LinkedIn Ads Strategist

Chris Nelson is Mariner11's LinkedIn Ads lead, bringing deep platform expertise to every campaign we run for clients.

His background is about as LinkedIn-native as it gets. He spent over a year as a Client Solutions Manager at LinkedIn itself, where he managed media campaigns for some of the platform's largest advertisers, from multi-million dollar international corporations to fast-growing startups. He knows how the platform thinks, how the algorithm behaves, and how to build campaigns that actually convert.

Chris pairs that insider knowledge with a broader foundation in SEO, web analytics, and paid media strategy from his time at previous agencies and consultancies, giving him a sharper lens on how LinkedIn fits into a client's full digital picture.

When he's not dialing in targeting parameters or optimizing campaign performance, Chris is most likely plotting his next international trip somewhere with his family.
