Looking for maximum brand awareness?
Social networks offer the opportunity to reach a large percentage of the world’s population, so if brand awareness is your key objective, then utilising these platforms as part of your marketing is a must.
Depending on your business, we will advise on the best placements for your adverts across the likes of Facebook and Tik Tok, with a focus on reaching as many people as possible within your target audience, for the cheapest cost per view/interaction possible. Depending on performance, we’ll then move the budget around and test different platforms and audience segments.
Want to target a very specific demographic?
Let’s say you want to target people with certain job titles, or users aged 30+ with an interest in hiking, or simply people located in a 20 mile radius around your shop. What options are available for more targeted social advertising? Well, the answer is a lot!
Each platform has its own USP and we’ll guide you through our recommended strategy to help build your sales funnel. From LinkedIn to Instagram, we can create a highly targeted social campaign which gets you in front of your core audience straight away.
Unsure how to track the impact of your paid social activity?
Using a combination of native social platform and third party analytics, we can show you what users do from advert click right through to sale/lead generation.
But what about if your core objective is brand awareness? How do you measure the impact of someone seeing an advert but not clicking on it? There are a number of creative ways to see how social activity affects users across the purchase funnel, including segmenting activity by demographics, or benchmarking the number of searches for your brand before and after a campaign. There are naturally limitations, as with any form of awareness activity, but we have a lot of experience in proving the worth of social campaigns for our clients.
Want to improve the interaction rate of your creatives?
Keeping your adverts fresh and appealing is a necessity of any social campaign. And the more targeted/granular you go with your audience, the more frequently you’ll need to change things up. A/B testing is the key, as well as not making assumptions when it comes to what worked in the past. There are a lot of factors involved in whether someone clicks on your advert, including placement, timing and targeting. Segmenting them for testing is the best way to continuously improve performance.
Unsure whether social ads are a good fit for your business?
Some brands are a no-brainer for social advertising, whereas others need more careful consideration. Really, it comes down to two things:
- Can your audience be targeted on a given social network
- Will your audience respond well to being targeted on a social network
There are more options within B2C, naturally, but B2B isn’t just restricted to LinkedIn either. Retargeting is also possible across most social platforms regardless of your industry.
The more personalised your advertising, the harder you need to consider the reaction of the audience. A law firm would need to keep adverts fairly broad, whereas a B2C retailer could retarget users with the exact products they looked at. Whatever your specific needs, we can help advise you on an appropriate strategy.

Frequently asked questions about paid media
What does a paid media agency do?
A specialist paid media agency like Distinctly will manage your advertising campaigns from conception to fruition. We will optimise towards your key objectives, and ensure you stay on budget and on brand.
What’s the minimum monthly budget Distinctly work with?

How do you measure success?
Our goals are ultimately led by you. Whether you’re looking to increase revenue, or improve lead generation, we work closely with your business to determine what you want to achieve and the best way for us to do it sustainably.
What does paid media involve?
Paid media covers multiple platforms such as Google Ads, Meta, Amazon, and Microsoft. The platforms you utilise will depend on who your target audience is and what your business goals are. We can provide guidance on which will serve you best if you’re unsure where to begin, or if you already have an idea, we can help strategise an effective approach.
What’s the difference between the media spend and the agency fee?
Your media spend is the budget you allocate towards advertising exposure. This budget is paid directly to the platform you’re advertising on, in most cases, when someone clicks your ad.
The agency fee is the cost of our agreed services, and is paid directly to us.
