Social media advertising in Cape Town
Social media advertising that turns followers into customers. Paid campaigns across Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and LinkedIn managed for results, not vanity metrics.
Local to Cape Town.
Paid social advertising for Cape Town businesses
Cape Town's tourism, hospitality, property, and e-commerce brands live on Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok, and paid social is where a modest budget can still buy real reach. We plan, build, and manage Meta and TikTok campaigns for Cape Town businesses, targeting, creative direction, testing, and daily optimisation, so every rand of ad spend works harder.
We manage Cape Town accounts remotely and report on the numbers that matter: cost per lead, cost per purchase, and return on ad spend, not just reach and likes. Whether you want local footfall, online sales, or lead generation, the campaign is built around that outcome.
For Cape Town's competitive hospitality and property categories we lean on strong creative and tight audience testing, because in a crowded feed the creative is what stops the scroll.

Programme length
Twelve years
September 2012 to May 2024, which is a harder thing to claim than a single campaign.
Juicy Designs has been a fantastic marketing partner for Lazarus Motor Company. Their team has helped us strengthen our digital presence through email marketing, social media, and engaging content that connects with our audience. They understand the automotive industry and consistently bring fresh ideas, great creative work, and a strong focus on results. We are very happy with the work they have done for our brand.
Engagement ran from September 2012 to May 2024 and has since ended. The lead figures above are programme-level across email, social, content, landing pages and paid social. The client reported no figure for this channel on its own, so none is claimed. Volumes are the client's own reported numbers and are not independently verifiable.

Why most social ads fail
You’re not paying too much for ads. You’re paying for the wrong strategy
Most social media campaigns don’t fail because the platforms don’t work. They fail because tracking, targeting, and creative were never built for results.
Spend burns without tracking
Without a correctly configured Pixel, CAPI, and conversion events, the algorithm optimises for nothing. You pay for clicks that never become customers.
Vanity metrics dressed up as results
Reach, likes, and impressions look good in a report. They don’t pay salaries. If your agency leads with these, they’re hiding the numbers that matter.
Wrong audiences at the wrong cost
Broad targeting wastes budget on people who will never buy. Most SA businesses overpay per lead by 2-3× simply because audiences were never researched and tested properly.
Three things we never compromise on
Revenue-tied results
We optimise for sales, leads, and bookings not impressions, reach, or likes. Every metric connects to actual business outcomes.

Age, interest, behaviour, job title, lookalike your ads reach in-market audiences only. No wasted spend on people who will never buy.

Facebook & Instagram Ads
Meta’s advertising platform gives access to 24M+ South Africans with some of the most precise interest, behaviour, and demographic targeting available anywhere. We handle full-funnel strategy, from cold prospecting campaigns to warm retargeting and DTC ecommerce conversion flows, making this the backbone of most paid social strategies. Monthly deliverables include campaign setup or refresh, ad creative, copy, audience management, weekly optimisations, and a performance summary. Campaigns are live within 5 business days of briefing, with continuous testing to improve results month over month. Best suited for e-commerce, service businesses, and brands looking to scale leads and sales cost-effectively · From R4,500/mo, see full pricing.
See packagesTikTok Ads
TikTok is SA’s fastest-growing platform, with users averaging 95 minutes of daily viewing, and its algorithm surfaces content to new audiences far more aggressively than Meta. We create and manage In-Feed Ads, TopView, and Spark Ads designed to feel native to the platform while driving measurable results. Targeting is built around interest clusters, lookalike audiences, and behavioural signals specific to your category. TikTok delivers superior performance for B2C, lifestyle, food, fashion, and video-first brands targeting Gen Z and Millennials. Monthly deliverables include creative, campaign management, audience testing, and a performance report · From R4,500/mo, see full pricing.
See packagesLinkedIn Ads
LinkedIn lets you target by job title, company size, seniority level, industry, and professional interests, reaching 3M+ South African professionals with a precision no other platform matches. It’s the most expensive paid social channel on a CPM basis, but it’s surgical for B2B lead generation, executive thought leadership, and enterprise sales cycles. We manage Sponsored Content, Message Ads, and Lead Gen Forms integrated directly with your CRM or sales pipeline. Campaigns are optimised for cost-per-lead, with typical B2B CPLs of R400, R900 depending on audience specificity. Ideal for professional services, SaaS, financial products, and any brand targeting business decision-makers · From R8,500/mo, see full pricing.
See packagesRemarketing and retargeting
Remarketing converts warm audiences who have already shown interest in your brand, website visitors, video viewers, page engagers, and past purchasers, at a fraction of cold-traffic costs. These audiences typically cost 50-70% less to reach and convert at 3-5× the rate of cold prospecting campaigns, dramatically improving your overall ROAS. We build custom audience segments, exclusion lists to avoid ad fatigue, and dynamic product retargeting for e-commerce. Ads are refreshed regularly to prevent creative burnout and maintain click-through rates. Remarketing setup and management is included in all paid social packages, see full pricing.
See packagesLead generation campaigns
Native lead generation forms on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and LinkedIn collect emails, phone numbers, and custom field submissions without the friction of landing-page redirects. We integrate directly with your CRM, HubSpot, Salesforce, or any webhook-compatible system, so leads flow into your pipeline in real time. Typical CPLs range from R150, R400 for B2C audiences and R200, R600 for B2B professional services, depending on targeting specificity and offer quality. Every campaign includes A/B testing of form questions, headlines, and creative to continuously reduce cost-per-lead. Deliverables include campaign setup, ongoing optimisation, CRM integration, and a monthly leads summary report · From R4,500/mo, see full pricing.
See packagesAd creative and video campaigns
Scroll-stopping ad creative in static, carousel, or short-form video format, produced specifically for the platform and placement it will run in. Each Creative Pack includes 3 complete ads with copywriting, graphic design or video editing, and platform-spec sizing, ready to launch without additional production work. We test multiple hooks and formats simultaneously to identify the highest-performing creative within the first two weeks. Turnaround on a Creative Pack is 5-7 business days from brief approval. Ideal for brands launching a new campaign, refreshing stale creative, or scaling a proven offer · R2,500/batch, see full pricing.

Client results
Fashion brand: R8,000 to R24,000 ad spend at a sustained 3.8× ROAS
The challenge
A Johannesburg fashion DTC brand was self-managing Meta ads at R8,000/month with no conversion tracking, no audience segmentation, and no visibility on which spend produced actual sales.
What we did
We rebuilt tracking from scratch: Pixel, CAPI, custom conversion events tied to purchases. New audience architecture separated cold prospecting, warm retargeting, and past buyers. Creative refreshed monthly.
The result
Scaled to R24,000/month budget. Sustained 3.8× ROAS over 6 months. “We actually know what our money does now.” Lesego Nkosi, Founder.
