Freelance Paid Social Consultant

Drive profitable leads and sales from effective paid advertising campaigns

A Data-Driven Approach to Paid Social

Paid social media advertising is a powerful way to connect with your audience, build brand awareness, and drive conversions. As a Freelance Paid Social Ads Consultant, I specialise in creating tailored, results-driven campaigns across platforms like Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and TikTok to help businesses achieve measurable growth.

As a Paid Social Ads Expert, I focus on crafting engaging ad campaigns that resonate with your target audience and deliver a strong return on investment (ROI).

  • Custom Campaign Strategy: I develop bespoke strategies that align with your business goals, whether you’re looking to increase sales, generate leads, or grow your audience. I determine the best platforms, ad formats, and targeting options to achieve maximum results.
  • Audience Targeting: Using advanced targeting tools, I ensure your ads reach the right audience based on demographics, interests, behaviours, and location. I also create custom and lookalike audiences to engage users who are most likely to convert.
  • Ad Creative Development: I design visually appealing and engaging ads, including videos, carousel ads, and single-image ads, paired with compelling copy that grabs attention and drives action.
  • Campaign Management & Optimisation: I handle every aspect of your paid social campaigns, from setup to daily monitoring and optimisation. By analysing metrics like click-through rates (CTR), cost-per-click (CPC), and conversion rates, I ensure continuous improvement and better performance.
  • Performance Reporting: I provide detailed reports tracking impressions, engagement, leads, and sales, offering actionable insights to refine your strategy and sustain growth.

Whether you’re a small business, e-commerce brand, or B2B organisation, my tailored Paid Social Ads Services help you connect with your audience, build your brand, and achieve your marketing goals. Contact me today to develop a results-driven paid social strategy for your business.

How it Works

PPC campaigns take a 3-step approach

1. Strategy

I audit any current or previous campaigns and create a strategy around what worked and what should be tested based on data.

2. Build

I then create accounts, write ad copy, create imagery and build structured campaigns and landing pages in line with the strategy.

3. Optimise

Over time I run and analyse experiments on messaging, imagery, placements and targeting to scale return on investment.
