As a full service Melbourne based performance marketing agency; paid social media remains at the very core of our service offering.

We' ve helped many brands source consistent top-of-funnel acquisition and nourish warm audiences through data driven multi channel paid social advertising campaigns.

As social media has become incredibly effective in providing brands with affordable and viable acqusition channels, (particularly those operating in the ecommerce landscape), the social content market in 2023 has inherently become oversaturated.

Organic reach is fast becoming a thing of the past with Instagram and Facebook in particular, greatly reducing the amount of people an ordinary timeline post can reach.

Paid social media alleviates this, ensuring developed content is seen by it's intended audience at the right place, and at the right time.

Drive mass reach & awareness, quality website traffic and social conversions through the help of Theory Crew’s team of dedicated paid social advertising specialists.

Measurable results: Paid social media advertising provides more detailed and accurate metrics for tracking the success of your campaigns, compared to organic social media marketing, which can be harder to measure and quantify.

Algorithm dependence: Organic social media marketing is subject to the algorithms of each social media platform, which can change and impact the visibility of your content, whereas paid social media advertising is not dependent on algorithms.

Facebook?

Facebook is still a very relevant advertising platform. Instagram and Facebook run within the same ecosystem, sharing audiences, and ad creation platforms. Facebook is great for location-based advertising and has many dynamic creative options and opportunities for brands to get their content in front of the right people, especially older demographics.

Snapchat?

Snapchat is a great platform to be used by brands that are looking to attract younger audiences. We help our clients understand when to use this channel and how to capture engaged younger audiences, and generate sales from this channel.

Tik Tok?

Fresh and new platforms like Tik Tok are often a great place to get a head start as a new brand because the videos are trending, engaging and fun for viewers to watch. In order to have successful Tik Tok ads, the content must be relatable and on-trend. Trending music, words and important messaging created for this platform need to be immensely engaging. At Theory Crew, we can help your brand create this content prior to advertising.
