Paid Acquisition
Paid Social
Paid social reaches people across feeds, video, messaging and professional networks before or alongside active search demand. Effective campaigns combine a commercially relevant offer, strong platform-native creative, appropriate audience and delivery controls, reliable conversion signals and measurement that connects platform activity to qualified leads, sales or pipeline.

- 04Measurement
Use paid social to reach, retarget and nurture defined audiences when demand must be created or reinforced rather than simply captured.
- Meta and LinkedIn selected around the audience and objective
- Structured creative experimentation, not one-off ads
- Qualified leads and commercial outcomes prioritised over engagement
Paid social objectives.
These are the objectives we agree and measure against. We do not publish performance figures we cannot evidence.
Qualified acquisition
Measure leads or sales against an agreed quality definition rather than optimising only for raw form volume.
Commercial contribution
Connect paid social activity to revenue, opportunities, pipeline or other meaningful downstream outcomes where the data allows it.
Creative learning
Build evidence around which messages, formats, offers and concepts perform for different campaign objectives.
Delivery efficiency
Evaluate cost and conversion quality across audiences, placements and delivery approaches without assuming narrow manual targeting is always superior.
Re-engagement efficiency
Measure whether remarketing or warm-audience activity contributes useful additional conversions rather than assuming every returning visitor was recovered by advertising.
Why paid social underperforms.
Search tactics applied to social
Interruption treated like intent, with ads that assume the viewer is already looking.
Creative exhaustion
A narrow set of concepts is repeatedly exposed without enough variation or evidence-led replacement, leaving the campaign dependent on assets whose effectiveness may deteriorate over time.
Weak offer
Nothing compelling enough to justify stopping a scroll or filling a form.
Attribution without reconciliation
Platform, analytics and CRM results can differ because they use different attribution windows, identifiers, view-through rules, modelling and conversion definitions. Campaign decisions need those differences understood rather than assuming any single system is complete ground truth.
The paid social scope.
Audience, delivery and offer strategy
Define who the campaign needs to influence, the offer being made, the level of existing awareness and the appropriate platform controls, while allowing platform automation to be tested rather than assuming narrower targeting is always better.
Creative strategy and experimentation
Develop distinct concepts, hooks, formats and messages, then evaluate them against defined commercial and diagnostic metrics rather than repeatedly producing cosmetic variations of the same advertisement.
Campaign configuration and management
Configure objectives, budgets, placements, bidding and optimisation signals according to platform capability and campaign maturity, then adjust based on performance evidence.
Landing pages and lead capture
Use website journeys, platform lead forms or other appropriate conversion paths according to the offer and buying stage, with lead quality measured after submission where possible.
CRM and commercial feedback
Connect lead status, opportunity or sales outcomes where practical so campaign reporting distinguishes volume from genuinely valuable acquisition.
Measurement and consent review
Review pixels, tags, APIs, audience data and consent behaviour so measurement and targeting are interpreted within the privacy permissions and data actually available.
How campaigns run.
Define
Establish the commercial objective, audience context, offer, conversion definition and measurement requirements.
Measure
Validate website, platform and CRM conversion signals and review consent dependencies before optimisation.
Produce
Build a deliberate set of creative concepts and formats matched to platform behaviour and campaign objective.
Launch and learn
Run campaigns with appropriate delivery controls and evaluate creative, lead quality, costs and downstream outcomes.
Refine and reconcile
Adjust creative, offer, delivery and budget using platform evidence alongside analytics and CRM outcomes.
What you receive.
How success is measured
- Cost per qualified lead, sale or other defined acquisition
- Lead-to-opportunity or downstream sales rate where available
- Revenue, pipeline or attributed value relative to spend where reliable
- Creative performance by concept, format and message
- Platform versus CRM conversion reconciliation
- Incremental impact where an appropriate experimental method is available
- Audience and offer strategy
- Creative concepts and production
- Campaign build and configuration
- Landing page or lead form setup
- Creative testing schedule
- Reconciled performance reporting
Who this is for.
A strong fit
- Businesses with a genuinely compelling offer to promote
- B2B companies targeting defined roles and sectors on LinkedIn
- Consumer brands with visual products or clear transformation
- Companies that can produce or fund regular creative
Probably not the right fit
- Businesses relying on a single ad running indefinitely
- Complex, high-consideration purchases with no interim offer
How we evidence our work.
We have no published case studies for this service yet, and we will not invent them. This is the standard our work is held to instead.
Baseline before work begins
Visibility, traffic quality, conversion and enquiry volume are recorded before anything changes, so improvement is provable rather than asserted.
Documented method
Every change is logged with the reasoning behind it — you can always see what was done, when, and why.
Reporting against agreed measures
We report on the commercial measures set at the outset, including the ones that did not move.
Published only when verifiable
Client outcomes appear on this site only once they are real, measurable and approved by the client.
