LinkedIn Campaign Groups & Structure

An organized account is a profitable account. Why? Because budget fluidity. If you have 50 campaigns with $10/day each, you are fragmenting your data. You need to consolidate. Here is the perfect hierarchy.
The Hierarchy
- Campaign Group: The Goal (Lead Gen, Demand Gen, Brand).
- Campaign: The Audience (Cold, Warm, Hot).
- Ads: The Creative (Image, Video, Text).
Naming Conventions (Do Not Skip This)
If I look at your account, I should know exactly what is happening just by reading the campaign name.
Formula:
[Region] - [Funnel Stage] - [Ad Format] - [Audience Name]
Example:
US - TOF - Single Image - Job Function (Marketing)
UK - MOF - Spotlight - Website Visitors
The "Tiered" Structure
Don't put all your countries in one campaign. CPMs in the USA are $100. CPMs in India are $5. If you combine them, the algorithm will spend 100% of your budget in India because it's cheaper. Split by Tier:
- Tier 1: USA, UK, Canada, Australia.
- Tier 2: Germany, France, Nordics.
- Tier 3: ROW (Rest of World).
Campaign Groups: Use Them!
Most people ignore "Campaign Groups." They are useful for Budget Pacing. You can set a "Total Budget" for the Group. Example:
- Group: "Q1 Demand Gen"
- Budget: $50,000.
- Campaigns: 10 different campaigns inside.
- Benefit: LinkedIn will automatically shift budget to the best-performing campaign within the group.
Summary
Chaos kills performance. Structure your account so that a stranger could log in and understand your strategy in 5 seconds. If you have to explain it, it's too complex.
