The Marketing Blend: Social Media Advertising Strategy & Management paired with dynamic creativity.

As a strategy-first social media advertising agency, our tailored ‘Marketing Blend’ strategies cut through the clutter on social media, turning likes into leads and followers into customers.

Our proven Marketing Blend framework is a four-phase approach engineered to ignite your brand’s potential across social platforms.

This comprehensive approach is designed to amplify your reach, boost engagement, and drive measurable results that directly impact your bottom line.

We don’t just run Facebook advertising campaigns; we create social experiences that resonate with your audience and align with your business objectives.

From pinpointing your ideal audience and crafting scroll-stopping creatives to relentless campaign optimisation and crystal-clear reporting, we’re committed to elevating your social media game.

And it stays true to our mission of providing transparent, actionable marketing that gets results.

01Phase One: Social Media Advertising Audit + Strategy

As a strategy-first agency, your social media advertising strategy will be expertly crafted using a blend of your team’s insights and our in-depth analysis conducted by our social media marketing specialists. Together, we’ll uncover:

  • Your ideal audience’s social media habits, preferences, and engagement patterns across platforms like Facebook and Instagram.
  • Your competitors’ social presence and performance, identifying opportunities to outshine them in users’ feeds and stories.
  • Your specific business goals for social media advertising, whether boosting brand awareness, driving website traffic, or achieving a target return on ad spend.
  • Your brand’s unique voice and how to amplify it through scroll-stopping visuals and compelling ad copy.
  • Your social media funnel, from first impression to conversion, ensuring a seamless user journey.

Our collaborative process allows us to deeply understand your brand essence, target personas, and current social media standing. This understanding enables us to craft a data-driven strategy to allocate your social media advertising budget effectively, maximizing engagement and ROI across platforms, and ultimately, delivering the results you’re looking for.

By harnessing the power of precise targeting, creative storytelling, and continuous optimisation, we’ll not just improve but transform your social media presence into a dynamic engine for growth and customer acquisition.

02Phase Two: Social Media Advertising Idea Incubator

Our Idea Incubator allows us to brainstorm and meticulously document a wealth of innovative concepts to energise your social media advertising strategy. This crucial phase keeps you on track and free of clutter and shiny object syndrome, prevents advertising campaign drift, and keeps your team laser-focused on your core objectives.

By crystallising our ideas and aligning them with your business goals, we ensure that every post, every social media advertising campaign, and every interaction is purposeful and drives us closer to your businesses success.

03Phase Three: The Social Media Marketing Blend

With our strategic roadmap and Idea Incubator locked and loaded, we then seamlessly weave these elements together to propel you towards your social media advertising goals.

We harness the full potential of various social platforms (including Facebook advertising, Instagram advertising and TikTok advertising) and cutting-edge tools, leveraging AI-driven insights and automation to maximise your budget efficiency and overall return on ad spend. Our comprehensive Marketing Blend could include:

  • Creating engaging feed ads to capture attention and drive action
  • Story ads for immersive brand experiences
  • Targeted video campaigns to boost engagement and reach
  • Dynamic retargeting to nurture interested shoppers and leads
  • Influencer collaborations to amplify your brand voice
  • Social shopping features to streamline the path to purchase

Our monthly Marketing Blend is not just a plan or cookie-cutter approach; it’s a reflection of your unique brand aspirations, budget, and resource availability. We present this plan in a visually intuitive format, ensuring you have a clear understanding of our strategy.

Our transparent approach is designed to provide you with complete visibility into ad spend allocation, planned activities, and real-time campaign performance. It underscores our commitment to open dialogue and accountability, ensuring you’re always in the loop and confident in the direction of your social media advertising efforts.

04Phase Four: Marketing Strategy Implementation

As we bring your social media advertising strategy to life, our team meticulously oversees every facet to ensure your social media advertising campaigns remain cutting-edge and deliver peak performance:

  • Platform-specific campaign creation and launch
  • Crafting scroll-stopping visuals and persuasive ad copy
  • Strategic budget allocation and bid optimisation
  • Real-time performance monitoring and agile adjustments
  • Split testing of ad creatives, audiences, and landing pages
  • Comprehensive analytics and strategic insights reporting

Our team thrives on creating high-impact, ROI-focused social media campaigns. Through our dynamic Marketing Blend process, we fine-tune and review your campaigns often, ensuring they resonate with your target audience across all relevant platforms and are driving tangible results.

By leveraging our deep expertise in social media advertising, we position your brand to dominate social feeds, outshine competitors, and forge meaningful connections with your audience. Our goal is to transform your social presence into a powerful engine for achieving your broader digital marketing objectives, from brand awareness to conversions and beyond.

Frequently asked questions

What is the cost of Done By Nine's Google Ad Management services?

Management starts from $950 a month and the ad creative, made by our own design team, from $1,500 a month. Both are New Zealand dollars and exclude GST.

What management costs scales with what you spend: a small always-on budget and a national campaign are not the same job. The ad spend itself is separate and goes to Google rather than to us.

Nine questions gives you an indicative figure for your own business in about three minutes, and there is no long-term contract on any of it.

What is the typical return on investment (ROI) for social media advertising campaigns?

The ROI for social media advertising campaigns can vary widely depending on factors such as industry, target audience, ad quality, and your overall business strategy.

However, when executed effectively, social media advertising often delivers impressive returns relatively quickly. On average, businesses can expect ROIs ranging from 200% to 400% for well-optimised campaigns.

Can you help with landing page optimisation for better social media advertising performance?

While our ability to directly edit your site depends on your CMS, we always provide detailed recommendations for landing page optimisations during the ‘Marketing Blend’ process.

We’ll give you specific, actionable insights on what changes need to be made to improve your social media advertising performance and conversion rates.

How closely do you work with our team?

We work very closely with your marketing team or key business stakeholders throughout the entire social media ads management process.

Regular communication via Slack and email ensures you’re always in the loop and able to provide input on campaign strategy and performance.

What's the difference between boosted posts and a social media ad campaign?

While both boosted posts and full social media ad campaigns fall under the umbrella of social media advertising, they serve different purposes and offer varying levels of control and sophistication:

Boosted Posts:

  • Simple way to increase the reach of an existing organic post
  • Limited targeting options
  • Fewer customisation features
  • Ideal for increasing engagement on specific posts

Social Media Ad Campaigns:

  • Comprehensive advertising strategy using platforms like Facebook Ads Manager
  • Advanced targeting options (demographics, interests, behaviours)
  • Multiple ad formats (carousel, video, stories, etc.)
  • Detailed performance tracking and optimisation tools
  • Ability to test different ad variations
  • More control over budget allocation and bidding strategies

At Done By Nine, we leverage the full power of social media ad campaigns to create highly targeted, results-driven strategies that go beyond simple post boosting.

Can social media advertising help with both B2B and B2C marketing?

Social media advertising is a versatile tool that can be highly effective for both B2B and B2C marketing, albeit with different approaches:

B2C Marketing:

  • Platforms like Facebook and Instagram are ideal for reaching consumers
  • Focus on visually appealing content and emotional connections
  • Utilise features like Instagram Shopping for direct sales
  • Target based on consumer interests, behaviours, and demographics

B2B Marketing:

  • LinkedIn advertising is particularly effective, but Facebook and Instagram can also work well (depending on your audience or product/service)
  • Focus on lead generation and relationship building
  • Target based on job titles, company size, and industry

We have extensive experience crafting social media advertising strategies for both B2B and B2C clients. We tailor our approach to your specific business model, target audience, and goals, ensuring that whether you’re selling to businesses or consumers, your social media advertising efforts drive meaningful results.

Can we get funding to work with Done By Nine?

Some of our digital marketing services may be eligible for up to 75% funding through the Regional Business Partners network.

Again, please note that setup and implementation services mentioned above are not covered.

Eligibility criteria vary across New Zealand, and funding is not guaranteed.

Which member of the Done By Nine team will I work with?

Your first introduction to Done By Nine will likely be with Jordan McFadyen (Done By Nine Founder).

During our discovery call, we’ll ask a series of questions to understand your specific needs, and information about your business before matching you with the marketing strategist that will have the best fit to your industry and needs.

Our team of marketing strategists has experience with various businesses, from start-ups to large enterprises, B2B to e-commerce, and it’s important for you that we match the best skills to match your business.

How will I know if my social media advertising campaigns are going well?

Transparency is KEY! We give our clients full access to their ad accounts and analytics so that they can access it at any given time. Plus as part of your monthly Marketing Plan, you’ll have a clear picture on the goals that you need to track – and we’ll track them for you.

We provide a full summary of how your marketing plan is performing which allows us to adjust and pivot if needed.

What partnership programs are you a member of?

We are members of both the Google, META, Aircall and Klaviyo Partnership Programs.

However we also work with other marketing tools including HubSpot.

The Google Partners program is designed for advertising agencies and digital marketing professionals who qualify based on the spend they manage, their qualifications and ad quality scores. It allows these partners certifications, exclusive training sessions, industry research and further benefits.

Who takes care of the creative design of the campaigns and posts?

We do! We have our very own specialised digital design team in-house. They work closely with our campaign strategists to develop tailored creative that not only matches your brand identity, but also converts your leads.
