(01) Economics
Economics and testing plan.
We define the target action, acceptable acquisition cost, test-period budget and criteria for the next decisions.
- Target action
- Acceptable acquisition cost
- Test budget
- Decision criteria
We set up advertising on Meta and TikTok as a system of continuous checks: creative, audience, offer, landing page and acquisition economics work in one context.
02 · CreativeEverything else is decided here: if the creative did not explain, whom and why, the rest of the journey does not start.
A different logic
A user did not open Instagram, Facebook or TikTok to buy your product. Precise audience targeting alone does not create sales. The creative must quickly explain whom the offer is for, why it matters and why to continue.
Search
Need → query → ad → page.
Social media
Feed → attention capture → need recognition → interest → transition → choice.
On social media, the creative does not replace the ad strategy. it creates reason for the next action.
Loss points (4)
A person does not recognize themselves, the need or the value of the offer.
The impression is paid for, but attention does not last
The creative creates expectations that the website does not confirm after the transition.
There is interest — but no confirmation
The system receives secondary or incorrect actions and optimizes the campaign for something other than business results.
The algorithm finds not the right people
The creative loses effectiveness, but there are no new hypotheses. Acquisition cost grows with impression frequency.
Frequency rises — economics fall
It is impossible to optimise endlessly what what the user has stopped noticing.
Not a banner conveyor belt
01 – Hypothesis
What may attract a specific audience: a problem, result, use case, objection, comparison or proof.
02 – Creative
We turn a hypothesis into an advertising format. Every variant tests specific assumptions rather than merely changing the color.
03 – Controlled test
We define a sufficient budget and evaluation criterion. We do not draw conclusions from clickability alone.
04 – Solution
We stop weak connections and refine promising ones. Those that demonstrate acceptable economics receive more budget.
05 – New iteration
Test results become the basis for the next hypotheses. Creative replacement is planned before rising costs become an emergency.

The cycle has no final point: every test provides material for the next hypothesis.
What included in work
(01) Economics
We define the target action, acceptable acquisition cost, test-period budget and criteria for the next decisions.
(02) campaigns
We build a structure for cold acquisition, repeat communication and remarketing. For eCommerce, we include catalogue and product campaigns when appropriate.
(03) Creativeand
We define a test plan, agree on the scope of static or video creatives and regularly prepare new iterations.
(04) Data
We verify actions, analyze connections, redistribute the budget and show the cost of target actions with attribution limitations explained.
We do not manage organic brand pages, create an SMM content plan or sell followers and likes.
This is paid acquisition, not SMM
The creative scope and format are fixed before work begins. Professional photo and video production is assessed separately. Some formats require real photos, video or access to the product.
Scope agreed in advance
Ownership and data
Advertising assets are created and managed in the client’s ownership. You retain access to data and work regardless of whether cooperation continues.
The client pays the advertising budget directly to the platform. Sheker.Agency’s fee for support and creatives is paid separately and is not hidden inside advertising costs.

Cost
The client pays the advertising budget directly to Meta or TikTok. We determine the recommended test budget after assessing the product, market, acquisition cost and available data; there is no universal minimum.
Management and creativesMonthly
from $2 000 / month
Meta and TikTok as a system of checks, not a collection of ads.
Assessed separately: professional photo or video production, UGC, complex animation, large editing scopes, creation or redesign of landing pages, additional localisations and production scaling.

When campaigns work, and cost acquisition grows.
for account boundaries
(01) Situation
Advertising brings people, but the page does not confirm the creative promise.
(02) Situation
The campaign leads to a general page because the required page simply does not exist.
(03) Situation
Advertising creates search interest in the brand, which others capture.
We do not increase the budget, to compensate for a problem after the click.
Questions
It depends on target-action cost, the number of hypotheses, geography and the data scope needed for a conclusion. We determine the recommended range before launch.
Our team delivers creative hypotheses, design and basic editing within the agreed scope. Professional filming, UGC and complex production are priced separately.
After enough accurate data has accumulated. The timeframe depends on budget, audience size, target-action frequency and decision-cycle length.
The choice depends on the audience, product, geography and available content formats. We do not include a platform merely because it is popular.
Pixel, server-side event transfer and business analytics improve data quality but do not remove all attribution limitations. We compare several sources and clearly mark what is precise and what is an estimate.
No. We do not manage organic pages or create content plans for regular publishing. Our service is paid acquisition, advertising creatives and work on the result after the click.
The account, Pixel, audience and history belong to the client. The advertising budget is paid directly to the platforms.
Start
A 30-minute online meeting with the founder. We discuss the product, economics, existing creatives, website and advertising data. We propose the next step: an audit, test launch or work on a problem outside the advertising account.
