Paid Media

Paid media that
spends with purpose

Fast, controllable demand without the waste. We map every campaign to your customer journey, track it properly, and scale what works across Google, Meta and TikTok.

Why it matters

Paid media is the quickest way to put your offer in front of the right people. But speed cuts both ways: a poorly structured account burns budget just as fast as a good one grows revenue. We build campaigns the same disciplined way every time — get the tracking right, structure the account around intent, put real thought into creative, then optimise and scale on the numbers. We're based in Cape Town and run paid media for businesses across South Africa. And because we obsess over message-match and landing-page experience, the click is never wasted on a page that doesn't follow through.

How it works

A repeatable system, not a gamble

PILLAR 01

Tracking & account structure

Everything starts with measurement. If you can't trust the numbers, you can't make good decisions — so we get tracking and structure right before scaling a cent.

  • Conversion tracking, including server-side and offline conversions where needed
  • Clean account and campaign architecture
  • Audience and conversion-event setup
  • A structure built to scale, not to be rebuilt later
PILLAR 02

Audience & targeting

The right message to the wrong person is wasted spend. We define who we're reaching and how, playing to each platform's strengths.

  • ICP and audience definition
  • First-party data and remarketing
  • Intent-based targeting on search
  • Interest, lookalike and broad targeting on social
PILLAR 03

Creative & copy

On Meta and TikTok especially, creative is the biggest lever you have. We brief and test creative and copy that earns attention and the click.

  • Ad copy and angle testing
  • Creative direction and briefs
  • Message-match between ad and landing page
  • Hooks built for each platform's feed
PILLAR 04

Optimisation & scaling

Launch is the start, not the finish. We optimise on the metrics that map to profit and scale deliberately, so performance holds as budget grows.

  • Bid, budget and audience optimisation
  • Improving Quality Score and ad relevance on search
  • Scaling winners without breaking performance
  • Clear reporting on spend, return and the next move
Channels we run

We run the full set of channels across the three platforms, and recommend the mix that fits your goals — never platform habit.

Google Ads

Search, Performance Max, Shopping, Display, Demand Gen and Video (YouTube) — matched to intent and profitability, not just clicks.

Meta Ads

Facebook and Instagram, including Advantage+ campaigns, with creative and audience strategy that scales without waste.

TikTok Ads

Native, attention-first campaigns for brands ready to reach a younger, fast-moving audience.

What you get

Numbers you can trust and act on

You get tracking you can rely on, spend mapped to the customer journey, and reporting that talks in the language that matters — return, cost per acquisition and what to do next. You keep ownership of your ad accounts, pixels and data throughout; we work inside them, and you're never locked out of your own assets.

FAQ

Common questions

How much should I budget for paid ads?

Enough to gather meaningful data and still buy results — the right number depends on your market, margins and goals. We'll model a sensible starting budget with you rather than pluck a figure out of the air.

Which platform is right for my business?

It depends on where your customers are and how they buy. Search captures existing demand; Meta and TikTok create it. We recommend a mix based on your goals, not on platform habit.

How soon will I see results?

Paid media can drive traffic immediately, but the first few weeks are about gathering data and finding what works. Stable, profitable performance usually follows once the account has learned.

Do you need access to my ad accounts?

Yes — and you keep ownership of your accounts, pixels and data. We work inside them with the access we need, and you're never locked out of your own assets.

Are you a Google or Meta partner?

We work across Google, Meta and TikTok daily, but we don't position ourselves on badges. We'd rather be judged on the results in your account.

Spending on ads but unsure it's working?
