Home/Services/Paid Media

Paid campaigns measured against revenue, not impressions.

We run full-funnel paid media across Google, Meta, LinkedIn, and TikTok — with proper attribution behind every dollar of spend, and creative tested at the volume modern paid media demands.

// Targeting is commoditized. Creative and measurement are not.

Why this matters

Why most paid media programs underperform.

Paid media works when targeting, creative, landing pages, and tracking are aligned. Most agencies optimize one of those — usually targeting, sometimes bidding — and call it a program. The other three drift, ROAS plateaus, and the brand starts looking for the next agency.

We optimize all four together. Server-side tracking before budget scaling. Performance creative produced at the volume real testing demands (20-50+ variants per campaign). Landing pages tied to ad campaigns and tested for conversion. Multi-touch attribution that reflects how buyers actually convert.

And we report on revenue, not impressions. Every channel has to earn its budget against pipeline contribution and CAC payback — not against last-click ROAS, which most platforms over-report by 30-50%.

How we work

From audit to outcomes.

01

Pre-launch audit and tracking rebuild.

Before increasing budget, we audit the measurement layer. Server-side tracking, Conversion API, Enhanced Conversions, multi-touch attribution. Most clients have at least one broken pixel that's been miscounting for months.

02

Strategic campaign architecture.

Full-funnel campaign design: brand awareness at the top, demand capture in the middle, retargeting and conversion at the bottom. Each layer has different KPIs and different creative requirements. No more "one campaign type, all funnel."

03

Performance creative production.

Creative is the biggest performance lever in modern paid media. Static, motion, UGC, AI-augmented — produced at the volume needed for proper testing. 20-50+ variants per campaign, not 2-3 hero pieces.

04

Continuous structured testing.

Statistical-significance-based testing on creative, audiences, landing pages, and bid strategies. Winning variants get scaled; losing variants get killed. The cycle runs every 2-3 weeks.

05

Weekly optimization and monthly reviews.

Weekly cadence: creative refresh, bid adjustments, audience expansion, budget reallocation. Monthly: deep performance reviews against ROAS, CAC, and pipeline contribution targets.

FAQ

Questions we hear about Paid Media.

Most paid media engagements run as monthly retainers covering one or more channels. Retainers typically start at $15K/mo for single-channel work and scale up based on ad spend, creative volume, and complexity. We don't take percentage-of-spend deals because they incentivize the wrong behavior.
Spend scaling is constrained by creative volume and statistical significance, not by our team capacity. Most clients can scale 2-3x within 90 days if creative production scales with it. Faster than that and ROAS deteriorates because tests don't finish before decisions need to be made.
Both, ideally together. Creative is the biggest performance lever in modern paid media — separating creative from media buying produces the chronic creative fatigue that breaks ROAS. Most engagements include Performance Creative production as part of the program. We can also work with your existing creative team if they have capacity.
Revenue contribution, qualified pipeline (for B2B), CAC and CAC payback period, ROAS at the campaign level, and incremental lift over baseline. Not impressions, clicks, or platform-reported ROAS in isolation.
Used carefully. Performance Max and similar automated campaign types work for some objectives and badly for others. The risk is they hide diagnostic data and can over-fit to last-click conversions. We use them where they fit and avoid them where they hurt — never as a default.
