LinkedIn has introduced a new campaign creation flow called Quick Mode, which simplifies the process of creating campaigns for new advertisers by offering popular campaign objectives, ad formats, and other features. Quick Mode streamlines options and advanced features to help new advertisers get started quickly. Experienced advertisers can continue using the current campaign creation flow, now called Advanced Mode. Quick Mode differs from Advanced Mode in terms of objectives, ad formats, budget options, bidding options, targeting options, and conversion tracking availability. Quick Mode is gradually rolling out and may not be available to all advertisers yet.

LinkedIn is rolling out three new ways to verify identity and workplace. The first option is to verify identity using CLEAR, a secure identity platform, which requires a US government-issued ID and a US phone number. The second option is to verify the workplace using a company-issued email address, available now to 50 million members globally. The third option is to verify the workplace using Microsoft Entra Verified ID platform, which enables workers to display verification on their LinkedIn profile and will be available to dozens of participating companies reaching more than two million LinkedIn members at the end of April. These verification options are free and available to all LinkedIn members, although not all members globally will have access immediately. The aim of these new features is to increase trust and authenticity on the platform.
