Our approach to Paid Social

Like most paid media, social is all about testing. Does the lead gen form fields need simplifying? Do bright colours make a difference on the creative? Is the audience at the right point in the funnel for the offer being presented to them? These are just some of the countless variables we consider when optimising your campaigns.

Available channels for B2B

Move beyond LinkedIn - Facebook & Instagram, Twitter (if you aren't too worried about Elon) Reddit - even TikTok - there's far more options available than you think.

Revealing your ICP

Are you getting a straight output from an Intent Platform? Maybe sales just create the list and send it over? We think audiences should be defined by 1st party data of buyers. Too often assumptions are made that lead to B2B companies targeting the same lists as every other company with an intent license.

Defining the perfect user journey

Each step needs to be optimised based on the value proposition at each stage. From removing content gates early on, to defining what 'sales ready' looks like we'll work with you to map your social campaigns to the correct audiences.

Ad copy that converts

Simple changes to the CTA, colour or ad size can make a big difference to conversions. We split test multiple variables to ensure creative is constantly improving and feedback reaches the design team (if we're not building the ads).

Constantly optimising campaigns

Once a campaign is live and you have a sufficient sample to enable tinkering then we'll keep optimising to get the best possible results.

Reporting made easy

We build dashboards for all our campaigns to ensure clients can easily understand what's working.

Case study

Couchbase - 'Paid social doesn't work for us'

Paid social doesn't work for us

Couchbase, a fast growing NoSQL database vendor had tried LinkedIn previously but direct to site activity wasn't driving the leads they needed so they stopped.

Channel and tactical expansion

We took over Paid Social ads management, running lead-gen forms on LinkedIn and shortly after introducing Meta, massively improving their Paid Social performance.

Highest revenue driver

Paid social became their top-performing channel (by meetings generated) and we then scaled activity globally with campaigns in 7 languages.

FAQs

We don't have all the answers, but here are some common questions we encounter.

Does Facebook (Meta) work for B2B?

Yes, and you don't need fancy-data enriching tools to make it work either.

Do I have to spend over £50,000 a quarter on media to get results?

You don't need to break the bank to get your product or service in front of the the right people with the right intent. You need to be prepared to spend money to learn what works and what doesn't, but we can help you with strategies that minimise short-term risk and maximise results.

What is your fee structure?

Unlike larger agencies we're pretty flexible and transparent when it comes to fees. Depending on what makes more sense for you can we can charge per campaign, per month, or on a percentage of media spend.

Do you just activate UK campaigns?

We're a UK company but we work with international clients. Speak to us if you need to launch activity in NA, LATAM, APAC and EMEA. We have local language talent that can localise campaigns for most markets.

We already have an agency, is that an obstacle?

We believe every agency has their own specialities and should respect others'. If you think there's a gap in your roster, talk to us and we'll be pretty honest if we think it make sense for you to work with us.

Do you only run lead generation campaigns?

B2B performance marketing is no longer just about acquiring emails at scale. Today's buyer journeys are more evolved than just lead gen forms and whitepaper downloads passed to sales, and we can help you capatalise on changing trends.

Do you offer creative and copywriting support?

If you don't have in-house creative or copywriting resource, as part of our service we help you version cross-channel copy and creative, tailored to all paid channels.

I don't have any content, can you still help me?

Absolutely! Check out our Demand Generation services if your inventory is looking thin. We can help you identify key themes, topics, titles and a full inventory of GTM assets.

Do you help companies that have never run paid campaigns before?

If your organisation has activate on paid social or even created its ad accounts (if it's Meta, we don't blame you), we can quickly set you up from scratch with access, tags, billing and pixels and platform integrations, and help you understand the pros and cons of each channel for your business.
