What budget is required for B2B paid demand generation?

We recommend a minimum monthly ad spend of £3,000 to £5,000 to generate sufficient data for optimisation on any single channel. LinkedIn typically requires higher minimum spend due to higher CPCs. We will tell you upfront if your budget is not large enough to produce actionable data on your timeline.

Do we need to supply creative or do you produce it all?

We produce everything in-house. You review and approve before anything goes live, but you do not supply assets. When test results come in and a creative variant needs changing, we can turn it around in 48 hours.

Paid Demand Generation

LinkedIn, Google & Meta Ads for B2B, managed end to end. Qualified leads, not impressions.

Most B2B paid campaigns miss them anyway, broad targeting produces volume, not pipeline; generic creative produces impressions, not interest. We fix both. Campaign structure, audience build, full creative production, and a weekly A/B test cycle. Everything measured against cost-per-qualified-meeting, not vanity metrics.

The Problem

Most B2B paid programmes spend budget on the wrong audience. Here is what a well-built programme looks like.

Most B2B paid programmes fail on one of two things. Either the targeting is too broad and the leads that come in do not match the ICP, or the creative is generic and nobody clicks. Some fail on both. Agencies report impressions and click-through rates because those numbers always look good. The number that matters is cost per qualified meeting, and most agencies avoid reporting it because it is harder to make look flattering.

We track every campaign to the meeting. That means connecting ad spend to form fills, form fills to qualification calls, and qualification calls to meetings that match the ICP. A CPL that looks great until you realise none of the leads are your buyer is not a good CPL.

We track campaigns all the way to cost per qualified meeting. A 40 USD CPL sounds great until none of those leads match your ICP. We would rather tell you that upfront than report a flattering number that puzzles your sales team.

What We Do

The full paid pipeline engine, owned by us.

Platform Selection Based on Your Buyers

Platform selection based on where your specific buyers spend time, not a default template. The mix is decided before spending anything.

Full Creative Production: Copy, Design, Video

Full creative production, copy, design, and video assets, built by our team and approved by you before anything goes live. New variants in 48 hours when tests come back.

Audience Build and Targeting

Audience build and targeting configuration across Google, LinkedIn, and Meta, job title, seniority, company size, keyword groups with aggressive negative lists, and retargeting audiences from your CRM.

Landing Page CRO

Landing page CRO recommendations to improve lead-to-meeting conversion. A well-targeted ad that sends people to a generic homepage wastes budget. We review or build pages around a single clear action matched to the ad.

Weekly A/B Test Cycle

Weekly A/B test cycle, one variable per test, winners scaled within 48 hours. Every Friday you get results with a written explanation of what we learned and what is changing next week.

Daily Pipeline Reporting

Daily reporting against cost-per-qualified-lead. A live dashboard tracking spend, CPL, pipeline contribution, and meetings booked, updated daily, not monthly.

The Platforms

Three platforms. Three different jobs.

LinkedIn Ads

The only platform where you can target a VP of Engineering at a Series B SaaS company with any precision. High CPCs, so the creative has to earn the click. Best channel for defined titles at defined company types.

Google Ads

Someone searching 'outsourced SDR services' is already in buying mode. Google captures that intent. Keyword discipline is everything: broad match sends your budget to irrelevant traffic fast. We build tightly themed groups with aggressive negative lists.

Meta Ads

Meta does not close B2B deals but it keeps you visible to people who have already shown interest: site visitors, CRM contacts, and lookalike audiences. We use it for retargeting while the other channels do the heavier qualification work.

How It Works

From strategy sign-off to campaign live in seven days.

Days 01-02, Strategy

Platform selection and audience design.

We map your ICP to platform capabilities and decide where your budget will produce the best qualified pipeline. Channel mix, bid strategy, and targeting criteria agreed before any build begins.

Days 02-04, Creative

Ad copy, static, and video produced in-house.

Our creative team builds all assets. You review and approve before anything goes live. We never ask you to supply creative. The people managing the campaigns should be the ones building the ads.

Days 04-06, Build

Campaign structure, audiences, and tracking.

Ad accounts configured, audiences built, conversion tracking verified end to end. Landing pages reviewed or built. Technical setup tested before any spend is committed.

Day 07: Launch

Live with a weekly test plan from day one.

Campaigns go live with a documented A/B test plan for the first four weeks. Week one tests audience segments. Week two tests creative concepts. Week three tests landing page variants. Budget shifts to what wins.

Why we own the creative entirely

Most paid media agencies outsource creative or hand it back to the client. We think that is backwards. The quality of what someone sees before they click is the biggest single variable in whether they convert.

Our creative team sits next to our media buyers. When a test shows a particular angle is outperforming, we can turn around a new variant in 48 hours. When a message is not resonating, it gets replaced before it burns more budget.

FAQ

Questions before handing over your ad budget.

Which paid channels do you manage for B2B demand generation?

We manage LinkedIn Ads, Google Ads (Search and Display), and Meta Ads for B2B clients. For most SaaS and IT services companies, LinkedIn is the primary channel because of its precise job title and company targeting. Google Search captures in-market buyers actively researching solutions. Meta retargeting keeps your brand in front of warm audiences between touchpoints.

Which platform do you recommend for B2B paid ads?

It depends on who you are targeting, what your deal size is, and whether your buyers are actively searching or need to be interrupted. For targeting specific titles and company sizes, LinkedIn is the most precise tool available. For buyers already searching for a solution, Google captures that intent. Meta handles retargeting. Most clients run two platforms with budget weighted toward whichever produces the lower cost per qualified meeting after the first four to six weeks.

What budget is required to run paid demand generation effectively?

We recommend a minimum monthly ad spend of £3,000 to £5,000 to generate sufficient data for optimisation on any single channel. LinkedIn campaigns typically require higher minimum spend than Google Search due to higher CPCs. During the initial two months, budget is deliberately spread across ad sets to identify which audiences and creatives perform best before scaling.

What is a realistic budget to start with?

For LinkedIn, the minimum to get statistically meaningful test data quickly is around 3,000 to 5,000 USD per month in ad spend. Below that, tests take too long to read and the learning phase drags. Google can be effective from a lower floor depending on search volume in your category. We will tell you upfront if your budget is not large enough to produce actionable data on your timeline.

Do we need to supply any creative or do you produce it all?

We produce everything in-house. You review and approve before anything goes live, but you do not supply assets and we do not ask you to. When test results come in and a creative variant needs changing, we can turn it around in 48 hours rather than waiting for an external production queue.

How do you define a qualified lead from paid campaigns?

We define this with you before the campaign launches. Typically it means a contact matching your ICP on company size, sector, and seniority with a signal of genuine intent: a demo request, a content download with a qualifying follow-up, or a direct inquiry. Form fills that do not meet those criteria do not count toward the performance numbers we report.

How do you measure ROI on paid demand generation campaigns?

We track cost per qualified lead, cost per meeting booked, and pipeline generated as primary metrics, alongside impression share, CTR, and conversion rate as diagnostic signals. Every campaign includes UTM tracking, CRM integration, and a monthly attribution report that shows which campaigns contributed to closed revenue, not just click volume.

How long does it take to see results from paid demand generation?

Most campaigns show meaningful data within the first four to six weeks. The first month is a learning phase where audiences, creatives, and landing pages are tested. By month two, we have enough signal to identify what is working and begin scaling. Campaigns typically reach optimal cost-per-lead by month three.
