A tailored solution that supports your business strategy
With a data-driven approach, our team of Meta, TikTok and Pinterest specialists work to concretely improve your performance. In this way, paid social functions as a strong marketing channel in its own right — and its impact is further amplified within a broader marketing mix, ensuring your strategy is streamlined and tailored to your overall objectives.
To achieve these goals, we work with a performance-based approach where we generate increased revenue for you — either through branding and volume for your other channels, or via conversion-focused campaigns. We leverage our extensive knowledge of your competitors, the strengths of each platform, and the relevant seasons to ensure you get the maximum return from the initiatives selected.
To give you the best possible insight into how we work to tailor a solution for you, we have outlined the steps we typically follow below — always with your specific needs and goals in mind.
1. Budgeting and goal setting
Before we begin work on your social media advertising, we work together with you to explore how your objectives can best be aligned with your budget. This ensures that your expectations are in line with the advice we can offer you.
Our highest priority is always to create a valuable partnership, with transparency as a core value.
2. In-depth data insights as a foundation
Social media platforms serve as valuable databases that, with our help, enable you to target ads at defined segments of existing customers and potential leads — across a broad spectrum of definition options. This creates a unique opportunity to increase awareness of your brand, drive traffic to your website, and ultimately grow your revenue. Our strategic approach leverages the vast amount of data users contribute through their interactions, providing the foundation to proactively serve targeted ads even before users search for your products or services. With the advanced segmentation capabilities that social media offers, we can make your ads relevant to users in a fundamentally different way than traditional keyword-based approaches such as Google Ads alone allow.
3. A cross-platform strategy
To achieve effective social media advertising, we identify gaps in the customer journey to ensure the strategy is targeted and continuously optimised. By understanding performance across platforms, we can focus on the channels that drive the most conversions, and by sharing data across our internal departments, we strengthen the acquisition of new potential customers.
To achieve the best possible results from your strategic initiatives, it is important to view all your marketing efforts as an integrated whole, where social media advertising works closely alongside SEO, Google Ads and email marketing, among others. With a deep understanding of each platform's contribution and role, we ensure the entire customer journey is covered wherever gaps exist. In this way, we can adapt and integrate your activities so that your brand stands as strong as possible in its entirety in front of potential customers. This approach also ensures that your ads are sharper and more relevant, improving the chances of conversions by maintaining and reinforcing the relevance of your messages throughout the user's decision-making process.
4. Creative development of targeted content
Building on competitor analysis and a close pulse on industry trends, we create content that your target audience finds genuinely valuable to engage with. Each platform has different core features, user engagement patterns and formats, which is why it is essential that these conditions speak to each channel's unique premises, so that your brand comes across as credible to your target audience. This involves an interplay between compelling ad copy and the production of creatives that significantly increase user engagement compared to text alone. Our creative designers work closely with the paid social specialists to ensure your ads achieve the best possible results.
5. Campaign setup
To ensure a well-organised and targeted campaign, we divide your advertising efforts into retargeting and prospecting.
With retargeting, we take a strategic focus on re-engaging users who have previously interacted with your brand — whether through visits to your website, interactions with previous ads, or completed actions related to your website. By reminding the user of the product or service they were considering, or the content they engaged with, we increase the likelihood that they will return to complete what they came for. This makes retargeting an effective strategy for staying "top of mind" with potential customers, as the ability to tailor ads specifically to a user's previous behaviour can lead to an increase in CTR and conversions.
In prospecting campaigns, we proactively work to reach new potential customers. Data from your platforms makes it possible to identify customers who resemble your existing ones but have not yet interacted with your brand. On platforms such as Facebook and Instagram, we create lookalike audiences, enabling us to reach users who resemble existing customers based on factors such as demographics, interests and behaviour. This ensures that your messages reach relevant, potentially converting users.
With this targeted approach to campaign setup, we ensure that you achieve success with your advertising.
6. Campaign analysis and optimisation
We work continuously to improve your performance. To give you the best conditions for achieving strong results on digital platforms, we always keep a close eye on platform algorithms, which change on a regular basis. In addition, we collect extensive data on the campaigns we launch in order to stay up to date on how they are performing. Here we focus on metrics including conversion rates, engagement, CTR, CPA and ROI, so we can continually make optimisations that create value. These optimisations target factors such as: fine-tuning audiences based on interaction and engagement, the use of selected digital channels, and the content we produce for them. In this way, we ensure that your ads continue to be relevant to your target audience, while you differentiate yourself from competitors.
7. Reporting and adjustment
Our specialists guide you through the social media advertising process. We develop detailed reports that summarise the results of our work and give you a full overview of whether we have reached your desired goals. That said, our experience shows that working with paid social is not simply a one-off exercise where a strategy is drawn up and executed, after which the advertising takes care of itself. It requires continuous analysis and optimisation that keeps you relevant and credible as a brand in the eyes of potential customers — by responding to the trends and interests that continue to evolve among your customers.
