Meta ads agency · Facebook & Instagram ads management
Turn scrolling into sales & leads
Your customers are on Facebook and Instagram right now, they just haven't searched for you yet. Meta ads put your brand in front of the exact people who'd buy, before they've thought to look. Full-funnel campaigns, measured in customers, run by specialists you actually speak to.
What Meta ads look like when they actually work
Feeds are full of wasted ad spend. Here's what happens when campaigns, creative and tracking are actually built properly.
The Sunshine Co
Premium tanning studios across the South East, selling courses and products to people scrolling at 9pm. Creative, audiences and offers built around each studio's own catchment, then scaled on what converted.
Lick Library
One of the world's biggest online guitar learning platforms, growing memberships worldwide. Paid social built to find players ready to commit, and creative that keeps them subscribed once they do.
What we'll get you, and how
Forget the jargon for a second: here's what Meta ads actually do for a business, outcome by outcome, and the campaign type behind each. We'll tell you honestly which fit yours and which don't.
Stop the scroll, start the sale
Your customers are on Instagram and Facebook daily, whether you advertise or not. We make creative that earns its place in the feed: native, thumb-stopping and pointed at a result, not just reach.
Reach the people who'd buy, before they search
Meta's superpower is finding your next customers before they're looking. We build audiences from your real customer data, lookalikes, layered interests and sensible exclusions, so budget lands on likely buyers, not everyone with a pulse.
Turn "saw it" into "bought it"
Most people don't buy the first time they see you. Retargeting follows up automatically: the product they viewed, the offer that tips them, shown to warm visitors at a fraction of cold-traffic cost.
Your catalogue, selling on autopilot
For ecommerce, Meta's AI matches each product in your catalogue to the person most likely to buy it. Set up and fed properly, it's one of the highest-returning campaign types on the platform; neglected, it quietly burns budget. Ours is the fed-properly kind.
Enquiries without the landing page
Instant forms open inside Facebook and Instagram with details pre-filled, so interested people become leads in seconds. We build the forms, the qualifying questions and the follow-up flow, so leads arrive warm and get contacted fast.
Ads that earn their budget every week
On Meta, creative is the targeting: the ad itself decides who responds. We test new angles, hooks and formats every week, kill the losers early and scale the winners, so performance climbs instead of fatiguing.
Know exactly what your money makes you
The iOS updates broke lazy tracking, not proper tracking. We pair the pixel with the Conversions API so every enquiry, call and purchase is measured, and your monthly report talks revenue, not reach.
What you get, and how we work
We're good at one thing here: turning attention into customers. Here's what proper Meta management looks like next to what most businesses have experienced.
How we manage your Meta ads
Meta rewards accounts that are worked, not watched. Here's what active management looks like, step by step.
Audit and discovery
We start by understanding your business, your goals and your current position, before a penny gets spent.
- Existing campaigns audited thoroughly before we touch anything
- Market, audience and competitor-ad research for fresh starts
- Honest advice on whether your budget fits your goals
- Quick wins identified and flagged from day one
Strategy and setup
A campaign structure built around your goals, not around what's easiest to manage.
- Every campaign, audience and creative angle chosen with a commercial purpose
- Conversion tracking set up properly, so every click, call and sale counts
- Landing pages reviewed, because clicks mean nothing without conversions
- You see and approve the strategy before we spend anything
Careful launch
Campaigns go live under close watch, with adjustments made as the data comes in.
- Close monitoring through the critical early days
- Google's learning phase managed so it doesn't drain your budget
- Early signals acted on fast, good and bad
- Clear communication about what's happening and why
Ongoing optimisation
This is where most agencies go quiet, and where we do our best work, week after week.
- Weekly creative rotation and audience management
- Daily budget control and bid management
- Continuous A/B testing of ad copy and landing pages
- Cost per acquisition pushed in the right direction, month on month
Reporting and reviews
Every month, a clear report that connects your ad spend directly to business outcomes.
- Revenue, ROAS and cost per conversion, in plain English
- What we did, what it changed and what's next
- Regular consultancy calls with the person managing your account
- A live marketing dashboard you can check any time
Transparent plans, priced in the open
Most agencies make you sit through three calls to hear a number. Ours are published: find your ad budget, see your plan.
All prices exclude VAT · Pricing correct as of July 2026 · Ad spend is paid to Meta directly and is separate from management fees

Guessing is expensive. Before you commit to anything, we'll research your audience, your market and your competitors' ads, then forecast what your budget could realistically deliver on Facebook and Instagram. You get an honest plan you can hold us to, including being told straight if Meta isn't your best channel right now.
- Your audience sized and your market's costs researched
- What your competitors are running, and where they're weak
- A realistic forecast of results from your budget
- No cost, no obligation, no hard sell

A few honest reasons clients choose us, and stay with us.
You speak to the person running your ads
No account managers relaying messages from someone you've never met. Your dedicated specialist builds the campaigns, makes the creative calls and answers your questions directly.
Creative treated like it decides everything
Because on Meta, it does. New angles, hooks and formats tested every week, losers killed early, winners scaled, so your results climb instead of fatiguing.
Full-funnel, not just boosted posts
Cold audiences warmed, warm audiences converted, customers brought back. Every layer built properly in Ads Manager with tracking that survives iOS.
The whole system, in-house
We build the landing pages your ads send people to, run the Google side beside the Meta side, and own the result across all of it. No finger-pointing between suppliers.
