You’ve probably seen a post or two on social media that doesn’t follow the format requirements of the channel. In such posts, the images can look blurry or pixelated, or there are unsightly margins on the sides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Video Ads <\/h3>\n\n\n\n Just like single image ads, video ads can be created in three different formats. Either vertical<\/strong> (9:16), landscape<\/strong> (16:9) or square<\/strong> (1:1).

Color design<\/h2>\n\n\n\n The color scheme of your LinkedIn ads ad images will largely determine whether your ad stands out from the crowd of posts or gets lost instead. Since the LinkedIn platform is primarily designed in white, gray and a little blue, you should choose colors<\/strong> for your image ads that clearly stand out from the background<\/strong>. If possible, match the colors to your corporate design for greater recognition. <\/p>\n\n\n\nAre there certain colors that work best for Linkedin ads images? Some marketers believe that the colors red, green and orange work best. However, this certainly depends on many factors such as the product and the target audience.<\/p>\n\n\n

To use font in LinkedIn Ads ads or not?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n Should you add type to your Linkedin Ads ad images? There is no one-size-fits-all answer here. Ultimately, as with all digital marketing questions, you need to test what works best for your specific offering and target audience..<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you are using type, however, it is advisable not to overload the image<\/strong> with too much type: As a rule of thumb, you can cut down to one title, one subtitle, and one CTA<\/strong>, as in the example of this ad from Salesforce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
