    May 21 2025

    What happens when you combine second-party intent data from 6Sense with the world’s most expensive ad platform, LinkedIn?

    In this episode of B2B Marketing Futures, host Joaquin Dominguez explores how top marketers are using intent platforms like 6Sense to drive high-performing, cost-effective LinkedIn campaigns. Joined by AJ Wilcox, founder of B2Linked and leading expert on LinkedIn Ads, and Neelam Agarwal, Senior Digital Marketing Manager at Pure Storage, we unpack practical strategies for aligning targeting, messaging, bidding and attribution across the funnel.

    👉 Learn how Neelam uses real-time 6Sense signals to build dynamic LinkedIn audiences that evolve by funnel stage

    👉 Explore how document ads, retargeting and creative testing help convert awareness into pipeline over long sales cycles

    👉 Understand the difference between demand capture and demand creation, and why intent data isn’t always what it seems

    We get specific on:

    • How to break down first, second, and third-party data
    • Why ad format matters for intent-driven targeting
    • When to use video, document ads, and lead gen forms in a multi-stage funnel
