Whenever you increase your rankings, it’s important to let everyone in your LinkedIn network know. Adding a promotion on LinkedIn not only shows your current employer your vitality for a new role, but it also places you higher in the sights of recruiters looking for talent. This is very useful when you are looking for new opportunities. So, let’s see how to add ads on LinkedIn.
In addition, in addition to adding ads on LinkedIn separately, you can also edit your current job details and add ads for an existing company. This will allow others to see your progress in your current organization. On that note, let’s get started.
How to post ads on LinkedIn
One of the best ways to get your ad noticed on LinkedIn is to add it as a separate placement. This way, anyone who visits your LinkedIn profile can instantly distinguish between your previous and current location. Even so, since this is a promotion, make sure the details regarding your company name remain consistent with your previously added position.
Here’s how using the LinkedIn desktop and mobile apps.
On the web browser
Step 1: Open LinkedIn on any web browser.
Step 2: Here, go to your profile icon and click View Profile.
Step 3: Scroll down to the Experience section and click the + icon.
Step 4: Then, click Add location.
Step 5: First, enable the Network Notifications switch if you want to share details about your work changes with your network.
Step 6: Then go to Title and enter your new job title.
You can use any of the pre-provided headers or add a new one.
Step 7: Select your job type from the drop-down menu.
Step 8: In the Company Name section, enter your company name. Make sure this matches your previous position on LinkedIn.
Step 9: You can also scroll down to add additional details about your new job role such as job position, position type and details of your job tenure.
Step 10: If desired, you can also add a unique set of 5 skills to be used in your new role or any other related vehicle.
Step 11: Once everything has been added, click Save.
This will immediately show your ad on LinkedIn as a separate update on your profile.

While enabling the Network Notifications button ensures your LinkedIn network receives relevant updates, with so many people being added, your good news could be lost in a sea of updates. To prevent this from happening, here’s how you can share your ad on LinkedIn and make it more visible.
- Create a New Post: One of the easiest yet most effective ways to announce your ad is to create a post about it on LinkedIn. You can mention your challenges, thank your team members, elaborate on your vision for the new role, etc. However, keep the post easy to understand and simple.
- Share posts from official company accounts: If your company makes announcements about new entrants or promotions, you’re in luck. You can share this post as-is or repost it with a few words of your own.
- Post on Social Media: If you are active on social media, make sure to update your followers by posting about your new location. You can also share a link to your LinkedIn profile or any other post announcing your ad.
This will further highlight your ad on all relevant platforms, including LinkedIn.
