Paid Social
When used correctly, Paid Social can be a powerful marketing channel. It is often used to display a variety of advert formats from text to image and video to carousel. Primarily aimed at showcasing sponsored messages to social network users based on user profile and browsing habits.
Businesses are charged at different points depending on the objective (or algorithm) they have decided to build their strategy and campaign around. From this, Paid Social can be usilised to achieve a host of business objectives from brand awareness to create future demand, build website traffic with relevant users and gain conversions (enquiries and purchases).
Ensuring Paid Social is done right
Paid Social is one of many channels that can be optimised to grow your visual identity through the mediums of creative design and messaging. Whilst creative is often seen as the forefront of any social strategy, our seasoned teams are data-driven to ensure the best optimisations and decisions are being made at the right time. This is done through analysing pixel data and monitoring industry trends.

Paid Social FAQS
Why is social media advertising important?
When implemented in the right way within the correct strategy, social media ads can become a powerful channel for any business. In contrast to the rumours whereby Paid Social is only relevant for ‘brand awareness’ purposes, the platforms available within this day and age are excellent for growing businesses through sales. With the rise of social commerce, more and more users are now discovering new businesses and products on social platforms and not being afraid to purchase.
What is a pixel?
Most social platforms today have their own ‘pixel’, which in essence is a snippet of code that a business can place on their website. The purpose of the pixel is to allow businesses the opportunity to collect relevant performance data from conversions to website interactions. The pixel can also be a tool to help build direction towards what optimisations are needed. It is also essential if the business is looking to build retargeting audience lists.
Is social media advertising relevant for both B2C and B2B?
Paid Social is a tool that can work for a variety of different objectives, which can satisfy those that sit within either B2C or B2B businesses. It is with utmost importance that the campaign goals, strategies, creative and content are built towards each business. Each of these different elements will have a significant impact on how customers perceive and react to each campaign.
