Social Ads (SMA)
Advertising on Meta, LinkedIn and TikTok (Social Ads): creating demand and generating B2B leads at scale, with fine targeting by role and industry.
Capture demand, or generate it?
Not all acquisition levers do the same job. Some go and find customers who don’t know you yet, others harvest those already looking for you, others convert and measure. Social Ads (SMA) is first and foremost a lever to generate demand.
Generate demand
Create interest where it doesn't exist yet: you go and find the customer.
Capture demand
Harvest the intent already searching: the customer looks for you.
Convert and measure
Turn traffic into customers, and steer by data.
What I run in Social Ads
Social Ads reach audiences where they spend their time, on Meta, LinkedIn or YouTube. Unlike SEA, which captures demand already expressed, social also lets you create demand among people who have the problem without searching for a solution yet. I scope the audiences and budget, then orchestrate paid experts and creatives from my network.
A full-funnel logic
An effective campaign is organised by audience maturity level:
- Top of funnel (awareness): videos, educational content, thought leadership to spark interest.
- Middle of funnel (consideration): case studies, demos, comparisons to raise maturity.
- Bottom of funnel (conversion): retargeting and decision-oriented messages to convert.
Targeting right
Targeting precision makes the difference, especially in B2B. Depending on the context, we activate fine targeting (executives, key functions) and, for strategic accounts, an ABM approach (marketing focused on specific accounts, coordinated across ads, content and the sales team).
Creative, the engine of performance
On social, it's the creative that drives performance. The challenge is to produce fast, test a lot and cut without hesitation what doesn't work. That's where AI changes the game: it helps generate and iterate messages, visuals and angles by audience and by performance. You no longer optimise campaigns one by one, you train a creative system that improves continuously.
Measurement and synergies
Everything is steered on real indicators: cost per lead, qualification rate, cost per SQL. Social combines with SEA: messages validated in paid search are amplified on social, and audiences cross over for remarketing.
It's for you if…
It's for you if you want to create demand among audiences that aren't searching for your solution yet, or to establish your brand as a reference. It's also for you if your social campaigns are plateauing and you want to speed up the pace of testing without blowing up costs. You're looking for a setup that combines fast impact and brand building.
I never treat Social Ads (SMA) as an isolated channel. I run it within your go-to-market strategy: we look at how it connects with your message, your targets and your other levers, so it truly serves your growth and not a vanity metric.
We start from your context and priorities, define what will have the most impact, and put in place what's needed. Everything stays consistent with your overall sales strategy, because that's what counts.
A typical engagement
- Diagnosis. I audit what exists (your data, what already works, the competition) and connect Social Ads (SMA) to your go-to-market, not to an isolated metric.
- Prioritisation. We pick the two or three highest-impact actions, not a list of forty tasks that will never be finished.
- Setup. We deploy concretely: structure, content or campaigns, clean conversion tracking, and we test fast to learn.
- Steering and handover. We read the right indicators, adjust, and I make you autonomous. Or I steer over time, whichever suits you.
