Top 13 ABM Agencies for B2B SaaS Business
May 16, 2024
Four out of five LinkedIn users influence business decisions, holding twice the purchasing power of your average internet user. Add to that a growing community of 900 million members and it becomes clear that LinkedIn isn’t just another social media channel—it’s a goldmine for B2B marketers.
But here’s the catch: Getting those conversions isn’t as easy as setting up a few ads and calling it a day. The platform is more competitive than ever, and your audience—decision-makers like CEOs, CTOs, and procurement managers—has grown savvier. Mediocre strategies just don’t cut it anymore.
The good news? With the right approach, LinkedIn can become your most reliable growth engine in 2025. This guide is your go-to playbook for outperforming your competitors, spending smarter, and generating more high-quality leads.
We’ll break down actionable strategies, backed by real-world case studies, to help you:
Ready to transform your LinkedIn campaigns from “meh” to magnetic? Let’s get started.
LinkedIn’s potential for B2B SaaS success is unmatched—but only if you’ve set the stage. Before implementing the strategies we’re about to discuss, make sure you’ve checked these foundational boxes:
By nailing these essentials first, you’ll be ready to unlock the full potential of the strategies in this guide.
Now that you’ve got the groundwork covered, let’s take your LinkedIn ads to the next level.
Effective budget allocation is the backbone of a successful LinkedIn Ads strategy. It’s not just about spending money; it’s about spending smartly. You can balance immediate conversions with long-term brand-building efforts, by dividing your budget across various campaign objectives, audience segments, and funnel stages.
The magic lies in testing early and refining often. Smaller, high-value audiences may require larger bids to reach, while broader audiences offer more flexibility. As your campaign progresses, shifting resources toward high-performing segments ensures every dollar works harder, delivering measurable results.
TripleDart partnered with an HR tech company to manage a LinkedIn Ads budget of $904,195 over 12 months. The key to success? Strategic segmentation and a robust Account-Based Marketing (ABM) approach.
We allocated the budget across different campaign groups and funnels to ensure maximum impact. A suggested split is 60% for cold prospecting or demand generation, and 40% for retargeting. Within these campaign groups, we structured the budget across distinct funnels.
In just six months, TripleDart scaled the client’s LinkedIn Ads budget from $10K/month to $100K/month. The result? A wider reach, better-qualified leads, and a significantly higher ROI.
When it comes to LinkedIn Ads, precision is key. A well-crafted ad can do more than grab attention—it can act as a gatekeeper, ensuring only the most relevant prospects click through.
By pre-qualifying leads through hyper-specific creatives, you not only lower your cost per acquisition but also ensure your pipeline is filled with high-intent prospects. Additionally, pairing well-crafted ads with smart strategies—like targeted incentives and optimized scheduling—can dramatically improve the ROI of your LinkedIn campaigns.
The client, a B2B SaaS company offering an AI assistant tailored for sales, finance, and marketing leaders, approached Understory to answer one critical question: How to cost-effectively secure a demo through LinkedIn Ads? Their solution: use razor-sharp targeting and strategies.
1. Hyper-Targeted Creatives:
The creative assets used in this campaign weren’t just eye-catching—they were designed to act as a filter. Each ad explicitly mentioned the target audience in the visuals and text, using phrases like “ChatGPT for CROs” to appeal directly to Chief Revenue Officers. Additionally, the ads showcased highly specific use cases relevant to their personas, such as CFO-specific financial modeling workflows or marketing strategies for CMOs. This ensured that only the most relevant users engaged with the ads.
2. Incentive Testing:
The campaign included a $50 gift card incentive for booking a demo, which significantly boosted conversion rates—tripling them, in fact—while maintaining lead quality.
3. Calendar-Based Conversions:
Rather than sending users to a generic landing page, they were directed straight to a booking link for a demo. This streamlined process minimized drop-offs and allowed prospects to select a time that suited them, increasing overall efficiency.
4. Strategic Scheduling Exclusions:
Data revealed that meetings booked on Mondays had a 20% higher no-show rate. By excluding Mondays from the booking calendar, the team optimized both attendance and conversion rates.
Between August 6th and December 9th, 2023, their campaign generated 523 meetings at an average cost of $46.21 per meeting.
Hyper-targeting is the magic sauce for LinkedIn Ads. By speaking directly to your ideal customer profile (ICP), you qualify leads before they even click. Add incentives that truly resonate, and simplify the conversion process to eliminate barriers. When your ads feel like they’re written just for your audience, LinkedIn transforms into a powerhouse for driving high-quality, ready-to-convert leads—all while keeping costs in check.
Retargeting is one of the most effective ways to engage users who have already shown interest in your product.
On LinkedIn, retargeting can drive high-intent traffic, boost conversions, and keep your brand on top of mind. It’s a secret weapon for turning curiosity into commitment through the right mix of validation, value, and engagement to drive action.
Paragon, an embedded integration platform that simplifies and accelerates SaaS integration launches, spent $73,285 on LinkedIn Ads between 1 June to 15 June 15, 2024.
1. Strategic Retargeting:
Paragon’s campaign targeted website visitors with highly relevant content designed to validate their interests and address objections. The ads highlighted customer success stories, detailed value propositions, and key benefits tailored to their ICP—product managers and engineering leaders.
2. Content Engine Across the Funnel:
Paragon prioritized creating content for every stage of the buyer journey, ensuring that both top-of-funnel awareness campaigns and high-intent retargeting ads had engaging assets. From thought leadership blogs to case studies, their content strategy ensured continuous engagement.
3. Direct Content Distribution:
Instead of using traditional lead-generation forms, Paragon shifted to driving users directly to content. This approach removed friction, allowing prospects to access valuable insights immediately while boosting engagement metrics like clicks and time spent on pages.
4. Account Segmentation:
To optimize their ad spend, Paragon used precise account segmentation. This enabled them to control budget distribution across accounts and focus on high-value targets, ensuring their dollars were spent on prospects most likely to convert.
5. TL Ads for TOF Awareness:
Paragon tapped into their team’s knowledge through thought leadership (TL) ads, where team members shared industry insights and expertise. This proved to be a standout strategy for building top-of-funnel awareness, sparking meaningful engagement, and positioning the brand as a trusted authority in their space. By leveraging authentic voices, they created a strong connection with their audience.
6. Creative Experimentation:
Consistent testing and iteration of ad creatives played a crucial role in maintaining optimal campaign performance. This approach ensured that Paragon’s ads remained fresh, relevant, and engaging.
In just 15 days, the team spent $73,285 on LinkedIn Ads, generating 17,000 clicks and closing over $153k in deals. The ROI was more than 2x the ad spend.
Retargeting works best when backed by a well-oiled content engine and a clear understanding of your audience. By addressing objections, validating interest, and delivering value at every stage of the funnel, you can turn clicks into conversions and significantly impact your revenue.
While paid ads can drive instant traffic, organic growth builds trust, encourages engagement, and demonstrates expertise, all while being cost-effective. It shows your audience, "Hey, I understand your challenges, and I can help."
It also is a great way to collect your users’ email addresses. The key is to make sure the perceived value of your lead magnet is much higher than what you're asking for.
GrowthBand’s case study is a prime example of how understanding platform dynamics can turn engagement into actionable leads—without spending a dime.
1. Creating a High-Value Lead Magnet:
GrowthBand's success began with a clear understanding of their target audience's pain points—sales professionals struggling with data enrichment. They created a Google Sheet formula (developed with GPT) to find LinkedIn profiles using basic contact information. This actionable tool was packaged into a simple, gated Notion document. To access it, users had to provide their email addresses.
2. Leveraging LinkedIn's Algorithm:
Instead of sharing a direct link to the lead magnet, which would have limited post visibility, GrowthBand crafted a giveaway-style post. The post encouraged users to comment in exchange for the resource. This approach achieved two critical goals:some text
3. Scaling the Effort:
When comments became overwhelming, GrowthBand updated the post with a direct link. This ensured everyone interested could access the content without additional manual effort.
4. Next Steps to Sustain Engagement:
GrowthBand repurposed its content and nurtured leads through targeted email campaigns and LinkedIn outreach.
By combining creative lead magnets with platform-savvy strategies, GrowthBand demonstrated that organic content isn’t just a supporting act—it can be a primary driver for lead generation.
LinkedIn Ads can be a transformative growth tool for B2B SaaS companies, especially in competitive industries. The key lies in scaling strategically throughout the user funnel, ensuring campaigns remain efficient, targeted, and optimized for quality over quantity.

According to the Financial Times, content shared by CEOs on LinkedIn receives four times more engagement than other content. Founder-led marketing fosters a positive and aspirational outlook toward the brand while maintaining authenticity. Being a founder account also offers some liberties that a brand account may not offer so easily, such as sharing personal stories, and opinions.
Brij, an offline-to-online marketing software company, faced a daunting challenge as a relatively unknown brand. Despite a well-executed content marketing playbook, it struggled to generate meaningful ROI from traditional blogs and ebooks. Recognizing the potential of LinkedIn but unsure of where to start, Kait Stephens, Brij’s CEO, partnered with Spectamur, a specialist in LinkedIn growth strategies.
The results of Brij’s investment in Kait’s LinkedIn presence were transformative:
By aligning personal storytelling with customer-centric content and committing to a disciplined posting and engagement schedule, Brij transformed its founder into a trusted voice in the industry. Prospects who engaged with Kait’s content entered the sales funnel with a deeper understanding of Brij’s value proposition, converting at higher rates and in fewer calls than outbound leads.
Building a founder brand is a long-term investment, but as Brij’s experience shows, it can deliver exponential returns in revenue, reputation, and recognition.
