Introducing You to Creator Paid Ads 💸
The New Era of Paid Media
What are Creator Paid Ads?
Creator Paid Ads are proving to be a game-changer, increasingly outperforming traditional branded and product-focused ads. They utilize creator-style content in paid media placements. According to Meta, brands using Creator Ads see a 15% boost in ROAS compared to those that don't.
Why do they work?
Creator Paid Ads are successful because they focus on what consumers truly value about social media content – appealing to personal interests, being relevant, and reflecting their identity. It's time to wave goodbye to flat lays if you want to attract an engaged, targeted audience!
What does 'good' look like?
Successful Creator Paid Ads are created and optimized for each platform. They attract an audience, emphasize your brand's message, enhance your connection with the audience, and are super direct. The truth is, Creator Paid Ads boast an incredible 93% higher engagement rate than traditional branded content, thanks to the power of influencer-driven storytelling. Here's an example of Sam Thompson's Paid content from our Which? campaign.
This is just the tip of the iceberg for the potential that Creator Paid Ads. That’s why we’re excited to invite you to our post-summer breakfast panel, where we’ll bust more myths and explore the new era of Paid Media.

DoorDash: Driving results with influencer content in paid ads
When it comes to Father’s Day, many families pick up the same old bottle of whisky or a new pair of dad socks from the store. But the truth is what Dad really wants is a thoughtful gift and quality time with the people he loves. This Father’s Day, our challenge was to get dads to tell everyone the secret: the Father’s Day gift I want is on DoorDash – and all that time you saved? Let’s spend it together.
Our goal was to convince wives and Gen Z children that DoorDash has a wide selection of Father’s Day gifts and party prep items that are convenient and meaningful and will free up time for memory-making with Dad.
The Paid Social objective of this campaign was to increase traffic to the DoorDash retail store's webpage for Father’s Day. Authentic placements with a Paid execution aimed to spread the message to two audience segments, Mothers and Gen Z, whilst gaining impressions and driving traffic to the DoorDash website to drive orders.
The Paid campaign delivered the ads to the chosen demographics with interests related to delivery services and Father’s Day, therefore raising awareness and driving action through the use of Boosted posts/Spark ads. Multiple creatives were used (7 on each platform), which optimized paid performance and drove up result rates due to reduced ad fatigue and platform auto optimization between creatives. This is now an established best practice for DoorDash!
