Paid social ads, run by the person reading the data.

SEMPITE plans, builds and runs paid social campaigns on TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and YouTube for small businesses and personal brands. Campaign build starts at $1,200 one time, ongoing management at $750 per month plus your ad spend, and the founder runs the account rather than handing it to a junior buyer.

Most small advertisers lose their first sixty days of budget because the offer, the creative, the targeting and the tracking were set up by four different people who never spoke to each other. Here the same person writes the offer, cuts the creative, builds the audiences and reads the numbers, so a losing ad gets killed in days instead of quarters.

Ad spend is the fastest, most expensive way to discover your funnel is broken.

Paid social punishes a weak offer, an untracked conversion or a landing page that loads in six seconds, and it bills you daily while it does. Before a dollar goes to the platform we make sure the thing the ad points at can actually convert, because the cheapest optimization is always the one you make before launch.

Offer, creative, targeting and tracking, from one desk.

Campaign strategy and offer

The part most agencies skip straight past.

  • Objective, audience and budget shape set before launch
  • The offer itself pressure-tested, not just the ad
  • Platform mix: TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube
  • Landing page and conversion path reviewed first

Creative built for the platform

Shot and cut in house, not licensed from a stock library.

  • Vertical video cut for TikTok, Reels and Shorts
  • Static and carousel creative from your own photography
  • Multiple hooks per concept so the test means something
  • New creative on a schedule, because fatigue is the real ceiling

Testing, scaling and killing

Structured tests with rules written down in advance.

  • Creative and audience tested one variable at a time
  • Written kill rules, so losers stop spending
  • Scale rules, so winners get budget without resetting learning
  • Budget reallocated on evidence, weekly

Tracking, attribution and reporting

You should never wonder whether it worked.

  • Pixel and Conversions API installed and verified
  • Events, GA4 and Search Console wired together
  • A monthly report written in plain language
  • Spend, result and cost per result, every month

Campaign build from $1,200 · management from $750/mo plus ad spend

Prove the path converts, then put money behind it.

We start with the Brand Audit ($199) or a direct scoping call, fix whatever would waste spend, then build the campaign, run a structured test phase, and scale only what earns it. Your ad account, your pixel, your data: SEMPITE works inside accounts you own, and you keep every one of them if we stop working together.

For anyone whose organic reach has stopped being enough.

Local service businesses that need the phone to ring, product sellers who need a repeatable acquisition channel, and personal brands with something specific to sell: a course, a show, a record, a booking. If you want a large team running television-scale production, we are not that. If you want one experienced operator who will treat your budget like it is his own, this is the right desk.

Straight answers on paid social.

Do you actually run the ads, or just advise?

We run them. SEMPITE builds the campaigns, produces the creative, manages the daily optimization and reports on the spend. It is hands on keyboard work, not a strategy deck handed to someone else.

What is the minimum ad spend I should plan for?

Plan on at least $1,000 a month in platform spend for a meaningful test. Below that the platforms cannot exit the learning phase fast enough for the data to tell you anything honest, and you end up paying for noise.

Do you make the ad creative too, or do I supply it?

We can do either. SEMPITE shoots photo and video in house, so the creative, the targeting and the reporting all come from the same place. If you already have creative you like, we will run it and tell you honestly how it performs.

Who owns the ad account, the pixel and the audiences?

You do. SEMPITE works inside accounts registered to your business, with agency access rather than your password. If the engagement ends, everything stays with you, including the historical data.

How soon will I know whether it is working?

You will have clean numbers within the first few weeks, but read them as a test result rather than a verdict. The early phase is buying information about which offer, audience and hook work. What we promise is a disciplined test and an honest reading of it, not a result on a date.

The rest of the creative work, from the same desk.

SEMPITE handles the creative side and the search side together, which is the whole point: the ads, the photography, the feed and the design are built from the same data and by the same person.
