    We run campaigns on Meta (Facebook, Instagram and Threads), TikTok, Reddit and LinkedIn, with a structured creative testing plan for each account.

  • Programmatic and CTV

    Programmatic display and video plus connected TV, measured by the conversions they drive on other channels.

How do you set ROAS and CAC targets?

Targets start from margins. PAZ works out the customer acquisition cost (CAC) a brand can afford and the return on ad spend (ROAS) each channel needs to stay profitable. A marketing efficiency ratio (MER) target then covers total revenue against total ad spend across every channel.

What is marketing efficiency ratio (MER)?

MER is total revenue divided by total paid media spend across every channel. It shows whether overall spend pays off when platform-reported ROAS double counts or misses conversions.

Which ad platforms does PAZ manage?

Google Ads (Search, Shopping, Performance Max and Demand Gen), Microsoft Advertising, Amazon Ads, Meta (Facebook, Instagram and Threads), TikTok, Reddit, LinkedIn, Pinterest, ChatGPT ads and Shopify Shop Campaigns. Programmatic display, video and audio campaigns have run on StackAdapt and Spotify. Connected TV campaigns have run on MNTN.

Is there a minimum ad spend?

We generally look for ad budgets of $30,000 a month or more, which gives us enough volume to test creative and audiences every month. We also work with several clients who spend less. They get the same level of support from us as our larger clients.

How does PAZ charge for paid media management?

Your fee has two parts: a fixed baseline and a percentage of ad spend over a set threshold. We use either a flat percentage or brackets that lower the rate as spend grows. Pixel management, testing, strategy and project management are included at no extra charge.

How does PAZ decide how much to spend on each channel?

Budget recommendations start from the ROAS and CAC targets set from a brand’s margins. PAZ models how returns on each channel change as spend rises, using elasticity and marginal ROAS analysis, then recommends a budget by channel and by month. The plan is updated as results come in and ahead of seasonal peaks.

Which businesses are a good fit for PAZ paid media?

PAZ runs paid media for growing ecommerce brands, B2B companies and multi-location businesses that already advertise and are ready to scale. Most work with PAZ through an in-house marketing lead. Founder-led brands and startups are a good fit too, including those spending less than $30,000 a month.

What happens after the account audit?

The audit ends with written findings on account structure, conversion tracking, past results and your competitors, plus the changes to make first. We build the strategy from those findings and plan ongoing management around it.
