Paid social

Paid social run as a performance channel

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.

  • Meta, Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn
  • Prospecting and remarketing structures
  • Creative testing built into the plan
  • Tracking designed for a privacy-restricted world

Interruption, not intent

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.

What we manage

Meta Ads

Facebook and Instagram campaigns across prospecting, remarketing, catalogue and lead forms.

LinkedIn Ads

Used where the audience justifies the cost: defined roles, sectors, company sizes and account lists.

Audience strategy

Interest, behavioural, lookalike, customer list and value-based audiences, structured to avoid overlap.

Prospecting

Campaigns built to create demand and feed the rest of the funnel, measured on incremental contribution.

Remarketing

Segmented by intent and recency, capped sensibly, and stopped when it is simply buying sales you already had.

Creative testing

Structured testing of propositions, formats and hooks, with clear rules on what wins and when.

Campaign structure

Consolidated where the algorithm needs volume, separated where budget control and reporting matter.

Ecommerce

Catalogue and advantage+ campaigns, feed quality, product-level performance and margin awareness.

Lead generation

On-platform forms versus landing pages, lead quality filtering and CRM feedback loops.

How we approach paid social

  1. 1

    Define the commercial job

    Whether the channel is there to create demand, convert it, or both – and what a good result costs.

  2. 2

    Fix measurement first

    Conversions API, consent handling and a blended view so decisions are made on real numbers.

  3. 3

    Build audience and creative matrix

    A test plan mapping audiences against messages so results are readable.

  4. 4

    Run, learn, scale

    Kill losing angles quickly, scale winners carefully, and refresh creative before fatigue hits performance.

  5. 5

    Connect the follow-through

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

Commercial outcomes we work towards

  • Profitable customer acquisition from a channel with no existing intent
  • Lower blended cost per acquisition across paid channels
  • Creative that keeps performing because testing is continuous
  • Better quality leads, filtered before they reach your sales team
  • Stronger remarketing performance from cleaner audience data
  • Honest reporting on what social contributes to revenue

Frequently asked questions

Is paid social right for a B2B business?

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.
