Podcast-style ads for mobile app on LinkedIn
Podcast-style ads on LinkedIn give mobile app brands full message control in 1:1 and 16:9, 15–60s format. App install ads blend into feeds and get swiped past. Podcast-style ads break the pattern by explaining the problem the app solves in a relatable, story-driven way that makes the download feel like a personal recommendation.
