TV Commercials for running gear brands on LinkedIn
TV Commercials on LinkedIn offers massive reach and brand awareness and premium production quality. For running gear products like running shoes, this can work — but extremely expensive production and media buy and no direct response tracking.
Podcast-style ads for running gear on LinkedIn
Podcast-style ads on LinkedIn give running gear brands full message control in 1:1 and 16:9, 15–60s format. Runners trust the recommendations of other runners. Podcast-style ads let a host share their training story, the injury that led to new shoes, or the watch that transformed their pacing — real experiences that drive conviction. On LinkedIn specifically, the conversational format earns higher watch time than tv commercials.
