A Paid Social Media Agency Built to Pay for Itself.

Paid social gets you in front of new audiences fast. The hard part is making sure they're the right ones, and that the spend brings something back. We treat your spend like our own. Every pound has to earn its place, and every campaign is constantly refined on what it actually delivers for the business.
  • Paid social strategy, creative and management across Meta, TikTok and beyond, all in-house
  • Budget aimed at the people most likely to act, with creative built to stop the scroll and earn the click
  • Trusted by brands from Michelin-starred restaurants to independent founders in the UK and internationally

Reach Is Easy. The Right Reach Isn’t.

Anyone can boost a post and watch the impressions climb. As a paid social media agency, we care about the harder questions. Did the spend reach the right people? And what did they do next? Reach without intent is just a number that makes a report look good. That isn’t useful for anybody.
Our paid social advertising starts with who you need to reach, then builds the creative and the targeting around them. We run the campaigns, manage the budget daily and treat under-performing spend as something to fix rather than hide. As a paid media agency that has a deep understanding of branding, the ads will look like you and feel like you, rather than a template with your logo dropped in.
The aim is simple. More of the right people, for less, with numbers and data you can trust.

Why Partner With Us for Paid Social.

Anyone can get you clicks. Getting you clicks from the people who are most likely to convert is the harder bit. Here's why brands who want to grow through paid social come to The Place Beyond:
  • Your money, our discipline - We manage spend like it’s coming out of our own pocket. Every campaign earns its budget or it changes.
  • Creative that converts - Ads made in-house by the team behind your brand. Sharp targeting saves a dull ad about as well as a fast car saves a bad driver.
  • Honest reporting - Real numbers on cost, reach and action. No vanity metrics, no hiding the spend that didn’t work.
  • Part of the bigger picture - We build paid to amplify your organic and support the wider marketing, so every channel moves in the same direction.

What's Included in Paid Social.

Our paid social advertising covers four core areas, each built to make your budget go further. Running something more specialist? Tell us. We'd love to hear more.

Paid Media Strategy

Who to target, on which platform, with what budget. The plan that stops money leaking before a penny is spent.

Ad Creative & Production

Scroll-stopping creative made in-house. Illustration, video and copy built for the feed, rather than repurposed from your site.

Campaign Management

Daily optimisation of targeting, budget and bids, so spend keeps moving toward what’s working.

Tracking & Reporting

Meticulous measurement of cost, conversions and return, set up so you can see exactly where the budget goes.

How We Run Your Paid Social Campaigns

We pin down the goal and the audience before touching a budget.
A campaign with no clear audience profile is set up to fail.

Social Media in Action - BeU Swindon

BeU Swindon is a free mental health service for children and young people aged 0 to 25 in Swindon. The hard part for paid wasn’t the budget alone, it was reach: getting in front of young people, parents and carers who didn’t yet know the service existed, on the kind of budget a community service can spare.
We built Meta campaigns around the audiences that mattered, with on-brand creative carried straight from the wider BeU project. Tight targeting and daily management held the cost per click down to pennies, so a modest budget reached six figures of people and pulled thousands back to the site, where support was a click away.
What we delivered:
  • Meta paid campaigns targeting young people, parents and carers across Swindon
  • On-brand creative produced in-house for the feed
  • Daily budget and targeting management to keep cost per click low
  • Paid amplification working alongside the organic and SEO campaigns
The results:
  • £0.18 average cost per click
  • 15,414 website visits from paid
  • 694,468 Meta paid impressions
  • 171,764 Meta paid reach

Paid Social FAQs.

What does a paid social agency do?

We plan, build and manage paid advertising on social platforms like Meta and TikTok. Strategy, creative and daily optimisation, all aimed at reaching the right people for the least wasted spend.

Do you make the ad creative too?

Yes. Video, illustration and copy are produced in-house, so the ads match your brand and earn the click instead of just filling the slot.

Which platforms do you run paid social on?

Mainly Meta (Facebook and Instagram) and TikTok, with others where they suit your audience. We go where your buyers are, rather than where the budget is easiest to spend.

What’s the difference between paid and organic social?

Organic is the audience you grow over time for free. Paid puts budget behind content to reach people faster and more precisely. Most brands need both, and we run them so they support each other.

How do you measure paid social?

On cost per result, reach and the actions that matter to you, whether that’s clicks, leads or sales. You get honest reporting, including what didn’t work.

How much should I spend on paid social?

Enough to test properly, without guessing at scale. We’ll recommend a starting budget based on your goals, and only scale what the numbers justify.
