Paid Social Ads on Meta, TikTok and Reddit

We run paid campaigns on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and Reddit for startups that want customers, not just likes. The focus is on targeting, testing and tracking that ties spend to leads and sales.

Paid social works when the offer and the audience fit

Social platforms are good at showing ads to people who did not know they needed you yet. That makes them useful for launching new products, reaching consumers and retargeting people who visited your site. The catch is that results depend heavily on the creative and the offer, so testing matters more here than on search.

We handle the campaign side: audiences, structure, budgets, testing and tracking. For creative, you either provide finished ads or at least the images and video, and we write the copy. If you want us to produce creative too, we can talk about it before we start, so the scope is clear from day one.

What is included

Meta Ads

Facebook and Instagram campaigns for lead generation, ecommerce sales and retargeting.

TikTok Ads

Campaigns for brands whose buyers spend time on TikTok, usually consumer products and younger audiences.

Reddit Ads

Targeting by community and interest, which can work well for technical and niche products.

Audience testing

Structured tests of audiences and offers so budget moves to what works.

Pixel and tracking

Meta Pixel, Conversions API and platform tags set up so the algorithms get good signals.

Ad copy

We write the copy and work with the images or video you provide.

How it usually goes

01

Pick the platform

We choose the one or two platforms where your buyers actually spend time.

02

Set up tracking

Pixels and conversion events go in before any money is spent.

03

Test

We launch a small set of audiences and offers and let the data decide.

04

Scale

Budget moves to the winning combinations, and we refresh creative as it fatigues.

Questions about Paid Social Ads

Usually the client provides creative, or at least the images. If you want us to handle creative, we will scope it before we start working together.

No. We only run paid campaigns. We are happy to refer you to people who handle organic social media.

It depends on where your buyers are. For most consumer products we start with Meta. For niche or technical audiences, Reddit can be worth testing.

By leads, sales and cost per result, tracked through the platform pixels and GA4. Likes and followers are not the goal.
