Paid Media Strategy
Where the budget should go and why: objectives, audiences, channel mix and the split across platforms, agreed before anything launches.
Paid media, paid social and performance marketing for brands across the Levant, the Gulf and Europe.
Skan Studio is independent digital marketing and paid media by Alexandre Salamé, a specialist based in Beirut, Lebanon, with campaign experience across the Levant, the Gulf and Western Europe.
I work directly with brands on the strategy, planning, activation and optimization of their digital advertising, paid social, media buying and performance marketing. I take on a small number of accounts at a time so the work stays hands-on, decisions stay fast, and clients deal with the person actually responsible for their media rather than someone reporting on it.
Campaigns run across Meta and Instagram, TikTok, Snapchat, LinkedIn and ChatGPT Ads. Which platforms get used depends on the objective, the audience and the market, whether that market is Beirut, Dubai, Riyadh or somewhere further afield.
Performance marketing, end to end. One specialist across strategy, buying and optimization, not a brief handed down a chain of departments.
Where the budget should go and why: objectives, audiences, channel mix and the split across platforms, agreed before anything launches.
Campaigns built, launched and run inside the ad accounts: structure, targeting, bidding and daily budget control.
Platform coverage across Meta, Instagram, TikTok and Snapchat, plus ChatGPT Ads and LinkedIn where the audience justifies it.
Creative and audience testing against live results, with spend moved toward what converts and away from what doesn't.
ROAS, CPL, conversion rate and cost of acquisition read as commercial signals rather than exported as a platform screenshot.
For brands who already have someone running ads: an outside read on account structure, spend efficiency and what to fix first.

Two ways to spend the same media budget. One of them puts five people between you and the person clicking publish.
More people.
More layers.
More process.
One person.
One line.
One accountability.
