IN BRIEF

Navah Hopkins has issued a clarification correcting a misunderstanding circulating in the paid-media community. The launch is LinkedIn CTV: LinkedIn's Connected TV inventory: supporting LinkedIn profile targeting (job seniority, company lists, industry, function).

What changed

Microsoft Monetise is the supply-side platform powering the LinkedIn CTV inventory. Microsoft CTV (Microsoft Advertising's separate CTV product) does not currently support LinkedIn profile targeting: a distinction worth keeping straight when scoping with account teams. The original announcement landed via LinkedIn back in March 2026; Navah is re-surfacing it ahead of Microsoft Advertising Activate.
