Our paid social expertise

Meta Ads Manager and Advantage +

Our team manages end-to-end campaign creation in Meta Ads Manager, including audiences, bidding, reporting and the conversions API. We deliver high-impact creative to engaged audiences across Facebook and Instagram, including Reels and Stories formats.

By using the Advantage+ AI suite, we maximise performance for sales, leads and app campaigns, as well as catalogue ads that drive conversion of the most relevant products for your audience.

Social advertising for the AI era

Social advertising has moved beyond reactive bidding. AI-powered campaigns now deliver an average ROI of 318%, a 27% improvement over the 2025 baseline (Nielsen Cross-Industry Study 2026).

Across all our paid media activity at CTI, we’re keeping pace with AI and its use both by consumers for product and information discovery, and by advertising platforms to improve ROAS.

In this new world of brand discovery, we synchronise social storytelling with intent-based search. And we ensure that real-time creative personalisation and predictive audience segmentation tools are utilised across our paid social ads.

As Meta and other social media companies pioneer machine learning systems for optimisation, recommendation and creative, our innovation and tech teams at CTI keep us ahead of the game.

Creative at the heart of effectiveness

Studies indicate that creative is responsible for over 50% of campaign performance. At CTI, our combination of AI-powered creative analysis and studio production means we can generate brand and product assets that power your success.

Our design team creates scroll-stopping creatives, from static to interactive, tailored to each social platform and built to convert.
