S4C Digital Media — a performance-media team in London

We plan, buy and measure paid media for brands that want growth they can actually account for. Programmatic, paid social, paid search, creative and analytics — run with the discipline of an engineering team: versioned, instrumented, and reported in numbers you can defend to a board.

-- six things we do, end to end. no resellers, no black boxes.

01
programmatic_display
Open-exchange and PMP buying across DV360 & The Trade Desk. Audience build, inventory curation, brand-safety controls, and creative sequencing tuned to viewable, in-geo impressions — not vanity reach.
02
paid_social
Full-funnel buying on Meta, TikTok, LinkedIn and Pinterest. Iterative creative testing, signal-loss-resilient measurement (CAPI / server-side events), and budget shifts driven by incremental return, not last-click.
03
paid_search & shopping
Google and Microsoft Ads structured around margin, not just volume. Search-term hygiene, smart-bidding guardrails, and a feed strategy that keeps Shopping & PMax accountable per product.
04
creative_studio
Static, motion and short-form video built for the platform and the test. Concept → variant → iteration on a weekly cadence, so the feed never goes stale and the winners are found by data, not opinion.
05
analytics & measurement
GA4, server-side tagging, and clean conversion modelling. We instrument first and buy second — incrementality tests, MMM-lite reads, and dashboards that one person can actually act on.
06
strategy & media_planning
Channel mix, budget pacing and forecast modelling tied to a single north-star metric. Quarterly plans you can stress-test, with the assumptions written down where everyone can see them.

-- how an engagement actually runs, week one to steady state.

[wk 00]OK discovery + audit. We pull your accounts, tracking and historic spend. Nothing changes until we know what's working and where the leaks are.
[wk 01]OK instrument. Conversion tracking, server-side events and naming conventions fixed first — so every later decision rests on data we trust.
[wk 02]OK plan + forecast. Channel mix, budget pacing and a target we both sign off. Written assumptions, no hand-waving.
[wk 03]OK launch. Campaigns go live in controlled stages. Creative and audiences enter as structured tests, not one big bet.
[wk 04+]OK iterate weekly. Standing review, prioritised changes, and a single dashboard. We kill losers fast and scale winners on evidence.
[ongoing]OK report monthly. Plain-language read on spend, efficiency and what we're changing next — the version you can forward to your CFO unedited.

> ./about

-- who you'd actually be working with.

S4C Digital Media is an independent performance-media agency based in the City of London. We were started by buyers and analysts who got tired of dashboards that looked impressive and meant nothing — so we build everything around measurement first, spend second.

We deliberately stay small. You work with the people running your accounts, not an account manager relaying messages to a team you never meet. We take on a limited number of clients at a time across retail, DTC, B2B SaaS and subscription, and we'd rather tell you a channel won't work than bill you to find out slowly.
