So if we take whatever email addresses we have, which are usually someone's professional email, LinkedIn doesn't recognize those and they don't match at a high rate." - 00:37:02 AJ Wilcox"So I don't love that in this strategy, I'm basically telling LinkedIn like, hey, I'm going to keep renting your land forever, but it is pretty awesome to be able to reach specific people without having to get their email address." - 00:38:14 AJ Wilcox"I love the one of being able to switch your bidding model when you get particularly high click-through rates.
