Reach Your Customers
Where They Scroll
Your audience spends hours on social media every day. We build paid social campaigns that put your brand in front of the right people on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube, and TikTok, with targeting that turns ad spend into measurable business results.
Advertising Across Every Major Platform
Each social platform has different strengths, audience demographics, and ad formats. We help you choose the right channels and run campaigns tailored to how each platform works.
What Our Social Media Advertising Includes
We handle everything from strategy and creative to targeting and reporting. You get a complete paid social service, not just someone pressing buttons in Ads Manager.
Social Media Strategy
We build a paid social strategy around your business goals, whether that is lead generation, online sales, app installs, or brand awareness. Every campaign starts with clear objectives and measurable KPIs.
Ad Creative & Copywriting
We produce scroll-stopping ad creative, from static images and carousels to short-form video. Copy is written to speak directly to your audience and drive action, not just engagement.
Audience Targeting & Retargeting
We use first-party data, lookalike audiences, interest-based targeting, and pixel retargeting to reach the right people at the right stage of their buying journey. No wasted impressions.
Tracking, Reporting & Optimisation
We set up conversion tracking properly from day one using the Meta Pixel, LinkedIn Insight Tag, and platform-specific APIs. Monthly reports show exactly what your ad spend delivered.
Paid Social vs Organic Social
Organic social media has its place, but if you need predictable leads and sales, paid advertising is the faster and more scalable route. Here is how they compare.
| Aspect | Paid Social | Organic Social |
|---|---|---|
| Speed | Immediate visibility from the moment your campaign goes live. Results within days. | Takes weeks or months to build an audience and see consistent reach. |
| Targeting | Precise audience targeting by demographics, interests, job title, behaviour, and more. | Limited control over who sees your content. Reach depends on algorithms. |
| Reach | Scalable. Increase budget to reach more people predictably. | Organic reach on most platforms has declined significantly over the past five years. |
| Cost | Requires ongoing ad spend. Cost per result varies by platform and competition. | No direct cost per post, but requires consistent time and resource investment. |
| Measurability | Detailed attribution, conversion tracking, and ROI measurement. | Harder to attribute directly to revenue. Metrics are mostly engagement-based. |
| Best For | Driving leads, sales, and measurable business outcomes on a predictable timeline. | Brand building, community engagement, and long-term audience relationships. |
The strongest strategies combine both. Paid social drives immediate results while organic content builds long-term brand equity and audience trust.
Industries We Work With
Social media advertising works across sectors, but the approach differs. We adapt our strategy, creative, and targeting for each industry.

Lead generation campaigns for accountants, solicitors, consultants, and agencies. LinkedIn and Facebook ads that generate qualified enquiries, not just clicks.

Awareness and booking campaigns for restaurants, hotels, venues, and event organisers. Geo-targeted ads that reach people in and around Leicester and the East Midlands.
Health & Fitness
Member acquisition campaigns for gyms, personal trainers, clinics, and wellness brands. Compelling before-and-after creative with compliant copy for regulated industries.

Social Media Marketing in Leicester
Leicester is home to over 350,000 people and thousands of businesses competing for attention. Whether you are a local retailer on the High Street, a professional services firm in the city centre, or an e-commerce brand shipping across the UK, social media advertising gives you a direct line to the people who are most likely to buy from you.
As a Leicester-based agency, we understand the local market. We know which platforms and targeting approaches work for businesses in the East Midlands, and we combine that local insight with the same data-driven approach used by agencies managing six and seven-figure ad budgets nationally.
Every campaign we run is built around your commercial goals, not vanity metrics. We track cost per lead, cost per acquisition, and return on ad spend so you always know whether your investment is paying off.
Social Media Advertising FAQs
Which social media platform should I advertise on?
It depends on your audience and goals. Facebook and Instagram work well for most B2C businesses. LinkedIn is the strongest option for B2B. YouTube suits brands with video content. TikTok is growing fast for product discovery. We recommend the platforms where your customers already spend their time, and we often start with one or two before expanding.
How much should I spend on social media advertising?
There is no universal minimum, but most businesses see meaningful results starting from around 500 to 1,000 pounds per month in ad spend, plus management fees. The right budget depends on your industry, competition, and goals. We help you set a budget that balances reach with return on investment.
What is the difference between boosting posts and running proper ad campaigns?
Boosting a post gives you basic reach and engagement but limited targeting, no A/B testing, and poor tracking. Running campaigns through Ads Manager gives you full control over audience targeting, placements, bidding strategy, conversion tracking, and creative testing. We always run campaigns through the full ads platform for measurably better results.
How quickly will I see results from social media ads?
You can start seeing traffic and engagement within the first few days. However, it typically takes two to four weeks for campaigns to exit the learning phase and begin delivering stable results. We optimise continuously based on performance data throughout the first month and beyond.
Do you create the ad images and videos, or do I need to provide them?
We handle ad creative as part of our service. This includes static images, carousel designs, and short-form video editing. If you have existing brand assets, photography, or footage, we can work with those. If not, we produce everything you need to launch.
