Paid Media
Paid media witha plan behind it.
Structured planning and management of search and social advertising, focused on relevant audiences, clear messages and decisions based on available campaign data.
Overview
Paid media can be scaled faster than almost any other activity. That makes structure, relevance and honest measurement essential, so budget is directed towards the activity most likely to support your objective.
Paid media planning
Every campaign starts with an objective, an audience and a realistic budget.
We begin by agreeing what the campaign is intended to achieve and how it will be judged. From there, we recommend the platforms, formats and budget allocation that best fit the objective, with clear reasoning for each choice.
Plans include assumptions and risks, such as the level of available search demand or the creative volume needed for social platforms, so expectations are realistic from the outset.
- Objective and success measures
- Platform and format selection
- Budget allocation and pacing
- Audience and targeting approach
- Creative requirements
- Testing priorities
Search advertising
Search advertising places your message in front of people who are actively looking for related products, services or information. Because intent is often high, relevance matters: the right keywords, a clear advert and a landing page that delivers on the promise.
Our approach focuses on tightly themed campaigns, careful keyword and match-type choices, regular search-term reviews and negative keyword management, designed to reduce spend on irrelevant searches.
What this typically includes
- Keyword research and grouping
- Responsive search advert copy
- Search term and negative keyword reviews
- Bid strategy recommendations
- Ad assets and extensions
- Landing page alignment
Campaign structure
A well-structured account is easier to understand, manage and improve. We organise campaigns around objectives, audiences and themes, with consistent naming conventions so anyone reviewing the account can see what each part is for.
Good structure also makes reporting more meaningful, because results can be compared like for like rather than buried in a mixed set of activity.
Clear naming
Consistent conventions across campaigns, ad sets and adverts.
Logical grouping
Activity grouped by objective, audience and theme.
Controlled tests
Changes introduced in a way that makes their effect visible.
Creative coordination
Media and creative work best when they are planned together. We define the creative formats, sizes and message variations each campaign needs, brief them clearly and schedule refreshes before performance starts to decline.
Where Marketivoq is also producing the creative, the media and creative plans are developed side by side. Where your own team or another partner produces it, we provide clear specifications and feedback based on available performance data.
Measurement & reporting
We check conversion tracking before launch and agree which actions count as meaningful outcomes. Reporting leads with those outcomes, then uses supporting metrics to explain what is happening and why.
Reports are written in plain English, with recommendations and next steps. We are open about the limits of platform data, including the effect of consent choices, ad blockers and differing attribution models, so decisions are based on a realistic view of performance.
How an engagement runs
From first conversation to ongoing improvement.
Every project is scoped individually. This is the typical shape of the work.
Step 1: Plan
Objectives, audiences, budgets and a measurement plan.
Step 2: Build
Account structure, tracking checks, adverts and landing pages.
Step 3: Launch
Careful launch with early checks on delivery and data.
Step 4: Optimise
Regular reviews, tests and transparent reporting.

Social advertising
Social advertising is well suited to introducing ideas to relevant people who may not be searching yet. Success depends heavily on creative: the first second of a video, the clarity of a headline and how natural an advert feels in the feed.
We plan audiences carefully, from broader prospecting to people who have already engaged, and pair them with creative designed for each placement. Frequency and creative fatigue are monitored so messages stay fresh.
