Stop the scroll, start the conversation

Reach people on the platforms they already spend their evenings on. We make ads that look like they belong in the feed, target them carefully, and report on what they actually brought in.

We're a social advertising team in Johannesburg running Instagram, TikTok, Meta and X. Each platform gets creative made for it, not one ad resized four ways.

Platform expertise

We advertise where your audience already is

Every platform rewards something different. Pick one to see how we approach it and what it tends to be best at.

Instagram advertising
Visual brands do well here
2B+ users, Meta reported

Instagram suits anything people buy partly because of how it looks. Clothing, food, interiors, venues, personal brands. We make Reels, Stories and carousels that hold attention past the first second and a half, which is roughly all you get.

Everything is shot and cut for vertical first, because that's how nearly all of it is watched.

Ad formats we run
Reels adsStories ads Carousel adsShopping ads Explore adsLead forms
Best for
Products with visual appeal, launches, and building a following that converts later. Strong for retail, hospitality and anything aspirational.
Targeting by interest, behaviour and lookalike audiences built from your customers
Creative direction and copy written for Instagram rather than repurposed
Pixel based retargeting so people who visited and left see you again
Creative tested against itself to find which format carries your message
Weekly reviews with reporting you can actually act on
TikTok advertising
Cheap reach, if the creative is right
1B+ users, TikTok reported

TikTok is no longer only young audiences, and impressions there are still typically cheaper than on the older platforms. The catch is that polished advertising tends to get skipped, so the creative has to feel like it belongs.

We make content that looks native to the For You page, and we use Spark Ads to put budget behind posts that are already working organically.

Ad formats we run
In-feed adsTopView Spark adsBranded hashtag Collection ads
Best for
Getting known quickly on a smaller budget, products that demonstrate well on video, and brands happy to be a bit less formal.
Video creative shot to look organic rather than like a commercial
TikTok Pixel and conversion events set up before anything goes live
Interest and behaviour targeting, plus lookalike audience building
Spark Ads to amplify posts that already earned attention on their own
Retargeting sequences to follow up with people who watched most of it
Meta advertising · Facebook & Instagram
The most capable targeting of the four
3B+ users, Meta reported

Meta still has the most developed audience tools of any ad platform, and it runs Facebook and Instagram from one place. For lead generation especially, it is usually where we start.

Whether you want homeowners in a specific Sandton suburb, business owners in Cape Town, or an audience that resembles your best existing customers, this is where that gets built.

Ad formats we run
Feed adsVideo ads Lead formsMessenger ads Dynamic product adsRetargeting
Best for
Lead generation, local service businesses, and online stores wanting product ads that pull from a live catalogue. The safest first platform for most budgets.
Full Business Suite setup with the pixel installed and verified
Campaigns structured across awareness, consideration and conversion
Custom and lookalike audiences built from your own customer data
Dynamic catalogue ads for stores, so the right product follows the right person
Conversions API set up, which matters now that cookies are unreliable
X · formerly Twitter
Narrow audience, useful if it's yours
500M+ users, X reported

X is a smaller and more specific audience: professionals, media, tech and people who follow news closely. For most consumer brands it isn't the first choice, and we'll tell you that.

Where it does work is B2B, professional services and founders building a reputation, because the conversation there is public and worth being part of.

Ad formats we run
Promoted postsFollower ads Video adsAmplify Takeover
Best for
B2B, professional services and personal brands. Less suited to local retail or anything that depends on strong product imagery.
Targeting by keyword, interest and the followers of accounts that matter to you
Copy written to earn replies, because engagement is what spreads a post here
Amplify campaigns to extend the reach of content that already landed
Follower campaigns aimed at the audience profile you actually want
Traffic campaigns with conversion tracking, so it is measured like the rest
Why Click Media

Creative that converts, strategy that scales

We're not a posting service. We're a performance advertising team, so every ad and every rand is there to produce something you can measure.

Creative made for the feed
Our designers and writers make content that fits the platform it runs on. You get one second to earn the next one, so that second is where the work goes.
Targeting that stays narrow
We build specific audience segments from interest, behaviour, location and lookalike data, so the budget goes to people plausibly in the market.
Full funnel, not just one ad
Awareness, then consideration, then conversion. People rarely buy from the first ad they see, so we build for the whole path rather than hoping.
Always testing
We don't set and forget. Creative, headlines and audiences are tested against each other continuously, because the winner is rarely the one you expected.
Vertical first, always
Social is watched on a phone held upright. Everything we make is designed and checked at 9:16 before any other size gets considered.

01
Strategy and platform choice
We match your goals, audience and budget to the platforms worth being on. Sometimes that means telling you one of them is not worth it yet.
02
Creative production
Visuals, video and copy produced for each platform's own format, rather than one asset stretched to fit everywhere.
03
Pixels, tracking and audiences
All the tracking goes in before launch: pixels, conversion events, custom audiences and catalogue feeds for stores. Skipping this wastes the first month.
04
Launch and optimisation
Campaigns go live and get checked daily at first. We adjust bids, audiences and creative as the data comes in rather than monthly.
05
Reporting and scaling
Monthly reports showing what each rand did. When something is clearly working we put more behind it, carefully, so it doesn't break.
