Meta Media Buying for
High-Growth UK Brands

Most DTC brands waste 30–50% of their ad budget on poorly optimised audiences and misaligned strategy. We handle full-funnel Meta advertising — from campaign setup to creative testing to daily scaling — so you get predictable, profitable growth.

If you’re spending £5,000+ monthly on Meta ads and want to move from breakeven to 3–5× ROAS, let’s talk.

Our Approach

Our Media Buying Approach: Test, Optimise, Scale

Quick Summary

A systematic method that removes guesswork. Every pound is tracked, tested, and measured against real performance data.

Testing: We don’t assume. We test multiple audience layers, creative angles, and bid strategies simultaneously. Within 2–3 weeks, we know which audiences actually convert for your business.

Optimising: We monitor daily. We adjust bids based on real-time performance, rotate creative before audience fatigue kicks in, and catch pixel issues before they cost you money.

Scaling: Once we know what works, we scale methodically — increasing spend on proven winners while maintaining ROAS. Most clients see 2–4× revenue growth within 60–90 days.

Strategy Selection

CBO vs ABO: Which Strategy Is Right?

Quick Summary

The right budget strategy depends on your conversion volume, testing needs, and scaling stage. We usually start with ABO for testing clarity, then move to CBO for scaling efficiency.

Campaign Budget Optimisation (CBO)

Meta distributes your budget automatically across ad sets. Best for brands with 50+ daily conversions and proven audiences. Less manual work — the algorithm finds the best audience combinations. Trade-off: less transparency on individual audience performance.

Adset Budget Optimisation (ABO)

You set the budget for each audience individually. Best for testing new audiences and controlling spend precisely. Clear data from each audience with full control. Trade-off: more hands-on management required.

Our Recommended Approach

We usually start with ABO for testing clarity, then move to CBO for scaling efficiency — giving you both precision and performance at each stage of growth.

Daily Optimisation and Scaling

Most agencies update weekly. We monitor daily. We adjust budgets, audiences, and bid strategies in real-time. This is what generates 4–5× ROAS consistently.

Transparent Reporting

Weekly performance summaries. Monthly detailed reports. Exactly how much you spent, revenue generated, ROAS, and what we’re doing next. No black boxes, no mystery.

Pricing

How Much Does Meta Ads Management Cost?

Quick Summary

We charge 15–20% of monthly ad spend. £10,000 spend = £1,500–2,000 management fee. This aligns our incentives with yours — we benefit when you scale, so we’re motivated to grow your business profitably.

What’s Included in the Fee

Campaign strategy and setup. Account optimisation and restructuring. In-house creative development. Daily monitoring. Weekly and monthly reporting. Full-time strategist managing your account. Direct access to our team — no account managers or handoffs.

Minimum Budget

We work with brands spending a minimum of £5,000 monthly on Meta ads. This ensures sufficient budget for proper testing and statistically significant results.

Why Percentage-Based Pricing

If we scale your business, our fee grows. If we fail, our fee shrinks. This is how it should be. Higher budgets (above £25,000) negotiate lower percentages. Smaller budgets (£5,000–10,000) sit at the higher end.

Why We Don’t Guarantee Results

No honest agency guarantees ROAS. Market conditions, competition, product quality, and seasonality all affect results. We guarantee transparency, effort, and strategic thinking. We’ve achieved 4–5× ROAS for most clients.

Ideal Clients

Who Should Hire SOMS Media for Meta Ads?

Quick Summary

We work best with DTC brands that have product-market fit and are ready to scale. We’re not the right fit for everyone — here’s how to know if we’re right for you.

Work with us if you:

Are selling products directly to consumers via Shopify, WooCommerce, or custom platforms. Want to scale beyond 20–30% annual growth to 3× or more. Have product-market fit but struggle with profitable scaling. Want transparent reporting and results-based partnership. Are ready to commit 90 days to a structured process.

Don’t work with us if you:

Are still validating product-market fit (build that first). Want guarantees (no honest agency provides these). Prefer managing ads yourself and want to learn. Have a monthly budget below £5,000 (not enough for proper testing). Want quick fixes — scaling takes consistent effort over months.

Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of brands do you work with? +

We specialize in DTC and ecommerce brands. Whether you're on Shopify, WooCommerce, or a custom platform, if you're selling products online and want to scale profitably through Meta ads, we can help.

What's included in the free 20-minute audit? +

We'll personally review your ad account, website, and funnel. We'll walk you through the gaps costing you money and the quick wins that can improve your results immediately. It's pure value with no pitch and no pressure.

Do you only manage ads, or do you also create the creatives? +

Both. That's my biggest differentiator. We handle full-funnel media buying AND creative strategy including ad scripts, hooks, visual concepts, and creative testing frameworks. Your ads and your account work as one system.

What's the minimum ad budget you work with? +

We typically work with brands spending $5K or more per month on Meta ads. If you're just getting started, the audit and strategy service is a great entry point to build your foundation before scaling.

How quickly can I expect results? +

Most clients see meaningful improvements within the first 30 days after implementing creative testing and funnel optimizations. Significant scaling usually happens in the 60-90 day range as we identify and double down on winning creatives.

Do I need a website before working with you? +

Yes. A high-converting website is non-negotiable before running paid traffic. If your site isn't ready, I'll audit it first and give you a clear roadmap of what needs to be fixed before we start spending on ads.
