Social Media Advertising Melbourne

Social media advertising puts your brand in front of the right people at exactly the right time. As a result, our social ads team designs, runs and continuously optimises campaigns on Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn, so your budget works harder and your results are measurable.

What Our Social Ads Management Includes

We manage social ad campaigns end-to-end across Meta (Facebook & Instagram), LinkedIn, and TikTok, from strategy and creative through to targeting, optimisation, and reporting.

  • Campaign strategy and setup – We build campaigns structured around your business goals: lead generation, e-commerce sales, brand awareness, or retargeting. Every campaign starts with a clear plan, not a template.
  • Creative direction and ad copy – Headlines, ad copy, and creative briefs tailored to each platform and audience. We can work with your existing assets or brief our in-house creative team.
  • Audience targeting – Interest-based targeting, custom audiences from your CRM or website visitors, and lookalike audiences to find new prospects who match your best customers.
  • Retargeting campaigns – Re-engage people who’ve visited your site, watched your videos, or interacted with your content but haven’t yet converted.
  • Conversion tracking and pixel setup – Proper event tracking so every lead and sale is correctly attributed. You’ll always know exactly what your ads are producing.
  • Monthly performance reporting – Clear reporting on reach, cost per lead, return on ad spend (ROAS), and what we’re optimising next.

Most of this is Facebook ads and Instagram ads, which Meta now runs from the one account. We build the campaigns and the creative that goes in them, then keep testing until the cost per lead settles where it should be.

Our Social Advertising Packages

We offer flexible social advertising packages to suit businesses of all sizes, whether you’re just starting with paid social or looking to scale an existing programme.

Why Social Media Advertising Works for Melbourne Businesses

Most social ad campaigns fail because they are built around guesswork, the wrong audience, the wrong platform, the wrong message. Instead, we start with your customer: who they are, where they spend their time, and what motivates them to take action. Social advertising gives you something organic content cannot: precision. You decide who sees your ads, when, and what you want them to do. Done properly, it is one of the most cost-controllable ways to generate leads and sales for a business. The brands that see the best returns are those with a consistent testing and optimisation process, not a set-and-forget approach. That is exactly how we run campaigns at Phoenix Marketing.

Platforms We Advertise On

Not every platform is right for every business. We match your budget and audience to the platform where you will get the best return.

  • Meta (Facebook & Instagram) – The most versatile paid social platform for businesses. Unmatched audience targeting depth, strong visual ad formats, and effective for both B2C and B2B lead generation.
  • LinkedIn – The go-to platform for B2B businesses targeting decision-makers by job title, industry, company size, or seniority. Higher cost per click but often the highest quality leads for professional services.
  • TikTok – Increasingly effective for brands targeting under-40 audiences. Strong reach with lower CPMs than Meta, particularly for video-first creative.
  • Pinterest – Highly effective for home, lifestyle, fashion, food, and design-adjacent businesses with strong visual assets.

We recommend the right platform mix based on your audience and objectives, not based on what is trendy.

How We Work: Minimum 3-Month Retainer

Social advertising takes time to optimise. In the first month, we establish tracking, build audiences, and test initial creative. Then, month two refines what is working and scales what is not. By month three, you have real data to make confident decisions. For example, trying to judge social ad performance in four weeks is like reviewing an employee after their first week, you simply do not have enough signal. Therefore, our minimum 3-month retainer ensures we have enough time to learn, optimise, and deliver results that are worth reporting. After the initial period, contracts run month to month. We earn your business through results.

Supporting Creative Services

Great social ads start with great creative. Alongside our paid media management, Phoenix produces the assets your campaigns actually need.

  • Video production – Brand videos, testimonial films, social content, reels, and product demos produced end-to-end by our in-house team.
  • Photography – Professional photography for your team, products, office, and brand assets.
  • Graphic design – Static ad creative, carousels, stories, and branded templates built to your specifications.
  • Animation – Motion graphics and animated ads that stop the scroll and communicate your message in seconds.

Having strategy and creative under one roof means faster turnaround, consistent messaging, and campaigns that look as good as they perform.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which social media platforms should I advertise on?

The right platform depends on where your audience spends time and your business objectives. We recommend Meta (Facebook/Instagram) for B2C and lifestyle brands, LinkedIn for B2B, and TikTok for reaching younger demographics. In most cases, a blended platform approach across two or more channels delivers the best results.

For most campaigns, a minimum ad spend of $1,000–$2,000/month is recommended to generate meaningful data and results. Your total investment includes both ad spend and our management fee, which we keep transparent and performance-focused.

Absolutely. Meta advertising is our speciality. In fact, we handle everything from creative strategy and ad copy to audience building, pixel setup, retargeting funnels, and campaign optimisation across Facebook and Instagram.

Specifically, we use a combination of interest-based targeting, lookalike audiences, custom audiences from your customer data, and retargeting of website visitors, layered together to reach the people most likely to convert.

Overall, we track reach, engagement, click-through rates, cost per lead, and most importantly, revenue-attributed conversions. You’ll receive monthly reports with clear metrics showing exactly what your investment is delivering.
