LinkedIn introduced its new social ad formats in June — the Facebook-like ads integrate member activities and information into advertising.
The ad format pulls in relevant connections from a user’s network into banner ads, using those members’ photos and names. Upon launching the ads, LinkedIn explained that users could opt out at any time.
