Use LinkedIn audience templates to create a campaign audience

Last updated: 5 months ago

LinkedIn audience templates are sets of pre-populated targeting options that help advertisers reach their targeted audiences. You can apply an audience template to a new campaign when you set up your audience in the campaign creation flow.

To select an audience template when building your campaign:

  1. Sign in to Campaign Manager.

  2. If you need to switch accounts, click the account name in the upper-left corner of the page and select the correct account name from the dropdown. 

  3. In the Campaign Groups tab, click the campaign group name that you'd like to create your campaign in.

  4. In the Campaigns tab, click the Create button, then click Campaign.

  5. Confirm the campaign group, then click Next. Choose the objective you'd like for your campaign.

  6. In the Audience section, click the  Audiences  dropdown.

  7. Search for a template and select an option from the dropdown or click See all audiences. If you choose See all audiences:

    1. Confirm the Audience Templates tab is selected at the top.
    2. Select a template from the list and click Select Audience in the top right.
    3. Click OK to confirm that this template will replace all current targeting selections.
  8. In the Audience section, you’ll see all the pre-populated targeting selections for that audience template.

    • To edit fields, click the  pencil icon next to it.
    • To delete all selections for a field, click the  pencil icon, then click Remove all attributes.
  9. To save your new audience, click Save audience at the bottom of the section, name your audience, then click Save as new.

Here's a tip

When you make changes to audience fields after selecting an audience template, the changes you make won't edit the template itself. To keep those changes, you'll need to save your audience.
