LinkedIn Use Cases > Image Ad API

Image ads help you engage business decision-makers on LinkedIn's mobile and desktop news feed. You can create image ads in two ways: \* Post images to your Company Page and sponsor the post to reach more than just followers. Your organization can share a first-hand look into your company culture, products, news, and events with a company page image to drive further engagement and conversation. \* Create image ads that bypass Company Page followers and go directly to your news feed.
