We help great businesses grow faster & more efficiently

“Forget about efforts to impress and commit to being real”

Digital advertising offers immense potential in generating business. PPC (pay-per-click) advertising is a powerful tool in putting you in the driver seat of your campaigns with opportunities for targeting, tracking, and measuring. However, PPC isn’t without its difficulties. Bloated ad-spend, lack of expertise, and trust are three issues that are holding companies back from sustainable growth through paid media. Running paid ads is expensive, and it’s becoming even more so, as today, most people automatically tune out from paid advertisements. Putting together a smooth and profitable campaign takes more than guesswork. It requires deft expertise to create content that directly engages your customer’s interests, building the trust that will make your ads turn into actual conversions.

It's easy to run ads. It's hard to make them sustainable long-term

When customers evaluate different products and look to adopt new solutions, word of mouth and referrals wield enormous power. In the modern customer journey,  presence on search platforms, social platforms and websites where they hang out are a necessity in sparking the conversations and interactions that drive them towards the purchase decision. You need in-depth understanding about your customers’ search behaviour and personal preferences, and a paid strategy that effectively targets this with your offering. Otherwise, you'll end up with bloated ad spend,, essentially just throwing arrows at random in an attempt to hit that bullseye. 

Run ads that actually delivers a great ROI

Your actual ad spend isn’t just a result of your bid but also of your quality score. We take a holistic approach to paid ads to tip the scales in your favour in the auction process of PPC advertising. With social, we understand the importance of relevance and personalisation in driving engagement with customers. As experts in design, personalisation, and automation, we’ll help you get the most out of Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, and more.

FAQs

Can I do this myself?

Yes, for sure. There are a number of resources online that you can use as guidance to review your PPC strategy, make improvements and start achieving better results. However, the benefit of bringing ikaros on board to assist is the knowledge transfer you'll attain from a team who have built and developed a myriad of high-impact PPC strategies across companies of all sizes and industries. You'll benefit not only from our actionable and tailored recommendations, but also from our internally-developed, best-practices and automated processes that deliver high-impact results & clear reporting capabilities.

We don't do marketing.
We deliver growth.

During our FullStory platform implementation the ikaros team was invaluable. They took the initiative to address tracking issues through GTM, set up crucial Amart Website dashboards, and collaborated seamlessly with our team, including developers and IT. Everything was extremely well documented and communicated. I highly recommend their services with the implementation of the FullStory platform.
