Performance Marketing / Social Media Advertising

Social Media Advertising

Paid social is a creative business with a media budget attached - and creative is where the performance is.

On search, you win by being present at the moment of intent. On social, nobody was looking for you at all - which means the creative has to earn the attention before the targeting can do anything useful. Platform algorithms have absorbed most of the targeting advantage agencies used to sell; what is left, and what still moves cost per acquisition, is the work.

We run paid social across Meta, LinkedIn, YouTube, X, Pinterest and Snapchat as one budget - producing creative in volume, testing it systematically, and reporting against acquisition cost rather than reach.

What We Manage

Social media advertising features

Creative production, platform strategy and measurement, run as one system across every channel.

01

Creative Production at Volume

Statics, carousels and short video produced in enough quantity to test properly - because on paid social the creative is the targeting.

02

Platform & Budget Strategy

Budget allocated across Meta, LinkedIn, YouTube, X, Pinterest and Snapchat by where your buyers actually are, reviewed as performance shifts rather than set once.

03

Audience Strategy

First-party audiences and lookalikes built from your own customer and site data, with broad targeting used deliberately where the algorithm outperforms manual segments.

04

Ad Formats & Placements

The right format for the objective and placement - Reels, Stories, in-feed, collection, catalogue and lead forms - built natively rather than one asset resized everywhere.

05

Testing & Optimisation

Structured creative testing with a clear hypothesis per round, so you learn which message works rather than which post got lucky.

06

Tracking & Reporting

Pixels, conversions API, catalogue feeds and UTM discipline set up properly, with reporting on cost per acquisition and creative-level performance.

Why The Brand Bee

A creative team inside the media team

Most paid social agencies buy media and ask you for assets. Ours produce the assets, which is why our clients can test at the volume the platforms now require.

  • In-house design, copy and video production, so creative volume is not the bottleneck it usually becomes.
  • Systematic testing with a stated hypothesis per round, rather than uploading variations and hoping.
  • Server-side tracking and conversions API set up properly, which materially changes measured performance.
  • One budget managed across platforms, so spend moves to what is working instead of sitting in silos.
  • Reporting at creative level, so you know which execution earned the result and what to make next.
Our paid social approach
Our Approach

How we run paid social

Get the measurement right, produce enough creative to learn something, then concentrate budget behind what wins.

1

Audit tracking first - pixel, conversions API, events and attribution settings before any spend decision.

2

Define the offer, the audience and the commercial target the campaign has to hit.

3

Produce a first creative slate designed to test distinct angles, not cosmetic variations.

4

Launch with a clean structure that lets each platform's algorithm learn without fragmenting budget.

5

Read results at creative level weekly, killing losers early and scaling winners deliberately.

6

Refresh creative before fatigue rather than after, and report against cost per acquisition monthly.

FAQs

Paid social, answered

Wherever your buyers are, which is usually fewer platforms than people expect. Meta suits most consumer businesses on reach and cost; LinkedIn suits high-value B2B despite far higher click costs; YouTube suits consideration-heavy purchases. We would rather concentrate budget on two platforms properly than spread it thinly across six.
It is the single biggest lever, and by a distance. Platform targeting has automated to the point where the algorithm finds the audience if the creative earns attention. Two campaigns with identical targeting and different creative routinely differ several-fold in cost per acquisition.
Enough for each campaign to exit the learning phase and generate meaningful conversion volume - otherwise you spend money without learning anything. The exact figure depends on your cost per acquisition, and we would rather tell you honestly that a budget is too small to test properly than take it and report noise.
Signal loss is real and permanent. We mitigate it with server-side tracking through the conversions API, offline conversion imports and, where volume allows, incrementality testing. The practical implication is that platform-reported numbers should be sense-checked against your own revenue data rather than trusted outright.
Cost per acquisition or return on ad spend against your target, plus creative-level results so you know what to produce next. We reconcile platform-reported numbers against your actual sales data rather than reporting the platform's figures alone.
