Rippling sells a unified workforce platform — HR, IT, payroll, spend and finance in one system — to companies scaling in the US and globally. It is one of the very highest-volume B2B advertisers on LinkedIn (12,000+ live ads at capture) and runs an unusually complete playbook. A relentless incentive machine offers a gift for a demo (a $150 Nike/Lululemon card, an Apple Watch, a Ninja CREAMi, three months of free PEO); a competitive-proof engine leans on switcher stats (“after brightwheel switched from Deel to Rippling: 96% faster”), customer testimonials and the G2 Grid; a research layer gates lead magnets (the AI Benchmark Hiring Report); and — most distinctively — Rippling boosts personalized Message Ads from named sales reps, complete with %FIRSTNAME%/%COMPANYNAME% merge tags and their own gift-card offers, targeted country by country. The through-line in every format: “unify HR, IT and Finance.”
