03 — Paid Media

Paid media that captures demand and creates growth.

Plan, activate and optimise campaigns around business outcomes across Google, Meta, Instagram, TikTok and LinkedIn — with the creative, landing experience and measurement needed to make the spend accountable.

Channel strategy first. Set-up second.

Anyone can set up an ad account. The value is in deciding which platforms deserve investment, what each one is for, and how they work together.

How channels complement each other

Search captures demand. Social and programmatic create it.

Search

Reaches people already looking. Usually the most direct path to enquiries and sales.

Social

Builds attention and consideration in the feeds people use every day, with strong audience targeting.

Programmatic

Extends reach beyond walled gardens — display, video, CTV and audio across the open internet.

See Programmatic Media for open-internet activation.

FAQ

Common questions.

Which platforms do you run?

Google Ads (search, Performance Max and YouTube), Meta and Instagram, TikTok and LinkedIn. The mix is chosen for the objective, audience and buying cycle.

How is paid media different from programmatic?

Paid media here means the major walled-garden platforms. Programmatic extends reach across the wider open internet — display, video, CTV, audio and native. We often plan both together.

Is media spend included in your fees?

No. Media spend and platform fees are separate from our fees and are usually paid directly by the client.

Do you handle creative and landing pages?

Yes, where needed. Creative, landing experience and measurement all affect media performance, so we plan them together.
