We push back when we should
If a tactic won't work for your business, we'll tell you — even when it costs us scope. Honest scope beats expensive surprises.
We've been working with Allegheny County businesses long enough to know what Pittsburgh customers respond to and what they ignore. Our Paid Social work isn't generic — it's built around how the local economy actually buys.
Paid social only works when the creative is right and the measurement is honest. We run Meta, TikTok, and LinkedIn programs with first-party server-side tracking (CAPI / Events API) so iOS 14+ doesn't blind your reporting, and we ship 4-8 creative variations per month so the algorithm has something to optimize toward.

Engagements are scoped in two-week sprints with clear deliverables. You can pause or pivot without breaking a contract.
Every monthly report ties our work back to leads, bookings, or revenue — not just impressions and rankings.
Code, creative, accounts, and strategy documents all live in your systems. No proprietary lock-in, no hostage data.
Pittsburgh has reinvented itself from steel city to a robotics and life-sciences hub — Carnegie Mellon's robotics dominance plus UPMC's $25B healthcare empire have rebuilt the local economy.

Pittsburgh-area industries we have direct experience with:
Our Paid Social clients aren't just inside Pittsburgh city limits — we work across Allegheny County and the broader Pennsylvania market.

We can do either. Most clients let us produce static and short-form video creative in our monthly sprint; some have an internal team and just want strategy and media buying.
Yes — typically through LinkedIn for direct prospecting and Meta retargeting for nurture. The creative ladder and offer matter more than the platform.
Meta still has the broadest reach for most Pittsburgh-area businesses, especially with retargeting. TikTok is strong for restaurant, retail, and entertainment verticals. LinkedIn fits B2B services. We pick based on where your customers actually spend time.
Server-side conversion APIs (CAPI for Meta, Events API for TikTok), CRM-matched conversions, and incrementality testing where the budget supports it. We don't rely on platform-modeled conversions alone.
Most engagements kick off within 2 weeks of a signed scope. The 14 days are spent on access provisioning, baseline measurement, and stakeholder interviews so the work that follows isn't blind.
