    Research and audit

    Every successful paid media campaign starts with insights. We see research and auditing as essential steps in achieving measurable results. Before building new plans, we dig deep into your past and current campaigns to understand what’s working, what isn’t and where the opportunities lie.

    This process gives us a clear view of your target audiences, brand positioning and marketing objectives. With that knowledge, we’re able to design a customized paid media strategy that is both data-driven and tailored to your business needs, ensuring every media pound is invested with purpose.

    Analyzing further

    Our process doesn’t stop at research — we go deeper. By auditing your past campaigns in detail, we identify what has worked well, highlight areas that need improvement and provide clear recommendations for stronger performance.

    This deeper analysis also helps us understand your competitive landscape and the trends shaping your industry. That insight allows us to design campaigns that not only outperform your past activity but also stand out from your competitors.

    Armed with this intelligence, our paid media services team builds customized advertising strategies that align with your goals, resonate with your target audience and deliver measurable business results.

    How we report

    Frequency of reports

    Depending on the project and scope, we provide dashboards, weekly updates and in-depth monthly reports to ensure you always have a clear view of campaign performance.

    Transparency

    Every report is designed to foster collaboration and transparency, highlighting successes, flagging challenges and outlining the actions we’re taking to optimize results.

    Visualizations

    We use clear, data-rich visualizations to make complex information easy to understand, showing how your investment in paid media services is driving awareness, engagement, and conversions.

    Ongoing optimizations

    Our experienced paid media team continuously delivers data-driven recommendations aligned with your business goals, ensuring campaigns evolve with market shifts and audience behavior. By analyzing performance patterns and historic data, we can pinpoint what truly drives results and reallocate budgets where they will have the greatest impact.

    This proactive approach means you’re never standing still – campaigns are refined week by week to sharpen targeting, enhance creative, and improve ROI. As your trusted paid media agency, we act as both analysts and advisors, giving you clear recommendations and the confidence that your campaigns are always running at peak performance.

    Using emerging channels

    As a paid media agency, we are always looking for ways to keep clients ahead of the curve. Our team has embraced emerging platforms such as in-scene content integrations, test & learn across platforms like Twitch and GitHub. And of course, everyone’s favorite: Tiktok, which now attracts millions of daily users and offers powerful opportunities for brand storytelling.

    Many businesses still focus heavily on established channels, but by diversifying with paid media services across these platforms, we help brands unlock untapped audiences and strengthen their media mix. Whether it is live-stream activations on Twitch or high-impact video campaigns on TikTok, our approach ensures authenticity, reach and measurable performance.

    As a media agency that US companies trust, we blend creativity and data to help you seize early-mover advantage where others hesitate.

Explore emerging channels

As a forward-thinking paid media company, we believe that trying new platforms is essential to staying ahead of the curve. While Google, Meta and LinkedIn remain vital, real growth often comes from embracing channels your competitors are slower to test.

For example, Twitch offers unmatched engagement for gaming and esports audiences, while TikTok continues to dominate younger demographics with short-form video. Pinterest is powerful for retail and lifestyle brands looking to influence intent-driven shoppers, while Snapchat opens up unique opportunities for geo-targeted campaigns. Spotify and digital audio advertising provide immersive storytelling formats, and programmatic Connected TV (CTV) enables precise targeting across streaming platforms, and Digital Out of Home (DOOH) brings programmatic targeting to physical screens in transport hubs, retail spaces, and city centers. And that’s just covering media platforms around the content everyone’s paying so much attention to. We also employ strategies within content, testing out in-scene virtual brand and product integrations to see how we’re able to find and impact audiences in new ways. 

By blending these emerging channels with tried-and-tested platforms, we ensure your paid media strategy is future-ready, diverse, and capable of reaching new market segments that may otherwise remain untapped.

Paid Media FAQs

  • How does your paid media agency manage larger budget campaigns?

    When managing larger budgets, our paid media agency starts with detailed audience research, advanced data modelling and media mix planning. This ensures every dollar is allocated to the right channels, balancing brand visibility with measurable ROI. We also set clear KPIs from the start, so success is tracked transparently across every stage of the campaign lifecycle.

  • What sets your media agency apart when handling significant ad spend?

    We combine strategy, creativity and analytics to ensure big-budget campaigns are efficient and effective. Our team integrates both brand performance (what we like to call “brandformance”) into one cohesive plan. This means your campaign not only scales but also adapts in real time to changing audience behaviors, giving you an advantage over competitors who rely on one or two platforms alone.

  • Can you integrate large paid media campaigns with wider marketing strategies?

    Yes. We make sure larger paid media campaigns work seamlessly alongside SEO, organic social, PR and creative execution. By aligning all activity under one strategy, we help brands amplify results and ensure messaging is consistent across every audience touchpoint. This joined-up approach is particularly powerful for businesses managing multiple product lines or global markets.

  • How do you ensure transparency in larger paid media campaigns?

    We provide dashboards and reports that clearly show where spend is going and the impact it’s delivering. Our reports highlight both performance and recommendations, giving decision-makers the clarity needed to allocate bigger budgets confidently. For campaigns with multi-million-pound spends, transparency isn’t optional — it’s essential for governance and long-term trust.

  • How do you allocate spend across multiple platforms for high-value campaigns?

    Our paid media specialists use forecasting tools and attribution modeling to split larger budgets across relevant channels. Budgets are constantly re-optimized to double down on what’s performing. With big campaigns, the balance between brand-building channels and direct-response activity is critical, so we plan spend dynamically to serve both short-term and long-term goals.

  • How do you approach testing and optimization with bigger ad budgets?

    With more budget, we can run larger-scale incrementally testing, A/B and multivariate tests to quickly validate what works. This means refining creative, messaging and targeting faster than smaller campaigns allow. By using this budget flexibility, we avoid wasted spend and make sure campaigns stay fresh and competitive in crowded markets. Testing at scale often reveals insights that can be applied across your wider marketing mix.

  • Do you offer international paid media services for global campaigns?

    Yes. Our media agency team runs campaigns that scale across multiple markets, tailoring messaging and targeting for regional relevance and nuance. Larger budget campaigns often cover several regions, and our team works with in-market specialists to adapt creative, keywords and formats to maximize impact. This ensures consistency at the brand level but agility at the local level.

  • How do you stay ahead of new channels when managing significant ad spend?

    We regularly test emerging platforms for clients with bigger budgets. This allows brands to tap into new audiences and avoid over-reliance on legacy channels like search and social. By dedicating a portion of larger budgets to experimentation, we ensure your campaigns remain future-proof and stay ahead of shifting consumer behaviors.

  • What kind of reporting can larger budget clients expect?

    For high-spend campaigns, we provide detailed performance reporting alongside actionable recommendations. Reports cover campaign efficiency, budget utilization and future opportunities to expand. For larger budgets, we also provide regular strategic reviews so that marketing directors and senior stakeholders can see not just the results, but also how to scale campaigns further and sustain growth.

  • How quickly can your paid media company launch a larger campaign?

    Depending on complexity, we can launch in weeks while ensuring the strategic groundwork is robust. For larger budgets, we dedicate more time upfront to creative development, audience research and compliance, ensuring campaigns land with maximum impact. This upfront rigor means your campaign is optimized for success from day one, rather than relying on adjustments after launch.
