In the infinite sea of online content, it’s tough to stand out — even if your product or service is leaps ahead of the competition. Paid social media is a strategic approach to throwing gas on the fire, helping get your brand in front of the ideal audience. At Captivate, our team understands how to utilize budgets to encourage meaningful audience growth and engagement.
The beauty of paid social campaigns is that they provide an opportunity to put your brand in front of an audience that’s the most likely to engage. Think of it as an automated drone delivering a cold glass of water to a person on a hot day, before they even realize they’re thirsty. Our data-driven processes help us give you the edge — to know when to strike, and how to do it effectively.
Do you take supplements in the morning? That’s how you should think about paid social advertising. It’s a way to increase the value of what you’re already doing. Through our dynamic social media marketing strategies, we can help grow your brand — but those results can be increased significantly by putting money behind them. Our team knows what magic levers to pull.
Paid retargeting is a vital key to a robust social marketing campaign. What this means is that, through targeted spends, your brand will market directly to those users who’ve already engaged — whether that’s visiting your website, following your socials, or interacting with your competitors. These users offer a massive opportunity for conversion due to their interests, so targeting them is how you can maximize your marketing results.
There’s a strong chance that you’re leaving potential business on the table and you don’t even realize it. Paid social allows you to analyze and discover strategies being deployed by your competitors, and understand how you can implement them into your marketing. This insight creates a fertile environment for innovation and growth, which we specialize in helping shepherd.
