Most paid social agencies increase spend and hope the algorithm figures it out. It doesn't.

The tracking is broken. The pixel fires on the wrong events. The Conversions API isn’t deduplicated. The platform is optimising from bad data, finding bad audiences, and burning budget on sessions that never convert.

There had to be a different approach. That’s why we built our paid social methodology around three inputs: signal quality, audience quality, and creative quality. We fix the data the platform learns from. We build audiences from first-party data and platform signals, not guesswork. We test creative with structure and intent, not panic. We stabilise accounts before scaling them. We don’t rebuild for theatre. We don’t chase impressions. We drive qualified demand your sales team can actually use.

We run campaigns across Meta, TikTok and LinkedIn, where your audience is and where the commercial case makes sense, adapting the same framework to each platform’s strengths.

Paid social works alongside PPC, because your customers discover on social and research on Google. Landing pages get support from our CRO and UX team, and measurement is aligned across platform reporting and GA4.

You own everything: your ad accounts, data, and strategy docs. Zero red tape, nothing held hostage. We act like an extension of your team. No vague dashboards. Just clear, periodic insight into what’s working, what isn’t, and what’s next.

How we work

We stabilise first. We scale from proof. We don’t rebuild for theatre.

Onboard. A month-one sprint covering business discovery, account review, GA4 data triage, a commercial audit and a landing page review. We act on quick wins immediately.

Fix the signals. We audit your Meta Pixel, TikTok Pixel, Conversions API and GA4 alignment, so the platform learns from clean data.

Test and scale. Structured creative tests and audiences built from first-party data. We protect what’s working and increase spend behind what’s proven.

Report. A live dashboard of qualified leads, revenue and cost per acquisition, bi-weekly sprint calls, and a quarterly business review.

Qualified demand, not cheap impressions

At Salience, we build paid social campaigns that reflect reality. The one with rising CPMs, platform volatility, shrinking creative shelf life, and algorithms that punish bad data.

Most agencies chase reach, a shiny number that ignores whether anyone actually converted. It looks great in a report, even if your sales team is chasing junk leads. We don’t play that game.

Creative is the primary performance lever in paid social. Not the budget. Not the targeting. The creative. Every variant is tied to a hypothesis, so you stop guessing which ad works and start knowing why. Your budget reaches the people most likely to buy, not the people cheapest to reach.

We’ll be direct with you if the budget doesn’t support the outcomes you’re targeting. We’d rather tell you that upfront than take your money and deliver nothing.

Questions

Our pricing is bespoke to your needs. We will go through a pitch process where we take the time to understand your objectives and needs, and we’ll be able to present a clear breakdown of costs.

One thing is for sure, we aim for all our campaigns to wash their face in profitability.

We work with brands spending from around £1,000 per month on paid social upwards. The approach scales, but the commercial model works best when there’s enough budget to sustain structured testing and proper funnel coverage. We’ll be direct with you if the budget doesn’t support the outcomes you’re targeting. We’d rather tell you that upfront than take your money and deliver nothing.

It depends on what’s broken. If the issue is tracking, we’ve seen significant improvements within weeks of fixing signal quality, because the platform immediately starts optimising from better data. If the issue is creative or audience strategy, expect meaningful progress within 60 to 90 days as tests mature and the account stabilises. We don’t promise overnight results — the platforms themselves need learning time, and anyone telling you otherwise is selling something. We promise early clarity and a visible plan from day one. Budget matters here. Larger spends generate data faster, letting us optimise sooner. Smaller budgets need a longer runway to produce meaningful information.

Our onboarding sprint covers business discovery, full account review, GA4 data triage, commercial audit, conversion tracking audit, and landing page review. We identify quick wins and act on them immediately. By the end of month one, you have a clear picture of what’s broken, what’s been fixed, and what the forward plan looks like. Not a deck of recommendations you’ll never implement. A working account with visible improvements and a roadmap.

We manage paid social across Meta (Facebook and Instagram), TikTok, and LinkedIn. Our approach applies the same signal-audience-creative framework across all platforms, adapted to each platform’s strengths and audience behaviour. We don’t spread budget across every channel because we can. We run campaigns where your audience is and where the commercial case makes sense.

We build audience strategies using first-party data from your CRM and customer lists, platform signals like Meta’s Advantage+ and TikTok Custom Audiences, and behavioural inputs based on funnel stage and intent. We don’t rely on broad interest targeting that hasn’t been reviewed since 2022 or micro-segments so narrow the algorithm can’t learn. We start with what’s proven, test into new segments, and evolve the strategy as data accumulates.

Creative is treated as a performance lever, not a production task. We run structured testing programmes that isolate variables: hooks, formats, messaging, propositions, and calls to action. Every test is tied to a hypothesis and measured against clear outcomes. We don’t swap everything at once when performance dips, because that tells you nothing. We work with your in-house creative team, your existing assets, or our production partners to maintain a testing pipeline that produces learnings, not just more ads.

We align measurement across platform reporting, GA4, and your commercial data to give you a clear picture of what paid social is actually contributing to your business. We audit conversion tracking at the start of every engagement to ensure events, pixels, and Conversions API are correctly implemented and deduplicated. If your dashboard says one thing and your revenue says another, we find out why. We report on metrics that matter: qualified leads, revenue, ROAS, cost per acquisition, and pipeline contribution.

Minimal ongoing effort. We handle strategy, execution, reporting, and optimisation. We’ll need your input during discovery and onboarding, access to first-party data where relevant, and creative assets or production support. After that, bi-weekly sprint calls and monthly reviews keep everything aligned without turning paid social into a second job for your marketing team. The depth of your involvement depends on your preference. Some clients want granular creative performance breakdowns. Others prefer high-level dashboards showing demand trends and pipeline contribution. We adapt our communication to match. The best campaigns emerge from this partnership, your business acumen combined with our technical expertise.

Whether it’s Google Ads, Shopping, or Microsoft Advertising, we build PPC into your broader digital strategy alongside paid social. An omnipresent strategy isn’t optional anymore. Your customers discover products on social, research on Google, and make decisions across multiple touchpoints. We believe in being where your audience is, not just where it’s convenient to advertise. We manage some of the UK’s biggest paid media budgets across both paid social and paid search.

Yes. Driving the right traffic is only half the equation. CRO and UX are critical in building high-performing paid social campaigns. There’s no point pouring perfectly targeted traffic into an unoptimised landing page. Campaigns with brilliant targeting and compelling ads fall flat because the site experience couldn’t close the deal. It’s not just about more clicks; it’s about making every click count.
