This is the reason Microsoft Advertising announced the release of three <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/about.ads.microsoft.com\/en-us\/blog\/post\/september-2020\/dynamic-remarketing-linkedin-profile-targeting-in-market-are-here\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>audience targeting features<\/strong><\/a> <strong>Dynamic Remarketing<\/strong>\u00a0lists and\u00a0<strong>In-market Audiences<\/strong>\u00a0in France &amp; Germany for search campaigns, and\u00a0<strong>LinkedIn Profile targeting<\/strong>\u00a0for both search and audience campaigns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Earlier this year, Microsoft Advertising has made Responsive Search Ads available to all Microsoft Advertising customers, and since then they are putting continuous effort to make RSAs work for its customers.
