Paid Social & Meta Ads Agency

Social ads built to perform.

Most paid social budgets leak through boosted posts, broad audiences, and stale creative. We run Meta, LinkedIn, and TikTok ads with sharp targeting, fresh creative, and tracking that shows what every dollar brought back. Management starts at $2,000 per month.

What we manage

Our paid social services

Meta Ads (Facebook & Instagram)

The biggest audience and the deepest targeting on social. We build lead gen, traffic, and sales campaigns across Facebook and Instagram, then keep testing audiences and creative so costs go down over time instead of up.

  • Lead gen & conversion campaigns
  • Awareness & traffic campaigns
  • Retargeting website visitors
  • Instant forms & lead routing

LinkedIn Ads

When your buyer has a job title, LinkedIn is hard to beat. We target by role, industry, and company size for B2B and professional services clients, and focus spend on the accounts your sales team actually wants.

  • Job title & company targeting
  • Lead gen forms
  • Sponsored content & message ads
  • Account-based campaigns

TikTok Ads

For brands whose customers live in short-form video. We make ads that feel native to the feed, not like TV spots squeezed into a phone, and track them back to real sales.

  • In-feed video campaigns
  • Creator-style ad production
  • Spark Ads from organic posts
  • Pixel & event tracking

Creative, Boosting & Influencers

Great targeting can't save a boring ad. Our in-house team writes, designs, and shoots the creative, turns your best organic posts into paid ones, and pairs campaigns with influencer partnerships when it makes sense.

  • Ad creative, copy & video
  • Creative testing & refresh
  • Boosting top organic posts
  • Influencer partnerships

How we run social ads

On social, nobody is searching for you. You're interrupting their scroll, so the ad has to earn the stop. That's why creative gets as much attention as targeting here. Our in-house designers, writers, and video team build the ads alongside the media buy, and we test new angles constantly so nothing goes stale.

Our Meta lead campaigns for Foster Plus have generated 4,892 qualified leads from interested foster parents since January 2024. Not because they outspend anyone, but because every campaign is built around what that audience actually cares about.

Our Process

How we get paid social results.

01
Audience & goals

We start with who you're trying to reach and what a lead or sale is worth to you. Then we look at your current accounts, your competitors' ads, and your organic content to find what already resonates.

02
Tracking & creative

Before a dollar goes out, we set up the Meta pixel, Conversions API, and GA4 so results are measured, not guessed. At the same time our creative team builds the first round of ads to test.

03
Test, learn, refresh

Social ads wear out fast. We test audiences and creative constantly, move budget to what's winning, and swap in fresh ads before performance drops. Small, steady changes beat big quarterly overhauls.

04
Reporting you can read

Every month you get the numbers that matter: spend, leads, cost per lead, and what we changed. If something underperformed, the report says so and explains the fix.

Why Sproutbox

What sets us apart.

Lots of agencies will boost a few posts and call it a strategy. We build social campaigns around real targeting and fresh creative, then judge them by the leads and sales they bring in, not the likes.

Creative Built In-House

The people making your ads sit next to the people buying the media. Designers, writers, and our video team work on the same campaign, so the creative actually matches the strategy and gets refreshed before it goes stale.

Leads Over Likes

We optimize for the thing that pays your bills: leads, sales, and cost per lead. Reach and engagement are nice, but they're not the goal, and they won't be the headline of your report.

Senior People, Not Hand-Offs

The strategist who plans your campaigns is the one managing them next quarter. No junior account managers learning on your budget.

Paid and Organic Talk to Each Other

Our organic social team knows which posts are landing, and our paid team puts budget behind them. Your ads and your feed tell the same story, because the same agency runs both.

FAQs

Questions?
Here are the ones we hear most.

How do I choose a paid social or Meta ads agency?

Ask who makes the creative, how often they refresh it, and whether you own the ad account. Social ads fail more often from stale creative than bad targeting, so an agency that builds and tests ads in-house has a real edge. At Sproutbox, our creative team and media buyers work on the same campaigns, and the accounts always stay yours.

What does paid social management cost?

Our paid social management starts at $2,000 per month, plus your ad spend, which goes straight to Meta, LinkedIn, or TikTok. We'll tell you what budget we need to see real results before you commit. Full pricing is published on our pricing page.

Are Facebook and Instagram ads still worth it?

For most businesses, yes. Meta still has the largest audience and some of the best targeting available, and lead gen campaigns there can produce leads at a lower cost than search. The catch is that it rewards good creative and accurate tracking. Set it up poorly and it will happily spend your budget on the wrong people.

Which social platform should I advertise on?

Wherever your buyers actually spend time. Meta works for most consumer brands and many local businesses. LinkedIn is usually worth the higher cost for B2B and professional services. TikTok fits brands with a younger audience and a product that shows well on video. We often start on one platform, prove it works, then expand.

Do you make the ad creative too?

Yes. Our in-house team writes the copy, designs the graphics, and shoots and edits video. That means the creative is built for the campaign goals from day one, and we can refresh it quickly when performance starts to slip.

Do you run LinkedIn ads for B2B companies?

Yes. LinkedIn is our go-to for B2B and professional services clients who need to reach specific job titles, industries, or companies. Clicks cost more than on Meta, so we focus on lead quality and track leads through to your CRM where possible.

What's the difference between boosting a post and running ads?

Boosting is a quick way to push an existing post to more people, but it offers limited targeting and optimization. A real campaign built in Ads Manager lets you choose the goal, test audiences and creative, retarget visitors, and measure leads and sales. We use boosting for top organic posts and campaigns for everything that needs to drive results.

How fast do social ads show results?

You'll see early data within the first couple of weeks, but most campaigns need 60 to 90 days to find the audiences and creative that consistently hit targets. Month one is learning. Month two is optimizing. Month three is where things usually get steady.

How will I know if my social ads are working?

We set up the Meta pixel, Conversions API, and GA4 before launch, so leads and sales are tracked back to the ad that drove them. Your monthly report shows spend, leads, cost per lead, and what we changed. And you always have direct access to your own ad accounts.

Do you require a long-term contract?

We ask for a 3-month minimum so there's time to set up tracking, test, and optimize properly. After that, it's month to month. You own your ad accounts, your audiences, and your creative, so if you ever leave, everything stays with you.

Do you only serve Portland businesses?

No. We're based in Portland, Oregon, but we run paid social campaigns for clients across the United States. Targeting follows your customers, not our zip code.
