Citrus America X-Pro LinkedIn Campaign
A two-pronged LinkedIn campaign approved during the March 2026 marketing sync to launch the X-Pro juicer and build brand awareness simultaneously. The two ads serve distinct purposes and audiences but share a common retargeting infrastructure.
Campaign Overview

Ad 1: X-Pro Product |
Ad 2: Founder Story |

| Goal |

| CTA |

"Read more" (soft, non-salesy) |
| Landing Page |

"In the News" blog post (citrusamerica.com) |
| Tone |
Product-forward, commercial |
Personal, authentic |
Ad 1: X-Pro Product Launch
Rationale
The X-Pro is a new product with genuine excitement among people who know juicing. The campaign leans into the "best just got better" angle — targeting buyers who want premium equipment to match their premium store brand.
Targeting
- Geography: Core U.S. markets
- Industry: Grocery retail (mid-size to large)
- Example accounts: Kroger, Walmart, Sam's Club
- Personas: VP of Produce, Director of Perimeter, VP of Fresh, Store Operations Managers
Key Messaging Notes
- Emphasize that the X-Pro is a step-change, not an incremental update — "if you know juicing, you'll recognize what this is"
- Appeals to retailers who want the best for their customers and whose store brand reflects quality
- Screwless design, larger fruit capability, and 10-inch monitor are differentiating visual proof points
CTA & Conversion
- CTA: "Schedule a virtual demo of the X-Pro"
- Destination: Dedicated X-Pro landing page on citrusamerica.com
- Retargeting tag fires on page visit, enabling follow-up ads across other platforms
Ad 2: Founder Story
Rationale
Personal storytelling performs well on LinkedIn, especially when it doesn't feel like a sponsored post. Running this from Brian's personal page rather than the company page increases authenticity and organic draw.
Content
- Links to a new "In the News" blog post on citrusamerica.com featuring the 15-year founder interview/press release
- The press release was previously distributed via Access Wire and picked up by Yahoo Finance and AP Wire
- The blog post gives the ad a destination on the company website (required for retargeting)
CTA & Conversion
- CTA: "Read more" — deliberately soft, no product pitch
- Destination: The founder interview blog post on citrusamerica.com
- Retargeting tag fires on page visit; retargeted ads should lead to the homepage or a general brand page, not the X-Pro landing page (audience hasn't been introduced to the product yet)
Retargeting Strategy
Both ads are designed to drive traffic to citrusamerica.com so the Google Ads retargeting pixel fires. This enables follow-up display ads across other platforms, increasing brand touchpoints before a purchase decision.
Key principle: Ad spend drives traffic to the website — not to external press release URLs or LinkedIn articles — so that every paid click contributes to the retargeting audience.
