Question 1

How much does it cost to hire a paid social expert or media buyer?

Accepted Answer

A senior US in-house hire runs roughly $155,000 or more a year fully loaded; senior freelance media buyers commonly quote $75 to $150 an hour. A Distilled Paid Social expert is full-time and exclusive from $3,000 a month, with employment, payroll and a free replacement guarantee included.

Question 2

Which platforms do Distilled paid social experts run?

Accepted Answer

Meta, TikTok and Snap are the core, with experience across the major paid social platforms. The expert works inside your own ad accounts, so spend, data and learnings stay yours.

Question 3

Can you show results?

Accepted Answer

Yes. E-commerce retailer Mumzworld embedded a Distilled expert to rebuild its Snapchat channel in Saudi Arabia: roughly a 200 percent increase in ROAS in five months, with monthly spend scaled 1.6 times, profitably. The full story is in our success stories.

Question 4

Paid social expert vs agency: which should I hire?

Accepted Answer

Agencies fit defined campaigns and small budgets. Once paid social is a core revenue channel, daily iteration on creative and audiences is the whole game, and that is an owner's job: someone in your standups every day, not a brief-and-review cycle.
