Advertising & Paid Media

Algorithm-optimized paid media across Meta, Google, TikTok, CTV, and programmatic channels. Creative-as-targeting for the Andromeda era.

01

The Death of Audience Targeting — and What Replaced It

The paid media playbook from 2019 is dead. iOS 14 privacy changes, cookie deprecation, and Meta's Andromeda algorithm fundamentally changed how digital advertising works. The old model — build hyper-specific audiences, show them one ad, and watch the conversions roll in — simply doesn't function anymore.

What replaced it is creative-as-targeting. In the post-Andromeda era, the algorithm itself has become the targeting mechanism. Instead of telling Meta or TikTok who to show your ads to, you give the algorithm diverse creative and let it find the right audience through machine learning. The brands winning in paid media today are the ones producing 10-25 unique ad creatives per campaign — each with different hooks, angles, formats, and messaging.

Nativz was built for this reality. While other agencies are still debating lookalike audience percentages, we're producing creative at the volume algorithms demand and letting the machines do what they do best: find buyers.

Our Paid Media Methodology

Every Nativz paid media engagement follows our Launch → Learn → Scale framework:

  • Launch: We start with a broad campaign structure and 10-20 unique ad creatives across multiple formats (video, static, carousel, UGC-style). We test hooks, angles, and messaging frameworks simultaneously.
  • Learn: Using daily performance data, we identify winning creative concepts within the first 7-14 days. We analyze which hooks stop scrolling, which messaging drives clicks, and which formats convert.
  • Scale: Winning creatives get scaled with increased budget. We produce 5-10 variations of each winner — same concept, different execution — to extend creative lifespan and prevent ad fatigue.

This cycle repeats monthly. The result is a paid media program that gets smarter, more efficient, and more profitable over time — because we never stop feeding the algorithm fresh creative.

Full-Funnel, Multi-Channel Advertising

No single platform wins the advertising game alone. Nativz builds full-funnel, multi-channel campaigns that meet your audience at every stage of the buyer journey:

  • Awareness: Meta Reels ads, TikTok In-Feed, YouTube pre-roll, and CTV/OTT campaigns that introduce your brand to new audiences at scale.
  • Consideration: Google Search, YouTube discovery, and LinkedIn Sponsored Content that capture intent and educate prospects.
  • Conversion: Google Shopping, Meta dynamic product ads, and retargeting campaigns that drive purchases and lead submissions.
  • Retention: Email-triggered campaigns, customer audience retargeting, and upsell/cross-sell advertising that maximizes lifetime value.

Every channel feeds data to every other channel. Meta creative testing informs Google ad copy. Google search data informs TikTok content strategy. This integrated approach produces results that siloed channel management never can.

Measurement and Attribution That Actually Works

In a post-cookie world, attribution is complicated — but it's not impossible. Nativz builds measurement infrastructure that goes beyond last-click attribution to give you a real picture of advertising performance:

  • Server-side tracking: We implement Conversions API (CAPI) for Meta, enhanced conversions for Google, and server-side tracking for accurate data even as browser-based tracking degrades.
  • Multi-touch attribution: We use data-driven attribution models that credit every touchpoint in the customer journey, not just the last click.
  • Incrementality testing: We run holdout tests and geo-lift studies to measure the true incremental impact of your advertising spend.
  • Blended ROAS: We track marketing efficiency ratio (MER) alongside platform-reported ROAS to ensure your total marketing investment is profitable.

Frequently Asked Questions

The right budget depends on your industry, goals, and current position. Most Nativz clients start with $5,000-$25,000 per month across all platforms, though franchise and e-commerce clients often invest significantly more. We'll recommend a starting budget during our strategy call and scale based on performance.
You'll see initial data within the first 48-72 hours. Meaningful optimization typically takes 2-4 weeks as the algorithms learn from your creative and audience signals. Most clients see consistent, scalable results within 60-90 days of launch.
Creative volume. Most agencies build a few ad creatives and optimize bids and audiences endlessly. We know that in the Andromeda era, creative is the variable that matters most. We produce 10-25 unique creatives per campaign per month and let the algorithms find the winners.
We handle everything. Our in-house content production team creates all ad creatives — video, static, UGC-style, motion graphics — and delivers them directly into your campaigns. Creative production is baked into our paid media service, not an add-on.
We manage Meta (Facebook & Instagram), Google (Search, Display, Shopping, YouTube, Performance Max), TikTok, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Snapchat, Amazon, CTV/OTT, and programmatic display. Most clients start with 2-3 platforms and expand based on results.
We implement server-side tracking (Meta CAPI, Google enhanced conversions) that captures conversion data directly, bypassing browser limitations. We also use broad targeting strategies and creative-as-targeting to minimize the impact of reduced signal and still drive efficient results.
Weekly KPI dashboards, monthly deep-dive strategy reports, and real-time dashboard access. We believe in full transparency — you'll see every dollar spent, every metric tracked, and our strategic rationale for every optimization decision.
