What is Paid Social advertising?
Paid social advertising is a powerful digital marketing strand that involves placing paid for ads on social media platforms including Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Pinterest, LinkedIn, Twitter, and more.
Unlike organic posts – which rely on unpaid reach – paid social ads offer guaranteed exposure, are highly targeted, easily reported on and optimised – all in a highly controlled environment.
These ads can take various forms, including images, videos, carousels, and sponsored stories, tailored to capture the attention of your specific audience.
What Paid Social can do for your business

- Enhanced Reach and Visibility: by utilising paid social ads, you can extend your brand’s reach beyond your existing followers. Social media platforms have billions of users, and paid ads help you tap into this vast pool of potential customers.
