Paid Social Advertising.
Make the creative relevant.
Connect attention to a useful action.
Paid social advertising uses selected social platforms to introduce an offer, support a response, or reach an appropriate audience. We connect campaign planning, creative, destination, measurement, and ongoing review within agreed budget boundaries.
The same artwork and caption do not suit every setting. Meta campaigns can use Facebook and Instagram placements, while TikTok has its own account, creative, and authorization requirements. We decide which platform and format fit the task, prepare a useful destination, and review response quality. Organic publishing, creator partnerships, and paid media remain distinct scopes even when they share a campaign idea.

A review with clear optimization priorities.
The marketing in practice.
A specialist retail launch might test a product demonstration against a use-case explanation. Both ads should lead to accurate product information and a usable purchase route. The review compares meaningful response evidence rather than assuming the most-liked creative is the best business performer.
| The question or stage | What we examine | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Creative | A clear product or service story | Give the intended audience a reason to pay attention. |
| Response | A coherent destination or form | Make the promised next step work. |
| Review | Relevant outcomes and feedback | Separate social engagement from business value. |
To show how paid social advertising can support a decision. Your campaign and recommendations depend on the offer, audience, evidence, and constraints in your own brief.
Agree the brief.
Then make the work.
The proposal defines platforms, campaigns, markets, variants, production, tracking, and management. Media spend, creator fees, extensive filming, organic account management, and sales follow-up are separate unless included.
| Before we start | What we agree |
|---|---|
| The decision | The audience, offer, question, and boundaries the work needs to address. |
| The deliverables | Marketing and implementation scope, format, review rounds, responsibilities, and handover. |
| The investment | Written fees, schedule, dependencies, and any separate third-party or implementation costs. |
We confirm the proposal before work begins. You can commission a focused engagement, connect it to a wider plan, or ask about a separately scoped delivery phase.
Discuss scope and timingUseful questions.
Straightforward answers.
Can you run Facebook and Instagram ads?
Yes. We can scope work in Meta Ads Manager for the selected placements, with business ownership, account access, assets, and measurement requirements agreed.
Can you manage TikTok advertising too?
TikTok campaigns can be included when the audience, offer, creative resources, account eligibility, and measurement support a useful plan.
Is boosting a post the same as a complete advertising program?
A boosted post is one promotion approach. A broader program also needs a clear audience, objective, budget, creative plan, response path, and evaluation process.
Can we advertise using a creator’s existing video?
Only with the appropriate rights and platform authorization. For example, TikTok Spark Ads can use authorized creator posts. Paid usage, duration, and permissions should be agreed explicitly.
Do likes and video views count as leads?
No. They describe attention or engagement. Leads and sales require separate definitions and evidence.
Do you manage comments and messages on ads?
That can be scoped, with response boundaries, staffing, escalation, and timing responsibilities made clear before launch.
How do you price this service?
We define the initial work, ongoing responsibilities, reporting, review rhythm, and dependencies in a written proposal. Agency fees are separate from advertising spend, creator fees, software, and other third-party costs unless explicitly included.
What do you need from us before starting?
Bring your offer, intended customers, service area, existing website and content, available account reports, and budget or timing constraints. We identify the access and approvals needed; your business should retain ownership of its accounts.
