Media buying
Campaign management with the work shown
Strategy, build, creative direction, daily optimisation, testing, tracking and reporting — run by a named buyer on accounts you own and can see.
Our commitment
You own the accounts
Access is granted to us, never taken from you.
No performance guarantees
We commit to process and effort, not to invented numbers.
Written change log
Every optimisation is recorded and readable.
Scope
Eight disciplines in every media buying engagement
Whether you run one platform or seven, the same eight workstreams apply. Depth scales with budget; the process does not change.
Campaign strategy
Objective, funnel stage, channel mix, budget split and measurement plan agreed before a single ad is built.
- Channel mix rationale
- Budget allocation model
- Measurement plan
Campaign setup & structure
Naming conventions, campaign hierarchy, audience and keyword architecture, exclusions and budget caps built for clean reads.
- Consistent taxonomy
- Audience architecture
- Exclusions & caps
Creative direction
Concepts, hooks, angles and specifications your designers can execute — or we produce the assets with you.
- Hook & angle library
- Format specifications
- Iteration schedule
Daily optimisation
Bid and budget management, placement pruning, audience refresh and pacing checks on a documented daily cadence.
- Bid & budget management
- Placement pruning
- Pacing checks
A/B testing
One variable at a time, with a stated hypothesis, sample expectation and a written conclusion — not endless untracked variants.
- Hypothesis logged
- Single-variable tests
- Documented outcomes
Conversion tracking
Pixel, server-side and postback setup, event deduplication and validation so reported conversions match your own numbers.
- Pixel & server-side events
- Postback setup
- Validation against your data
Scaling
Controlled budget expansion, geographic and audience widening, and duplication strategies that do not destabilise learning.
- Stepped budget increases
- Geo & audience expansion
- Stability monitoring
Reporting
A fixed weekly and monthly pack with spend, results, cost per outcome, what changed and what happens next.
- Weekly summary
- Monthly deep-dive
- Next-step recommendations
