The Media Lift Effect

August 2025
Marketing

In a world where discovery is driving demand... Social has never been more — or more powerful misunderstood.

​

The days of throwing media budget at Attention spans are shrinking. And audiences are scattered across more platforms, creators, communities, and conversations than ever before. conversion-led campaigns and hoping for the best are over. CPMs are rising.

​

More than half of ad spend is wasted on content that simply isn’t built for feed — overly polished, poorly targeted, or creatively disconnected from how people consume content today.

​

People are savvier. They scroll past anything that even smells like an ad. Add in a flood of AI-generated content, creator-led campaigns, and branded always-on — and it’s no wonder attention is at more of a premium than ever.

​

At the same time, brands are investing more into social because it works. But with that investment comes a new kind of challenge: Disconnected teams. Disconnected planning. Disconnected creative.

​

Paid, organic, and earned media often sit with separate agencies, briefed at different times, by different client teams, chasing different objectives — all developing content with its own interpretation of brand. The result? Fragmented brand IP, duplicated effort, and low-impact creative that burns through budget without delivering real value.

​

And when complexity increases — with new platforms, new behaviours, and new technologies reshaping how people interact with content — those cracks only get wider.

​

That’s where we come in.

We help brands capitalise on complexity, from trend to spend — bringing together media, creative, and performance under one roof to unlock the full power of social. Because when media and creative work together — across the customer journey — the performance upside is exponential.

​

We call it The Media Lift Effect.

It’s what happens when brands show up consistently across paid and organic media, creating thumb-stopping work that delivers key outcomes across the funnel: discovery, consideration, and conversion.

​

The aim? To reduce wastage and increase mental availability by making content more effective. More of what people actually want to engage with, and less of what clutters the feed.

​

This is about engineering a system where paid and organic work together, where brand and performance are in sync.

​

When media and creative align across paid and organic - built with audience insight and activated through the funnel - the results speak for themselves.

​

We’ve delivered across clients:

  • 73% uplift in ROAS 137% uplift in conversion rate and from transforming static brand assets into fullfunnel, multi-format campaigns across platforms.
  • 32% ROAS uplift, 27% improvement in ROI 69% increase in CTR , and after creative was reworked for performance and tested organically before scaling
  • £327k in incremental revenue 2,677 additional purchases and directly attributable to paid social exposure
  • 2.06× ROAS lift 14.9% uplift in purchase intent and proven via controlled Meta lift studies
  • 2.7k uplift in paid search visits 2.6k uplift in organic search and triggered by social - proving its role in driving downstream demand in addition to upper-funnel reach

​

The results were driven by full-funnel thinking, from insight to execution. They were unlocked by a system: where audience, media, and creative work as one, and where testing turns content into outcomes.

​

High-performing social requires systems thinking - and a mindset that sees social as a space to generate demand as well as capture it.
