Objections

Common objection: Can't we run our own LinkedIn ad campaigns?

Absolutely—you can run your own LinkedIn campaigns. However, PMMI Media Group is the only source of the official PACK EXPO pre-registrant list. There is no other way (through LinkedIn or other media groups) to reach this verified audience of PACK EXPO attendees. Rather than waste your time or budget on incorrect targeting, partner with PMMI Meida Group to have confidence in who your ad is reaching.

Additional Information

LinkedIn vs LinkedIn during Show Season vs LinkedIn PAN for PACK EXPO vs LinkedIn ABBIC

  • LinkedIn: This is our typical, year-round PAN LinkedIn and Facebook. Custom audience is chosen from the PMMI database by segments such as Industry, Job Title, Self-Reported Buying Interest, Existing Plant Operations.
  • LinkedIn during Show Season: This is the same product as regular PAN LinkedIn detailed above, EXCEPT—for the four weeks before PACK EXPO and two weeks after PACK EXPO—charged at a premium.

    • Why are we charging a premium if this product doesn’t contain PACK EXPO attendees?
      • During PACK EXPO season, we have many more PAN campaigns running compared to other times of year (due to the PAN for PACK EXPO product).
      • To maintain the performance of all our campaigns, we must increase the hard costs for these campaigns. This consequently also increases the price of PAN LinkedIn for our advertisers during this time.
  • LinkedIn PAN for PACK EXPO: This product specifically targets individuals who have registered for PACK EXPO via LinkedIn, segmented by buying interest expressed on the attendee's registration form.
  • LinkedIn Account-Based Buyer Intent Campaign: The audience for this product is crafted based on traffic to categories in ProSource. Using a visitor identification software, we filter out non-CPGs and compile a list of companies, dividing them based on what they investigated on ProSource. Based on which category an advertiser purchases, CSMs feed the list of companies (which looked at that category on ProSource) and advertiser material to LinkedIn, telling them to target specific decision-making position titles at these companies.

FAQs

Q. Why is inventory limited for PMMI Audience Network products?

A. Here is a great presentation on Joan regarding this topic. In summary, inventory for LinkedIn and Facebook is limited because they serve ads through a per-impression auction where ads targeting the same audience and format compete based on bid and relevance. Competition increases with the more ads targeting the same audience. When competition increases—especially if we run multiple PMG campaigns to the same individuals—CPMs rise, and with fixed budgets that means fewer impressions and weaker performance across campaigns. To prevent self-competition and protect delivery, we cap inventory based on testing that balances maximum available reach with stable campaign results.

Q. Why are the pageviews that are reported by Google Analytics not matching up with the number of clicks reported by LinkedIn?

A. Site attribution and traffic reporting are not perfect, and discrepancies between platforms are expected. In fact, it’s typical to see LinkedIn report 15% to 40% more clicks than GA4 sessions. This gap stems from several factors, including differences in how clicks and sessions are measured, tracking delays, privacy filters, and non-human activity. Google has published multiple explanations for these mismatches, and LinkedIn itself acknowledges the presence of invalid traffic through its HUMANverification partnership.

Q. Can you give us a brief overview on our process for eliminating bots and non-human impressions?

A. LinkedIn/Facebook are in control over the reporting and eliminating or bots/non-human impressions. We do not know what their policy is and cannot provide any information regarding those policies. What we can control and comment on is that we upload our audience to LinkedIn. We do not use the find look alike audience expansion feature that LinkedIn has, so it is indeed just our known first party audience.

Q. How does LinkedIn optimization work with a PMG audience?

A. When we create a social campaign, we provide LinkedIn with the list of our selected audience and tell LinkedIn that this is who we'd like to reach with this ad. LinkedIn can identify the people on our list, which is where the "match" occurs. These are names both within our system and LinkedIn's. Due to this, LinkedIn has action data on these individuals from our list—whether an individual watches video ads regularly, clicks often, or is more likely to comment. When we hand our audience list over to LinkedIn, we tell LinkedIn the type of person we want to reach—a clicker, a watcher, or a commenter. They then serve the ad to individuals on the list we provided who have the highest probability of completing that action. LinkedIn only allows us to optimize for one action (clicking, watching, or commenting) for a campaign.

Q. Why do we optimize videos for views and posts for clicks?

A. For video campaigns, we optimize for views because the goal is to get end-users to watch their video. This is their opportunity to get in front of our audience for an extended period of time and share a detailed message about why they should choose the advertiser's solution. When they provide a video we want to show it to people that are more likely to watch videos, so they have the opportunity to tell their full story. For static campaigns, it's Clicks, impressions, and reach because that product's goal is to get people to click.

Q. Can we give leads for Mundo campaigns?

A. Even though we cannot give lead information, commenters have been very engaged (such as “give me details” or “more information”) and advertisers can reach out to those commenters on their own through LinkedIn.
