Social Media Buying Agency built for Santa Monica businesses.
Santa Monica is tech-savvy customers who Google everything before they call. Here's what real Social Media Buying looks like when it's done by an operator, not an agency assembly line.
- Meta and TikTok ad campaigns built around your actual customers
- Creative testing so we know which ads work before scaling spend
- Pixel and Conversions API set up right — no wasted budget on bad data
- Weekly reporting: spend, cost per lead, and what to change next
Why Social Media Buying matters in Santa Monica.
Meta and TikTok in Santa Monica work — but only if the targeting and creative match a local buyer. Generic national creative wastes budget on people who will never call you. I build ads that speak to the Santa Monica customer directly, run them where those customers actually spend time, and scale what works.
Santa Monica has roughly about 91,000 residents plus daily tourist and commuter traffic. The competition here is high — mature market with a lot of established local players. Most of the local demand runs through tech and Silicon Beach startups, hospitality, healthcare, creative agencies, and retail — the industries where showing up on Google is the difference between a busy month and a slow one.
Concrete work, not a vague retainer.
Every Social Media Buying engagement in Santa Monica covers the same core deliverables. Bigger accounts get more custom work on top, but this is the floor.

- Audience testing: interest, lookalike, and custom audiences tuned to your buyer
- Campaign structure built to scale winners and cut losers without human ego
- Retargeting funnels for site visitors, add-to-carts, and lead form starters
- Weekly reporting on spend, CPL, ROAS, and next-week optimization plan

Common questions from Santa Monica business owners.
What's the difference between social media buying and management?
Buying is paid ads — I run ad spend to get you leads and sales. Management is organic posting. They work together but they're separate services.
Should I run Meta or TikTok?
Depends on your customer. Older, higher-ticket customers still convert on Facebook and Instagram. Younger, DTC brands often do better on TikTok. I test both when it makes sense.
How much ad spend do I need?
$2,000/month in ad spend is a reasonable floor for meaningful testing. Below that, you can't gather enough data to know what's working.
Do you handle Meta Business Manager setup?
Yes. Business Manager, ad account, pixel, Conversions API, catalog if it's e-commerce. Set up right so the data is clean from day one.
Do you make the ad creative?
Yes. Static ads, video ads, UGC-style ads. I have a small production team for anything I can't shoot in-house.
How fast can you launch a campaign?
Usually 7 to 10 business days from kickoff. That includes creative, targeting, tracking, and QA before we push live.
