If you run a video production company, you already know your buyers are on LinkedIn. Marketing directors, brand managers, and agency producers scroll the feed daily, and they hire studios whose work they've seen. The hard part isn't making great video. It's getting in front of the right people and then responding fast enough to turn interest into a booked call. That's where LinkedIn ads and outreach partners come in. Some run paid campaigns inside Campaign Manager. Others send connection requests and messages on your behalf. A few do both, and a rare handful handle what happens after the reply too, which is where most pipelines quietly die. We compared six options for 2026, looking at what each one actually does, what they charge, and who they fit. Whether you're a two-person studio chasing your first retainer client or an established shop scaling outbound, there's a model here that matches your budget and your bandwidth.
#1 Worqd — Contact for pricing. Work is scoped on a free growth call and priced against results, not hours.
Worqd is an AI-powered growth agency based in Halifax, Nova Scotia, and it takes a different shape than everyone else on this list. Instead of selling you one piece of the puzzle, like ads management or outreach sequences, one partner runs the whole path from first click to booked call. That means LinkedIn ads and outreach sit inside a single plan alongside the follow-up that converts replies into meetings. Their pitch is simple: integrated beats fragmented. You get one plan and one report, not separate vendors for ads, creative, and follow-up, and no vanity metrics. For a video production company, that matters. A prospect who sees your reel on LinkedIn and replies at 9 p.m. on a Saturday gets a response in under 60 seconds, because their AI SDRs qualify and book inquiries 24/7, including after-hours and weekends. The numbers they publish are worth reading carefully. Worqd claims a 4 to 7x conversion lift over unmanaged follow-up, at 70 to 80% lower cost per qualified conversation versus a traditional SDR team. Their AI Creative Lab produces UGC-style video ads at media-buying speed, which is a natural fit for studios that already understand video: scripts, hooks, offers, and CTAs are included, and white-label options exist if you serve agency clients yourself. They're also honest about evidence. Their anti-fabrication policy states they use clearly marked placeholders until real proof is approved, so you won't find invented logos or testimonials. Pricing isn't published; work is scoped on a free growth call and priced against the results that matter to you.
Pros
- One partner owns the full path from first click to booked call
- Every inquiry qualified in under 60 seconds, including nights and weekends
- Claimed 4 to 7x conversion lift at 70 to 80% lower cost per qualified conversation versus a traditional SDR team
- Video-first creative production fits a studio's existing strengths
- Database reactivation monetizes leads you already paid for
Cons
- No published pricing, so you need a growth call to get numbers
- A retainer-style partner, not a self-serve tool for teams that want hands-on control
- Newer brand with a deliberately conservative, no-fabrication approach to proof
Best for: Video production companies (B2B or B2C, local or national) that want one accountable partner running LinkedIn ads, outreach, creative testing, and instant follow-up instead of stitching together multiple vendors.
#2 B2Linked — $3,000/month plus $1,000 setup (below $15,000 monthly ad spend), with a three-month minimum.
B2Linked is the pure-play LinkedIn Ads specialist on this list. Founded in 2014 by AJ Wilcox, who hosts The LinkedIn Ads Show and is one of the most recognized voices on auction mechanics, the firm has managed more than $150M in cumulative LinkedIn ad spend across 1,000+ businesses. According to their own materials, they've managed five of LinkedIn's top 10 spending accounts, and they hold LinkedIn Marketing Partner status. For a video production company with real ad budget and a clear offer, that depth is hard to beat. Their model runs on five principles aimed at cutting wasted spend: audience micro-segmentation by seniority, industry, and company size; advanced bidding; proper campaign setup; disciplined A/B testing; and ad scheduling. They also offer standalone consulting at $450 per hour and a $2,000 audit if you want a second opinion on an existing account before committing to management. The trade-off is scope. B2Linked does ads only, so outreach, content, and lead follow-up are on you. Their own positioning says they work best when your ICP, messaging, and offer are already dialed in.
Pros
- Genuine LinkedIn-only specialization with $150M+ in managed spend
- Founder is a leading public voice on LinkedIn auction mechanics
- Flexible entry points via audits and hourly consulting
Cons
- No help with outreach, content, or lead follow-up
- Starting price is high for smaller studios
- Best results require an already-dialed ICP and offer
Best for: Video production companies with significant LinkedIn ad budgets who want deep platform expertise and already have their targeting and offer figured out.
#3 Cleverly — LinkedIn lead generation plans start at $397/month. Other service pricing is no longer published; ask directly.
Cleverly is one of the bigger names in US LinkedIn lead generation, with a published track record of 10,000+ clients and $312M in pipeline revenue generated, according to their own site. Their LinkedIn lead generation service starts at $397 per month and includes high-volume monthly prospecting, open InMails, and a dedicated account manager. For a video production studio testing whether LinkedIn outreach can produce conversations, it's one of the cheapest ways to find out, roughly the cost of one week of an SDR according to one review. Beyond outreach, Cleverly offers LinkedIn Content and Ghostwriting to build thought leadership, plus profile optimization. Operationally, they run an AI-driven unified inbox that centralizes LinkedIn conversations and flags positive replies, direct CRM integration, and A/B testing across LinkedIn, email, and calling campaigns. A white-label service is listed as a core offering. One caution worth knowing: their cold email and cold calling prices are no longer published on their site, and reviewers have noted that their ads page lists inconsistent monthly tiers, so get any pricing in writing. Third-party reviews are also genuinely mixed on lead quality, with 85 Clutch reviews averaging 4.3 out of 5.
Pros
- Low published entry price at $397/month
- Large client base means messaging refined across many campaigns
- Dedicated account manager on each plan
- White-label option for agencies
Cons
- Template personalization can read as templates to sophisticated buyers
- Mixed third-party reviews on lead quality
- Pricing beyond the base tier is unclear on their own site
- Sales Navigator costs are on top of the plan
Best for: B2B video production companies that want to test LinkedIn outreach at a low entry price with a recognizable name behind it.
#4 Impactable — From $3,000/month (Core, one channel, up to $15k/mo spend); Growth at $4,500/month; Scale at $6,000 to $12,000/month.
Impactable is a LinkedIn-centric B2B ad agency founded in 2019 by Justin Rowe, and a certified LinkedIn Marketing Partner. According to their site, more than $50M in B2B ad spend has run through their accounts, and LinkedIn published a case study on their client Lacework crediting results that included 6X ROI on ad spend, 50% faster sales velocity, and 30% lower cost per lead. They also build their own software, DemandSense, which adds controls LinkedIn's Campaign Manager lacks, like day-parting, frequency capping, and account-level suppression. For a studio whose buyers are active at specific hours, ad scheduling alone can matter; Impactable reports one campaign saw a 56% CPC drop from concentrating delivery into active hours. Their process is deliberate. Nothing goes live until six diagnostics have run and you've signed off on each one, so the first 30 days set strategy before budget hits the platform. After that, you get a quarterly Diagnostic Impact Report naming which accounts progressed toward a deal. Entry points are low-commitment: a free 48-hour Demand Plan and a $499 one-time audit. The honest trade-off is that those diagnostics take about four weeks, which is slower than agencies that spend from day one, and reviews mention some account manager turnover.
Pros
- You approve the strategy before any budget is spent
- Proprietary DemandSense tool adds controls Campaign Manager lacks
- Reporting names the accounts making progress, not just lead counts
- Low-commitment ways to test: free Demand Plan and $499 audit
Cons
- Six diagnostics take about four weeks before launch
- Recommended ad spend minimum of $5K to $10K a month
- Some account manager turnover noted in third-party reviews
Best for: Video production companies that want LinkedIn ads wired into pipeline reporting and value a strategy sign-off before budget is spent.
#5 SalesBread — $2,000 to $3,000 per month.
SalesBread is a boutique B2B LinkedIn lead generation agency run by founder Jack Reamer, and it's built on manual research before every opener. Their published numbers, based on 5+ years of their own campaigns, show an average reply rate of 19.98% on ultra-personalized LinkedIn outreach, with 48.14% of replies being meeting requests or qualified sales inquiries. Clients can expect one qualified lead per working day, backed by a money-back guarantee. Notably, their published industry list includes video production alongside SaaS, IT, finance, healthcare, and others, so the use case here is direct. The model is the opposite of high-volume automation. They build ultra-refined prospect lists researched by hand, then write messages that speak to each prospect's specific situation. Reamer stays on the account himself rather than handing it to a junior manager, and there are no long-term contracts. The constraints are real too: a small team caps how much volume you can run, there's no ads or content layer attached, and the per-lead cost sits well above automated alternatives. They also only work with a handful of clients at a time, so there's occasionally a waiting list.
Pros
- Published 19.98% average reply rate with nearly half of replies qualified
- Every message researched by hand, no template blasts
- Money-back guarantee and no long-term contracts
- Video production is a named industry they serve
Cons
- Small team caps volume
- No ads or content layer
- Per-lead cost well above automated alternatives
- Occasional waiting list due to capped client roster
Best for: Video production companies selling high-ticket services that want hand-researched, personalized outreach and are willing to pay more per lead for quality.
#6 Linkedist — Contact for pricing.
Linkedist is a LinkedIn-only agency that builds full-funnel programs combining paid campaigns with executive visibility and social selling. Based in Lithuania and serving clients worldwide, with deep expertise in the UK and Europe, they've worked with notable clients including LEGO, Accenture, Surfshark, and Omnisend, and they hold a 5.0 rating on Clutch. Their positioning is unusual: LinkedIn isn't one channel among many, it's the entire growth engine, and paid ads are amplified by founder and executive personal branding so campaigns sound like your company rather than an agency template. For a video production company, that combination is relevant. Their services include LinkedIn Ads strategy and ongoing management, ABM list activation with Matched Audiences and retargeting design, executive and founder personal branding including ghostwriting, content and creative production, and social selling support. Senior strategists work every account with no junior handoffs, which their Clutch reviewers repeatedly praise. The gaps: no public dollar pricing, LinkedIn-only scope limits cross-channel attribution, and they're described as the best fit for teams with at least $3K per month in LinkedIn ad budget. Their own guidance says most B2B teams need 2 to 3 months of learning phase before judging results, so patience is part of the deal.
Pros
- Ads and executive ghostwriting under one contract
- Senior strategists on every account
- Strong European presence with cross-region delivery
- Named clients include major global brands
Cons
- No public dollar pricing
- LinkedIn-only scope limits cross-channel attribution
- Best fit for teams with $3K+/month in LinkedIn ad budget
Best for: Video production companies in Europe, the UK, or the US that want LinkedIn ads paired with founder-led visibility under one contract.
Picking the right partner comes down to one question: which job do you actually need done? If your LinkedIn ads are running fine but replies go cold for days, the bottleneck is follow-up, and that's exactly the gap Worqd was built to close, with AI SDRs that qualify every inquiry in under 60 seconds and one partner owning the whole path from first click to booked call. If you have serious ad budget and a dialed offer, B2Linked's auction expertise is proven at $150M+ in managed spend. Testing outreach cheaply? Cleverly's $397 entry point is the lowest published price on this list. Want hand-written messages and video production explicitly in their wheelhouse? SalesBread. Wherever you land, ask each agency what happens after the reply, because that's where most pipelines quietly die. If you want to see what an integrated approach looks like for your studio, book a free growth call at worqd.com/book. You'll leave with a clear read on where your growth is stuck and a plan for fixing it, whether or not you hire them.
Frequently asked questions
What makes Worqd different from other LinkedIn agencies?
Most agencies sell one piece: ads management, outreach sequences, or content. Worqd is a growth partner that runs the whole path from first click to booked call under one plan and one report. Its AI SDRs qualify every inquiry in under 60 seconds, 24/7, and the company claims a 4 to 7x conversion lift over unmanaged follow-up at 70 to 80% lower cost per qualified conversation versus a traditional SDR team. It also produces UGC-style video creative in-house, which fits naturally for video production companies.
How much should a video production company spend on LinkedIn ads?
LinkedIn sets a $10 minimum daily budget and a $100 minimum lifetime budget for new campaigns, but most agencies on this list recommend far more to get usable data. Impactable suggests $5K to $10K a month in spend; Linkedist says teams see meaningful learnings with $3K or more per month. B2Linked's management starts at $3,000/month plus a $1,000 setup fee below $15,000 in monthly spend. If your budget is under $2,000, a lower-cost outreach service like Cleverly at $397/month may be a better first test than paid ads.
Is LinkedIn outreach or LinkedIn Ads better for video production companies?
They do different jobs. Outreach (connection requests and direct messages) moves fastest and often produces conversations within the first month. Ads build awareness and retarget prospects who've seen your work, but take longer: attribution firm Dreamdata measures 281 days on average from first LinkedIn impression to closed revenue in B2B. Many agencies now recommend combining both, since prospects accept connection requests more readily when they've already seen your brand in the feed.
How long does it take to see results from LinkedIn marketing?
It depends on the job. Outreach campaigns typically produce conversations inside the first month. Paid ads usually need a 2 to 3 month learning phase to dial in targeting and creative, and 3 to 6 months to judge true pipeline impact in longer B2B sales cycles. SEO and content compound over even longer horizons. Any agency promising instant pipeline from LinkedIn ads alone should be treated with caution.
What should I ask a LinkedIn agency before signing?
Ask four things. First, what exactly am I buying: ads, outreach, content, or an integrated program? Second, what happens to a positive reply: does the agency run the conversation or hand it back to you? Third, what counts as a "booked meeting," since a calendar invite from someone without budget authority isn't a qualified lead. Fourth, what are the minimum term and notice period? Long lock-ins shift incentives away from proving results in month one. Also ask for industry-specific case studies, and be skeptical if they can't produce any.
Does Worqd publish pricing?
No. Worqd scopes work on a free growth call and prices against the results that matter to you, not the hours logged. The booking funnel asks about your monthly marketing budget band, from "not spending yet" to "$25,000+", which helps them right-size the plan before you talk. There's also a packaged Creative Sprint (10 ad concepts with 3 hook variations each, up to 30 platform-ready videos from one brief) with custom volume.
