What is Social Media Advertising?

Imagine being able to reach your ideal customer right where they spend a significant portion of their time—on social media. Platforms like Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and X (formerly known as Twitter) offer businesses the opportunity to promote their products and services directly to users based on demographics, interests, behaviors, and more. Social media advertising involves creating targeted ads that resonate with specific audiences, driving traffic, engagement, and sales.
