Using Paid Social to Build Brand Awareness

You can’t grow a brand no one knows. Discover how we use paid social to spark awareness, scale reach, and make sure your brand shows up where it matters.

You can have the best product or service in the world — but if no one knows you exist, it won’t matter. That’s where paid social comes in. It’s not just a tool for conversions and sales — it’s a powerful driver of brand awareness when done right.

At Sitting Pretty Creative, we use paid social media advertising to help brands of all sizes get seen, remembered, and talked about — fast. Here’s how paid social can be a key player in building your brand and why awareness isn’t just a vanity metric — it’s a growth strategy.

What Is Paid Social Brand Awareness?

Brand awareness is how familiar your target audience is with your brand — your name, visuals, values, and message. With paid social, you’re not waiting for organic reach or hoping your content goes viral. You’re using ad spend to:

  • Reach new audiences quickly

  • Introduce your brand with creative storytelling

  • Create high-frequency touchpoints across multiple platforms

  • Stay top of mind during the decision-making process

We make sure your brand doesn’t just show up — it stands out.

Why Paid Social Works for Awareness

Social media platforms are where your audience already lives — they’re scrolling, discovering, and engaging. Paid social gives you direct access to them with messaging tailored for attention, recall, and reach.

Here’s why it’s one of the most effective brand-building tools in your digital marketing arsenal:

  • Advanced audience targeting ensures you’re seen by the right people

  • High-impact visuals and video formats drive engagement

  • Platform-native placements (like Reels, Stories, and In-Feed Ads) feel organic

  • Data-rich insights allow you to refine and scale what works

Paid social is fast, flexible, and measurable — everything brand awareness campaigns need to be.
