Social advertising works when creative, audiences, data, landing pages and campaign structure pull in the same direction. We plan and manage Meta and LinkedIn campaigns for ecommerce and lead generation businesses, measured on cost per acquisition and revenue rather than engagement.
Paid search reaches people already looking. Paid social reaches people who were not. That single difference changes everything about how a campaign should be built: the creative has to earn attention, the offer has to be understood in seconds, and the landing experience has to carry a colder visitor further than a search click would need to.
It also changes measurement. Platform-reported conversions are modelled, and taking them at face value leads to overspending on remarketing and underinvesting in the campaigns actually creating demand. We reconcile platform data against real revenue and enquiries before making budget decisions.
Whether the channel is there to create demand, convert it, or both – and what a good result costs.

Landing pages, remarketing and CRM sequences so a click has somewhere worthwhile to go.

Client results
Results and evidence
UFC Collectibles, the official home of UFC memorabilia, launched with a single brand awareness campaign. We then scaled it into a structured paid social strategy across EMEA, the EU, North America and LATAM. We report on every account the same way: against agreed commercial metrics such as revenue and cost per acquisition, not engagement.
What we changed for UFC Collectibles
An always-on brand campaign, so fans kept finding the new store
Campaigns before and after major UFC events, with budgets flexed to each event
Continuous tests of creative formats, audiences and messaging in each region
Meta lead generation for an international healthcare provider
Meta instant forms captured contact details from prospective patients, and feedback from actual sales shaped the follow-up. Sales revenue rose 988% over six months.
A brochure on changing regulations was offered to developers and contractors through LinkedIn lead gen forms. Ad copy and audiences were tested, and budget moved to the ads delivering the best results.
No social activity had run for two years. Facebook Shop, the Pixel and a product catalogue were synced with the Shopify store, then retargeting and catalogue ads reached a better-qualified audience. Purchases rose 450%.
LinkedIn lead generation for hotel decision‑makers
LinkedIn campaigns tested case studies against food and beverage eBooks. An eBook generated just over six times as many leads, so budget moved to the eBooks and lead numbers rose 71%.
Facebook and Instagram ads run as a full paid social strategy
A full paid social strategy started in February 2021. Spend was reduced when shops reopened, which helped return on investment, and direct traffic rose 200% compared with the previous period.
Often yes, but with different expectations. LinkedIn works for targeted reach into defined roles and sectors, and Meta can work for demand generation and remarketing. B2B paid social usually earns its place alongside search rather than replacing it.
Do you produce the creative?
We plan creative direction, messaging and testing structure, and we can produce and adapt assets. Where you have an in-house or brand team, we brief them on what the data says is working.
How many creatives do you need to test?
Enough to test genuinely different angles rather than colour changes. Creative is the main performance variable on social, so we test propositions, formats and hooks – not just headlines.
How do you handle tracking after privacy changes?
Server-side tracking where appropriate, conversion API set-up, consent-aware measurement and blended reporting so platform-reported results are sense-checked against actual revenue or enquiries.
Can paid social work for considered, high-value purchases?
Yes, when it is treated as a full funnel rather than a direct response channel. Prospecting builds demand, remarketing and CRM follow it through, and measurement is set up to credit the channel fairly.
