichment, segmentation, messaging, and ongoing optimization. The result is a predictable stream of qualified meetings, and Ivan regularly shares detailed breakdowns of these workflows (and the tech stack behind them) across LinkedIn and the ColdIQ blog.
ColdIQ offers both consulting and done-for-you outbound. You can apply for their outbound system build-outs (project-like engagements that set up everything for you) or ongoing managed outbound campaigns. Pricing varies depending on the number of markets, inboxes, and personas you’re targeting, but it’s typically a monthly investment rather than a one-off fee. To get started, head to coldiq.com and click one of the main CTAs (e.g. “Get my personalized GTM strategy” or “Apply now”), then book a call. You can also subscribe to their newsletter to see their thinking before you commit, or reach out to the team via the email listed on the site. Ivan himself is very present on LinkedIn, so you can always connect with him directly to sense-check if ColdIQ is the right fit for where you are.
