Meta ads partner for DTC brands

Ad spend that has to
justify itself.

Picton Marketing runs Facebook and Instagram campaigns for direct-to-consumer brands. No vanity metrics, no fluff decks — every campaign is judged on cost per result, click-through rate, and ROAS.

  • Where your budget is actually leaking
  • Which creative is fatigued and why CTR is slipping
  • Whether tracking is even measuring the right thing

What every campaign is measured against
Cost per result

Efficiency, not spend

The number that decides whether a campaign scales or gets killed. Tracked daily, not glanced at monthly.

CTR

Is the hook working

Weak creative hides behind good targeting. CTR tells us which hooks earn attention and which get skipped.

ROAS

The only opinion that matters

Everything upstream — creative, audience, offer — is in service of return on ad spend that holds up under scrutiny.

Never run an ad before?

You don't need to know any of this. That's the point.

Most of the language on this page — CPA, ROAS, pixel — is for people who've done this before. If none of it means anything to you yet, you're exactly who this bit is for.

01

No experience required

No marketing background, no ad account already set up, no clear idea of what to say yet. We start from wherever you actually are, not where you think you're supposed to be.

02

Every term explained, once, in plain English

If something matters — a pixel, a budget setting, a targeting choice — I'll explain it in a sentence. No glossary, no jargon left for you to go and Google yourself.

03

You always know what your money's doing

Nothing gets spent without you understanding why first. No black box, no surprise line items on a bill.

04

We start small, on purpose

Budgets begin low while you get comfortable and the data proves itself out — scaling only happens once it's actually working, not before.

Services

What's actually on the table

A focused scope, run properly, beats a broad scope run thin.

01

Facebook & Instagram media buying

Full account management — campaign structure, budget allocation, bid strategy, and the daily attention that keeps CPA honest.

02

Creative testing & hook development

Structured testing of angles, hooks, and formats so decisions are based on what the data shows, not what looks good in a review.

03

Tracking & attribution

Pixel and Conversions API setup done properly, so the numbers you're optimizing toward are numbers you can trust.

04

Scaling strategy

A plan for turning a proven campaign into a bigger one without breaking the efficiency that proved it in the first place.

Not sure if the account's actually healthy?

That's what the audit is for. Free, no pitch, two minutes to request.

Approach

How an account actually gets run

Same sequence every time. It's boring on purpose.

01

Audit

Pixel health, account structure, past performance, and offer economics — before a single pound moves, we know what we're working with.

02

Build

Campaign architecture and creative queue built around the audit findings, not a generic template.

03

Test

Angles and hooks tested in controlled batches. Winners get budget, losers get killed quickly — no sentimentality.

04

Scale

Budget scaled against what the data supports, with fatigue and diminishing returns watched closely, not discovered late.
