What this skill does

1Selects the right bidding strategy by default: manual bidding for most campaigns, automated only for small ABM or retargeting audiences, Cost Per Send for Conversation Ads.
2Sets initial bids above LinkedIn's minimum threshold to gather data quickly, then adjusts daily based on over- or under-spend versus allocated budget.
3Allocates budget across funnel layers: approximately 50% to cold awareness, 25% to warm nurture, and 25% to hot conversion campaigns.
4Enforces a minimum $100 spend per creative before making shutdown decisions, and a 6-month program commitment before judging pipeline impact.
5Flags the Reach/Brand Awareness objective as inefficient for B2B because CPM charges per display rather than engagement.
