3 min. readlast update: 06.26.2025

One of the most powerful features in Stairoids is the ability to identify high-intent audiences and feed them directly into your always-on LinkedIn campaigns. Instead of waiting for the perfect campaign moment, you can keep a smart, dynamic presence in front of your most valuable prospects — all the time.

This article explains how to build and manage always-on LinkedIn campaigns using real-time intent data from Stairoids.


🚀 What Is an Always-On Campaign?

An always-on campaign is a continuous LinkedIn ad campaign targeting a dynamic audience — not a one-time push.

In Stairoids, that audience is built using live signals, such as:

  • Website visitors

  • LinkedIn engagers

  • Contacts from approved companies

  • High IWS companies in your ICP

  • Hearted or assigned contacts

💡 The result: You’re always in front of people who are actually active around your brand.


🎯 Why Use Always-On?

Traditional campaigns are based on fixed lists. Stairoids helps you run smarter campaigns based on behavioral activity.

Benefit What It Means for You

🛠️ How to Set It Up

  1. Create a Filter in Stairoids

    • Example: “Approved Companies with IWS > 80 in the past 30 days”

    • Optional: Add job titles, industries, or company size

  2. Export the Filtered List

    • Go to the filter view and export as CSV

    • Make sure it includes LinkedIn company URLs

  3. Upload to LinkedIn Ads Manager

    • Go to Matched Audiences

    • Upload the list as a Company List or Contact List

    • Name it clearly (e.g., “High IWS – Month 06”)

  4. Build or Update Your Campaign

    • Use the audience in a Sponsored Content, Message Ad, or Lead Gen Form

    • Optional: Segment by funnel stage or topic relevance

  5. Refresh Every 2–4 Weeks

    • Re-export a fresh list monthly or twice per month

    • Update your LinkedIn audience for maximum relevance

💡 Tip: Aim for 100–300 high-intent companies per audience. Quality over quantity still applies — but marketing works best at slightly higher scale than 1:1 sales.


📊 Measuring Impact

Use LinkedIn’s built-in ad metrics, and combine with Stairoids insights:

  • Are engaged accounts increasing in IWS after seeing ads?

  • Are more contacts from these accounts entering your Suggested Tasks?

  • Do hearted contacts show new activity?

This gives you a full-funnel view of marketing effectiveness — not just impressions and clicks.


✅ Summary
