Some great news to share! Dreamdata won the 2026 LinkedIn Marketing Partner Award for B2B Thought Leadership, received at LinkedIn's Partner Connect in New York a couple weeks back.

Being recognised by LinkedIn, not just as a partner, but for the work we do to help B2B marketers think differently about measurement and performance, is something the whole team is really proud of.

It's the second time LinkedIn has recognised Dreamdata at the Partner Marketing Awards (we won the Customer Value Award back in 2024), and it means a lot.

What’s The B2B Thought Leadership Award About?

The B2B Thought Leadership Award goes to the partner who's done the most to push the B2B marketing conversation forward with original insights and practical guidance that help marketers get more out of LinkedIn.

For us, the LinkedIn Ads Benchmarks Report has played a huge part in receiving this award.

Every year, we dig into real customer data to show how LinkedIn (and other major ad platforms) actually perform for B2B companies.


Why This Award Matters to Us


Dreamdata exists to help B2B marketers do their jobs better, giving them real insights to prove what's working, and to take guesswork out of the equation.

That’s why we love partnering with LinkedIn, and it's a relationship we've invested deeply in because we believe LinkedIn is one of the most important channels for B2B marketers, and we want to help them get the most out of it.

As our CMO Steffen Hedebrandt puts it: "As part of the LinkedIn Marketing Program, Dreamdata is able to integrate with LinkedIn to provide the most accurate view of how LinkedIn impacts the entire B2B customer journey."

Case and point, LinkedIn Ads delivers a 121% return on investment, making it the only channel with a positive return. Read more in our 2026 LinkedIn Ads benchmarks report. 


Since our 2024 Marketing Partner Award, we've continued to build out our capabilities with LinkedIn, like our integration with LinkedIn’s Company Intelligence API, which gives you the most complete and accurate view yet of how your LinkedIn activities, both paid and organic, drive revenue and pipeline.


LinkedIn Is Moving Fast In the Right Direction


One thing that stood out at Partner Connect is just how quickly LinkedIn is evolving its marketing platform, and in a direction that's genuinely exciting for B2B.

A great example is the Company Intelligence API, which opens up a new layer of firmographic and company-level data for partners like us to build on. 

For B2B marketers, this kind of development is a big deal. It means richer targeting, better audience insights, and ultimately more ways to connect ad spend to the companies that actually matter to your pipeline.

Developments like these are exactly why we're so invested in this partnership because they create opportunities for us to build better tools.


What’s Next


Every feature we build, every integration we ship, comes back to one thing: helping marketers do their jobs better. Not drowning them in dashboards, but giving them clear, trustworthy insights that answer the questions their leadership is asking - what is actually working, what's driving pipeline, and where should we invest next.

Winning this award reinforces that we're on the right track. 🩵

If you're a B2B marketer who wants to finally understand what your LinkedIn Ads are really driving, we'd love to show you.
