How much does social media marketing cost?

It depends on content volume and whether video production is included. We give you a number on the first call, within five minutes, before any proposal.

How long does social media marketing take to show results?

First assets inside three weeks, and a first honest read on performance at week six. A single production day produces enough variations to test properly.

Why does our social media get likes but no leads?

Likes are a reaction and enquiries are a decision, so they need different content. If every post entertains but nothing ever makes an ask, the audience never converts. The fix is a deliberate mix of content that earns attention and content that captures intent.

Should we focus on brand building or lead generation first?

Both, but not in the same content. Brand building lowers your cost per lead over the following months, while direct response pays in the current month. A common starting split is 70 percent awareness to 30 percent direct response, adjusted as the pipeline fills.

How do we build brand awareness on social media from zero?

Start with one genuinely distinctive idea rather than a high volume of generic posts. Awareness is not a volume problem, it is a specificity problem: the work has to be pointed enough that the right person stops scrolling.

Which social media platform should my business be on?

The one your buyers already use, rather than whichever platform is trending. One primary platform executed well outperforms an average presence across five, with a secondary channel used mainly to repurpose the same work.

We tried a marketing agency before and it did not work. Why would this be different?

Usually because the work was approved by committee and built to satisfy the brief rather than to survive the first two seconds of a scroll. Send us one post that underperformed and we will show you exactly where it lost the audience.

@elevatemarketing you get three seconds. we spend all week on them. every brief we're sent optimises the message — but the part that decides everything is the part nobody in the room has ever had to defend. #socialfirst #shortform

answers

the four questions everybody asks.

Q asked in the DMs

what does this actually cost?

depends on volume and whether we're shooting. you get a number on the call, in the first five minutes, before any deck.

Q asked in the DMs

how long before we see anything?

first assets inside three weeks. first honest read on the numbers at week six — one shoot day gives us enough to test properly.

Q asked in the DMs

we get likes but no enquiries.

likes are a reaction, enquiries are a decision — different jobs, different content. if everything you post is entertaining and nothing ever asks for anything, nobody will.

Q asked in the DMs

should we build the brand or chase leads first?

both, but never in the same post. brand work makes leads cheaper six months from now; lead work pays this month. we usually start near 70% awareness, 30% direct response, then move the ratio as the pipeline fills.

Q asked in the DMs

nobody knows we exist. where do we start?

with one thing worth noticing, not thirty things nobody asked for. awareness isn't volume — it's being specific enough that the right person stops scrolling.

Q asked in the DMs

which platform should we actually be on?

wherever your buyer already scrolls, not wherever the trend is. one primary platform done properly beats being average on five, with a second one used to repurpose.

Q asked in the DMs

we tried an agency before and nothing happened.

usually because the work was approved by committee and built for the brief, not the first two seconds. send us one post that flopped and we'll show you exactly where it lost people.
