Automotive buyers spend upwards of 13 hours researching and purchasing vehicles online. They visit multiple channels where a ton of information is available on each car.
On these channels, you'll find high-quality leads for your automotive business.
In this blog, we're diving into one such channel (and one of the largest social platforms today)—LinkedIn.
The big question: Why LinkedIn?
An automobile is a massive financial investment for most buyers. And LinkedIn, the platform geared towards professionals, is where you can meet buyers with serious spending power.
More importantly, the platform's audience is interested in purchasing vehicles.
73% of LinkedIn users are looking for non-luxury vehicles, while 63% search for personal luxury vehicles.
Notably, the platform's marketing solutions have proven more successful in recent years.
- In Q4 of 2023, LinkedIn surpassed $15 billion in revenue for the first time.
- It's also 3x more effective at steering auto dollar sales when compared to linear TV and other major social platforms.
The above considerations indeed build a solid case for using LinkedIn in your automotive marketing strategy.
To explore how to leverage the platform, take a look at some real examples.
18 real LinkedIn lead ads for automotive (and why they're so effective)
When it comes to automotive marketing on LinkedIn, the most relevant ad formats include single images, videos, carousels, and sponsored messages. Pair your ads with a lead generation form, and you can capture qualified leads in just a few steps.
You can use native or web forms. Native forms offer a pre-fill option for a smooth customer experience, while you can customise web forms to fit your business needs.
The distinct choice of ad formats with different lead form types makes lead generation flexible on LinkedIn.
These real-world examples show how auto businesses have successfully navigated various lead ads with forms.

Instead of overwhelming the buyer with multiple features in a single image, GMC focuses on one feature at a time. It's easier to consume and piques the lead's interest. The CTA copy is short but ties back effectively to the vehicle's USP. Users clicking on the CTA can view a web form pop-up on the landing page. If they wish to share details rather than scroll through the features page, they can do it quickly.

- 'Request test drive' qualifies high-intent leads.
- 'Download brochure' identifies leads with low intent that could be converted to high intent through remarketing.

When BMW introduced the i5, the brand aimed to solve this pain point. It emphasised the model's ease of charging in public and at home.
The ad copy also highlights that you can use the brand's app to find other charging points nearby or check the charge status.

Velocity shows how you can make a big impact even when operating on a smaller scale.
The brand promotes itself as a vintage car 'manufacturer' instead of a restorer, but not everyone understands the significance.

Jeep used the carousel ad format to promote offers on several products simultaneously.
Since multiple models are involved in this post, the brand used additional fields in the lead form.

BMW wanted to introduce its new offering to a very specific audience in Malaysia.
Its aim–to attract high value professionals based on BMW's ideal customer profile. Alongside this, the brand needed to drive ROI and conversions.
BMW used LinkedIn's audience exclusion feature in this instance for precise targeting. More interestingly, the brand used Sponsored InMail to retarget captured leads with personalised messages.
This strategy worked, bringing in a 21% lower CPL for BMW.
18. Audi
For its flagship luxury offering, the Audi A8, the brand wanted to acquire high-quality leads from a niche audience.
The brand integrated existing customer insights with LinkedIn's age, industry and net worth targeting options to replicate its audience segmentation.
It paired this with a more personalised message to the audience through Sponsored InMail, focusing on features and the 'future of luxury'.
The campaign proved remarkably successful, attracting an open rate of over 66%.
The above ads highlight how brands can use similar formats to their advantage differently. But before you dive in, there are a few ground rules you shouldn't miss to get only the highest quality leads.
Best Practices
Follow these three best practices to excel at LinkedIn lead ads consistently:
1. Use a mix of ad formats
One format may not be enough to share all the information you have.
Some details are best presented in a storytelling format (in a video), while others are pretty straightforward (as a single image).
Each ad format caters to different audience preferences; it's best to use a mix.
Lastly, when audiences see the same ad repeatedly, it may cause ad fatigue. A mix of ad formats helps reduce this fatigue and maintain interest.
2. Experiment with your ads and audience
If you're fairly new to LinkedIn ads or finding your way to successful lead campaigns, testing multiple ad options is the best way to weed out the mistakes. For instance, you can begin with broad targeting. As the ad runs for some time, you can use the ad reports to zero down on the most response audience. LinkedIn also lets you use matched audiences to optimise your audience, wherein you can:
- Create lookalike audiences from existing buyer segments
- Use website retargeting
- Leverage contact and account targeting
You can also experiment with ad formats, ad and image copy, and CTAs to determine what works best.
3. Make the most of automation
Leveraging automation can reduce your time investment and avoid errors. Several reliable third-party platforms offer automated features such as lead sync or integration.
Driftrock is one such automotive marketing platform. It not only integrates seamlessly with your CRM and marketing tools but also offers:
- Niche automotive sources and publishers
- Lead validation
- Custom audiences
- End-to-end tracking
- Conversion API, and
- Real-time insights to optimise for conversions and vehicle sales
Consistently capture high-quality automotive leads on LinkedIn
