Social Media & Paid Media Management in the United Kingdom
Followers don’t pay invoices — clients do. PROTON Growth runs organic content and paid media as one acquisition system: presence that builds trust, advertising that converts it into measurable revenue. With rigour and reliability.
What is social media and paid media management?
If the question that brought you here was “how do I turn followers into clients?”, the answer starts by treating social and advertising as one system — not two separate accounts.
Social media management and paid media management are the two halves of digital acquisition: the first builds audience, trust and social proof through consistent content; the second converts that trust into clients through paid campaigns — Meta, Google, LinkedIn or TikTok — with disciplined budgets and measured return. Apart, they produce vanity or waste; together, they compound: organic lowers the cost of paid, and paid amplifies what organic has already proven.
At PROTON Growth we run social and paid media for premium businesses — clinics and healthcare, hospitality and dining, luxury retail and brands, entertainment, software, and professional services — where aesthetics and reputation are worth as much as the click. So we don’t chase vanity metrics: every post has a role in the funnel, and every pound of media answers for itself in the monthly report.
We run social media and paid media in the UK and in Portugal for businesses based in either country — and the campaigns reach wherever your audience is, in any language. Audiences are built market by market, with one brand voice and one monthly report that measures every account.
Organic, paid — or the full system
Social media management
Editorial calendar, content created to your brand’s aesthetic, community management and social proof. Publishing is not the goal — positioning and converting is.
Paid media management
Campaigns on Meta, Google, LinkedIn and TikTok run with experimentation discipline: creative and audience testing, budget that migrates to what performs, CAC and ROAS visible every month.
Creatives and pages that convert
The ad is half the work; the page it lands on is the other half. We produce creatives and conversion-optimised landing pages, tested and improved in a continuous cycle.
Social and paid in the four steps of our framework
The Connection · Activation · Acceleration · Growth framework covers the whole client journey — and in social and paid, each step has concrete deliverables.
Connection

Typical work: account audits, audience research, creative angles defined per segment.
Deliverables: channel plan, creative library, complete tracking.

Acceleration
What we do: continuous A/B testing of creatives and audiences, progressive budget scaling on winners, lookalike audiences and new channels when the data justifies them.

Deliverables: monthly experiment report, scaling plan, CAC and ROAS per channel.
Growth
What we do: retargeting over your own audience base, organic content that feeds paid, social proof reinvested into creatives, decisions guided by client lifetime value.
Typical work: proprietary audience building, creative playbook, reporting and optimisation cadence.
Deliverables: documented system, dashboards, creative playbook — all of it yours.
Monthly management, no lock-in
Every month follows the same rhythm: plan → execution → report → optimisation. You receive clear reports — what was invested, what it returned, what changes next — and the systems we build stay yours. Clear scope, clear structure, no lock-in.
Strategy that ships. Every engagement is run as a managed programme — plan, owners, dates and controls — by our operations and delivery team, whose track record includes rolling out a national platform to more than 70,000 physicians and running a $20M international supply chain.

By far, one of GE Healthcare’s most successful funnel generation tactics was the Sales Plays that André both co-developed and led. Critical to this success was his close, influential relationship with both local and regional Marketing and Sales teams.”
