What we do

Get real results from paid social advertising

Paid social advertising is the fastest way to reach a precise audience at scale. Done well, it turns scrolling into clicks, clicks into leads and leads into sales.

More detail

Unlike posting and hoping, paid social media management means choosing exactly who sees your ad by age, location, interests, job title and behaviour, then putting a measurable budget behind reaching them.

With 15 years of experience and hundreds of five-star reviews, DPOM provides paid social media management across Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok and X. We start with the commercial goal, then choose the right platforms, build the audiences, produce the creative and track every result. Your management fee is a fixed monthly amount based on your package, never a percentage of your ad spend, so your costs stay predictable as you scale.

The platforms

Paid social across every major platform

Each network reaches a different audience in a different mindset. We pick the platforms that fit your customers and your goal, rather than spreading budget thin across all of them.

Facebook and Instagram

The Meta platforms reach the broadest UK audience and suit almost every business, from local services to national e-commerce. Best for direct response, lead generation and retargeting at scale.

LinkedIn

The home of B2B. Target by job title, seniority, company size and industry to reach decision-makers directly. Ideal for high-value services, software and lead generation.

TikTok and X

Huge reach and low-cost attention, especially with younger audiences on TikTok. Native, entertaining video can travel a long way for the right brand. Best for product discovery, e-commerce and building demand.

What paid social is

What is paid social management?

Paid social management is planning, targeting, running and optimising paid ads on social platforms, then tracking the leads and sales they produce rather than vanity likes. DPOM has done this for UK businesses for 15 years, across Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok and X, from £145 a month fixed.

What is paid social media marketing?

Paid social media marketing is advertising you pay to place on social platforms, choosing exactly who sees your ad by age, location, interests, job title and behaviour, then putting a measurable budget behind reaching them. DPOM manages paid social across Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok and X, starting from the commercial goal rather than the platform.

What is social media advertising?

Social media advertising, or paid social, is running paid ads on platforms like Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok and X. Unlike organic posts, you put budget behind reaching a precisely chosen audience, which lets you generate leads and sales at scale and measure exactly what your spend returns.

What is the difference between organic and paid social media?

Organic social is the unpaid posting you do to your own followers, which builds brand and community over time. Paid social puts budget behind ads to reach a much larger, precisely targeted audience quickly and measurably. We manage paid social advertising, and the two work best alongside each other.

What does paid social management include?

Our paid social management covers strategy, audience building, creative production, campaign setup, conversion tracking, retargeting, ongoing testing and clear reporting. Our UK team handles everything for one fixed monthly fee, with your own account manager from Lite upwards, with you keeping full ownership of your ad accounts.

How it works

Do you offer Facebook ads management?

Yes. Facebook ads management is one of our core services. We handle audience targeting, lookalikes, creative, the Meta Pixel and conversions API, retargeting and reporting across Facebook, all built around leads and sales rather than likes. Lookalike audiences come with Standard and Elite.

Can you run Instagram ads for my business?

Yes. Instagram ads run through the same Meta system as Facebook, so we manage them together for maximum reach. Instagram suits visual, lifestyle and product-led brands particularly well, and we produce the image creative to match the platform, with AI video clips as an option.

Which social media platform is right for my business?

It depends on who your customers are and what you sell. Facebook and Instagram suit most businesses and direct response, LinkedIn is best for B2B and high-value services, and TikTok reaches younger audiences with video. We recommend the right mix rather than spreading budget across all of them.

How do you target the right people?

We build audiences from demographics, interests, behaviours and, on LinkedIn, job titles and company details. On Standard and Elite we also create lookalike audiences from your best existing customers so the platforms find more people like them, and we retarget warm prospects who have already shown interest.

How do you measure results and track conversions?

We install the Meta Pixel, the conversions API and the relevant platform tags to track real leads and sales, not just clicks or impressions. That data lets us optimise towards your cost per lead or return on ad spend, and we report on it in plain English.

How long until paid social delivers results?

Many campaigns generate early leads or sales within the first few weeks, then improve as they gather data and we refine the targeting and creative. We are transparent that it usually takes a couple of months of testing and optimisation before performance really settles into its stride.
