Intro

Mason Cosby sits down with Adam Holmgren, CEO and co-founder of Fibbler, to talk about a gap in the market around LinkedIn advertising: what happens when “people don’t click on ads,” and “we continue to… measure them for clicks.”

ㅤ

Adam Holmgren explains a “very simple” approach: connect LinkedIn ads data with CRM data so you can “showcase what happens even if people don’t click on a freaking ad,” and surface “the actual companies and the deals that you are influencing.” The conversation stays “super tactical” on how teams use impressions, engagements, and clicks to build reporting in HubSpot or Salesforce, support account scoring, and trigger workflows for BDRs: “These companies have engaged with us a lot in the last week… maybe we should give a task for BDRs.”

👤 Guest Bio

Adam Holmgren is the CEO and co-founder of Fibbler. He built the tool from “my own frustration and issues, trying to prove myself to my execs, to my board,” especially in a channel like LinkedIn ads that “could be argued… to be more of a brand awareness channel.” He also shares that he runs “a bootstrap startup on the side of your full-time… job,” and he tries to “post five times a week” on LinkedIn.
