B2B paid social that earns attention from real buyers

Paid social is where B2B brands get to interrupt the right people with something useful. It rewards strong creative and clear thinking about who you are talking to — not just a bigger budget.

Overview

Paid social as demand creation, not just targeting

For B2B, paid social works best when it is treated as demand creation rather than direct response. LinkedIn, Meta and similar platforms can reach precise job titles and companies, but only if the creative gives a scrolling professional a reason to stop. Weak creative with perfect targeting still produces nothing.

We build paid social around people, not just parameters. That means a clear point of view on the buyer's problem, creative concepts tested in deliberate rounds, and offers suited to cold audiences rather than the same demo request used everywhere.

It also means being honest about measurement. Social sits earlier in the journey, so we report on its role in creating and influencing pipeline, alongside the direct response it generates. We would rather show you a realistic contribution than a flattering last-click number.

What's included

What our paid social service covers

A paid social program built on creative you can be proud of and targeting you can explain.

Audience and targeting design

Role, company and interest targeting built around a clear hypothesis, not a kitchen-sink list.

Creative concepts and testing

Deliberate rounds of concepts and formats, each tested against a stated idea rather than changed at random.

Offer design for cold audiences

Value-first offers suited to people who have never heard of you, not just the standard booking form.

Retargeting and sequencing

Sensible sequences that follow attention with relevant proof instead of repeating the same ad.

Tracking and conversion setup

Pixels, events and CRM feedback so social's contribution can be traced rather than assumed.

Reporting that respects nuance

Direct response and assisted pipeline reported separately, with the assumptions made clear.

Our approach

How we deliver paid social

How we build a paid social program that improves instead of plateauing.

01

Define the audience and the idea

We agree who we are talking to and the single most useful thing we can say to them first.

02

Produce and test creative

We ship several concepts, learn which message resonates, and reinvest in the winners.

03

Sequence the journey

Cold attention is followed by relevant proof and a clear next step, without over-asking early.

04

Measure contribution honestly

We separate direct response from assisted pipeline and adjust spend to where social genuinely helps.

Measurement

How we measure paid social

Social is measured on attention earned and pipeline influenced, not impressions bought.

Because social reaches buyers early, straight last-click reporting understates it while over-claiming view-through overstates it. We report both, with the caveats stated, so budget decisions are made with the full picture.

  • Cost per qualified lead where direct response applies
  • Cost per engaged, in-target account
  • Creative performance by concept and format
  • Assisted conversions and influenced pipeline
  • Audience quality by role and company

Who it's for

Is our paid social service a fit?

We would rather turn down a poor fit than take budget we cannot turn into a result. This is the kind of team our work suits best.

  • Companies with a clear audience and a story worth telling
  • Brands building demand beyond search intent
  • Teams willing to invest in creative, not just targeting
