Paid Social Marketing Strategy

Paid social strategy involves outlining clear objectives, identifying your target audience and determining the most effective platforms for your campaigns and business.

We start by understanding your brand, industry and marketing goals, and then carry out detailed audience research to best understand their behaviour, interests and preferences.

Equipped with this insight, we can select the right social media platforms that closely align with your audience and objectives. Our bespoke, comprehensive paid social media strategies include budget allocation, content creation, A/B testing and ad performance measurement plans to ensure your brand’s success.

Our paid social agency ad creation and optimisation service is designed to generate impactful and compelling ads tailored to each platform and goal.

By creating ads with eye-catching visuals and relatable, engaging copy, we can effectively convey your brand’s message and convert those clicks into sales. If you’re looking to use the same ads across multiple platforms, we can optimise them for each specific platform, meeting platform guidelines to achieve maximum reach and engagement.

But our work doesn’t stop after the ads are live.

We continuously monitor ad performance and make data-driven adjustments to improve their effectiveness. From tweaking ad copy to adjusting visual elements, we refine your ads for maximum impact and return on investment.

Influencer Collaborations

When you think about it, influencer collaboration posts act very much like ads – a business pays for content creation and space on an account or platform that is frequently accessed by the target audience to boost awareness and visibility.

By collaborating with influencers, your brand’s message is conveyed in an authentic and relatable way, fostering trust and driving engagement.

Our paid social agency services manage the entire process, from outreach to campaign execution and analysis – and we ensure every creator collaboration aligns with your marketing goals and budget. Our expert team of influencer marketers can help your brand tap into new audiences, enhance brand recognition, and ultimately drive higher conversions and return on investment.

Paid Social Agency - FAQs

What is paid social?

Paid social media involves the use of advertising services provided by social media platforms to promote content to targeted audiences.

In a paid social media strategy, businesses invest in different types of ads, such as boosted posts or display ads, which are shown to a selected group of users based on demographics like age, location, interests and behaviours that are selected by the business.

Paid social media campaigns can offer immediate results and a measurable return on investment, and can be a powerful tool in any marketing strategy. They allow businesses to extend their reach beyond their existing followings, targeting users who are most likely to be interested in their products or services.

How much do paid social ads cost?

The cost of paid social ads can differ depending on a number of factors – our team at Submerge can deliver a strategic assessment to help you get the best bang-for-buck when it comes to effective paid social spend.

Platform – Different social media platforms have different cost structures. For example, ads on LinkedIn might be more expensive than those on Facebook because of its professional audience.

Targeting – The more specific your targeting (ie, demographics, interests and behaviours), the more competitive it becomes, which can increase cost.
Ad type – Different ad formats like video and image can have different costs depending on the platform.
Time of year – Advertising costs can spike during competitive times, such as around Christmas or the summer holidays.
Bidding strategy – Costs can be impacted whether you choose cost per click (CPC), cost per thousand impressions (CPM) or another bidding method. The methods available will depend on the platform you use.
Ad quality – Platforms like Facebook give an ad quality score. Higher-quality ads can lead to lower costs.

We recommend setting a budget before engaging in paid social media strategies.
