What Are Paid Social Ads and Why Should You Use Them?

Paid social ads put your brand directly in front of your ideal customers on platforms like Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and LinkedIn.

Unlike organic posts, paid campaigns are highly targeted, letting you reach specific audiences based on interests, behaviours, demographics, and more.
Done right, they don’t just drive clicks, they drive sales, leads, and measurable growth.

Paid Social and Google Ads work best when used together. While Google Ads captures active demand - people already searching for your product or service, Paid Social creates new demand by reaching audiences who may not know you yet.

With Paid Social, you can:

  • Build awareness and visibility with highly targeted audiences.

  • Retarget engaged users who didn’t convert the first time.

  • Create interest that drives more branded searches on Google.

When combined, Google Ads and Paid Social form a powerful performance marketing strategy: Paid Social fills the funnel with fresh prospects, while Google Ads converts that demand into measurable sales and leads.

Our Paid Social Services Include:

Platform Strategy - Tailored approach for each platform your audience uses.

Creative Development - Ad copy, visuals, and video designed to convert.
