Why LinkedIn’s New Video Ads Are Winning Over Gen Z

LinkedIn has long been known as the go-to platform for professionals and B2B networking—but it’s quickly becoming a powerful space for reaching Gen Z. With LinkedIn’s rollout of new video ad formats, more young professionals are engaging with content in ways we haven’t seen before.

So why is Gen Z responding so strongly?

1. Video is Their Language
Gen Z grew up with TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram Reels. Short-form, engaging videos are how they consume information. LinkedIn’s new ad formats tap directly into this preference, blending professional content with the familiar experience of bite-sized, scrollable video.

2. Career-First Mindset
Unlike previous generations, Gen Z is entering the workforce already focused on personal branding and growth. LinkedIn’s video ads—especially those showcasing workplace culture, career tips, and authentic brand stories—speak directly to this mindset.

3. Authenticity Matters
Gen Z values transparency and authenticity. Video ads allow brands to show real people, real stories, and behind-the-scenes moments in a way static posts never could. This creates trust, which is crucial for winning them over.

4. Better Engagement for Brands
LinkedIn reports that video content generates 5x more engagement than text posts. For Gen Z, that engagement translates into sharing, saving, and acting on career-related opportunities—helping brands expand their reach.

5. A New Playground for Marketers
For companies, LinkedIn’s video ads open the door to connecting with Gen Z where they’re actively looking for career inspiration, networking, and opportunities. It’s not just about advertising—it’s about building meaningful connections with the next generation of professionals.

👉 If your brand wants to attract Gen Z talent, customers, or followers, LinkedIn’s new video ad formats are a game-changer. It’s time to create content that inspires, educates, and connects—because Gen Z is already watching.

What Makes Social Media so Effective for Small Businesses?

OMA Comp What Makes Social Media Effective for Small Businesses

Major advances across the social media landscape have made it easier than ever to connect with customers online. The widespread adoption of social media as information sharing and communication platforms has created an opportunity for businesses to engage with customers 24/7.

Let’s explore the top three factors which make Social Media an effective engine for small business growth.

  1. Conversion

Unlike traditional online marketing methods, social media enables companies to customize their outreach and understand their customer base. Engagement analysis tools on sites like Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn make it possible to understand the makeup of your customer base. Businesses that invest time into understanding their social media following can use this information to improve the performance of their marketing dollar.

  1. Personalization

Distributing personalized content has never been easier. Once you understand who interacts with your content and how they interact with it, you can personalize posts.

Engaging with your customers across a variety of platforms allows you to deploy multiple forms of media. Take for instance a digital design business with active profiles on Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn. An effective content mix strategy might call for the business to post examples of their work to Instagram, official updates such as new job openings to LinkedIn, and descriptive expositions of their work to Facebook. Social Media is all about getting the right content to the right audience at the right time.

  1. Engagement

Unlike one-way marketing (print, radio, television, et cetera…), social media allows for communication to flow both ways. Posting content is only half of the equation! Businesses that effectively leverage social media use it to communicate with customers, answer questions, ask for opinions, and more.

Creating and managing multiple social media profiles can be time consuming. It’s important to focus on the platforms which your customer base engages with the most. Is your business leveraging social media to its maximum potential? Contact OMA Comp to learn how we can help maximize your performance.
