Paid media that doesn't burn budget on off-target clicks.

Generic accounts waste 30 to 50% of spend on the wrong audiences. We run lean, precision-targeted campaigns built around the way maritime services and equipment actually get bought.

Most B2B paid accounts have three problems: they target too broadly, they measure on last-click, and they don't have the negative-keyword hygiene to keep off-target searchers out of the auction.

We rebuild from the auction up. Tight match-type discipline, segmentation by buyer journey stage, job-title and seniority targeting on LinkedIn, conversion tracking that respects 6–18 month sales cycles, and weekly negative keyword lists that keep cost-per-qualified-lead falling instead of climbing.

Channels we run.

01

Google Ads

High-intent search where qualified buyers compare shortlists. Tight account structure, search-term mining, exact match preference, conversion-led bidding.

02

LinkedIn Ads

Job-title, seniority, company-size and industry targeting. Account-based campaigns where the deal value justifies it. Sponsored content, message ads and lead-gen forms targeted at fleet managers, technical superintendents, port directors and procurement leads.

03

Microsoft Ads

Often overlooked, often higher ROI for enterprise software, Microsoft's audience skews toward older decision-makers using Edge and Bing, which closely matches the maritime buyer profile.

04

Meta (Facebook/Instagram)

Demand generation, retargeting, brand campaigns. Used selectively, not every maritime company belongs on Meta, and we'll tell you when it doesn't fit.

05

YouTube & display

Video for category education and brand presence. Programmatic display where it complements other channels rather than padding spend.

06

Tracking & attribution

Server-side tagging, GA4, offline conversion imports back into ads platforms, attribution models that respect multi-touch journeys.

How we structure budgets.

A typical maritime account splits roughly 60/30/10, high-intent search to capture in-market demand, account-based or job-title-targeted social to create demand in priority owners and operators, and a small experimentation budget to test new channels and audiences. The exact split depends on your sales cycle, deal size and category maturity. We'll model it out before recommending spend.
