How our social advertising services help grow your B2B company

We help grow your business with paid social by amplifying your brand visibility and awareness to a wider audience and positioning you as an expert in your field.

As part of your wider digital strategy, B2B paid social advertising is a powerful tool that helps to build your business profile and generate leads. Using paid social media ads to educate rather than sell, we shine the light on your business, helping you to build strong experience, expertise, authority and trust (EEAT) signals that also benefit your organic search strategy.

With a well planned content schedule, social ads help turn strangers into leads, feeding your pipeline with opportunities to guide decision makers along their buying journey. B2B paid social can also support organic social media strategies and wider marketing efforts, bringing everything in-line to create cohesion across your digital marketing.

And social advertising comes into its own when used alongside your Account Based Marketing (ABM) campaigns, with the ability to target specific companies and professional demographics. 

Linking reach to results, we help you bridge the gap between marketing and sales, using platform intelligence to highlight lead opportunities and interested organisations.

What is paid social advertising?

Social advertising utilises social media platforms like LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and TikTok to promote products, services or content. We create targeted campaigns based on your user demographics, interests and behaviours, aiming to reach specific audiences. These ads blend seamlessly into users’ feeds, appearing as sponsored content. 

Social advertising encompasses various ad formats, including image ads, video ads, carousel ads and sponsored posts. Paid social enables precise audience targeting, allowing you to engage with your potential customers in a more personalised manner. 

With robust analytics and targeting options, social advertising facilitates measuring campaign performance and optimising strategies to achieve specific marketing goals, such as brand awareness, lead generation or sales.

We provide specialist skills for advertising on social channels, as opposed to social media posting or general messaging. We provide expertise on advertising opportunities on all major platforms, including LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Twitter, Pinterest, WhatsApp, Snapchat and TikTok.

We take the time to understand your business, advising on the best social media platforms for you to utilise. From there, we create a bespoke paid social media strategy that will boost brand awareness, attract the right customers and generate leads for your business.

Step 1

Data-led research

The large amount of data users share on their social accounts enables us to go beyond traditional demographic and geographic data. We target campaigns based on a range of deeper level metrics for greater results.

When embarking on a paid social campaign, we start with a website audit to ensure your site content and user experience is set up to achieve the campaign goals. With the wealth of data available on social media platforms, the opportunity for extreme targeting is immense. By asking the right questions, utilising Google Analytics and your existing customer data, we build a clear picture of your target audience.

We detail the actions required to structure the advertising account and campaigns on platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and LinkedIn.

At the end of the process, our social advertising strategy and schedule will clearly show the key deliverables and actions. We commit to a schedule of when the work will be carried out, providing you with complete transparency.

To ensure you have maximum visibility and to check we are meeting our performance goals, we provide a monthly report detailing our activity, results and next steps.
