Paid Social Advertising

How I manage Paid Social campaigns

As a digital freelancer my approach to managing campaigns is rooted in a comprehensive understanding of my clients’ goals and target audiences. I begin by conducting thorough research and analysis to identify the most effective platforms and targeting strategies for reaching their intended audience.

Once I have established a clear plan, I help design compelling ad creatives that align with their brand messaging and utilise proven best practices to optimise ad performance. Throughout the campaign, I monitor key metrics and adjust my strategy accordingly to ensure maximum ROI and a positive impact on their bottom line.

In addition to my technical expertise, I also prioritise open communication and collaboration with my clients, keeping them informed and involved every step of the way. By combining my knowledge and experience with a client-centric approach, I am able to consistently deliver successful paid social campaigns that exceed expectations.

Define your target audience

Before you can start running your ads, you need to know who you’re trying to reach. This means identifying your target audience based on factors like demographics, interests, and behaviours.

Choose the right platform(s)

Once you know who you want to target, you can determine which social media platforms are most likely to reach them. This might include popular platforms like Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, or Twitter.
