Are you getting the full picture of your marketing performance? 👀

It's easy to look at Paid Social and PPC as two separate channels, each with their own budgets, targets and results. But what happens when activity in one starts influencing the other?

That's exactly what we wanted to find out.

Our Senior Social Account Manager, Ryan Metcalfe, dug into the data across our client accounts to explore whether increasing Paid Social investment could have a positive impact on PPC performance.

And what we uncovered gave us plenty to think about!

We caught up with Ryan to talk about the research, what surprised him along the way and why looking at individual channels might mean missing opportunities for growth.

Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days are coming up on 6-7 October, but what do they mean for your business? 🛍️

For shoppers looking to spread the cost of Christmas, October deals can be a chance to start ticking things off their lists. For retailers, it’s a reason to think about when your festive campaigns begin, whether you sell on Amazon or elsewhere.

We’ve pulled together a few things worth knowing about early shopping habits and what they could mean for your marketing.

There’s a lot that goes into a paid ad. The image, the opening line, the way you show your product. Each gives someone a reason to stop and take a closer look 👀

That’s why creative is such an important part of your campaign strategy. Testing different ideas and formats helps you understand what catches your audience’s attention and what encourages them to take the next step.

Every idea won’t be a winner, but each test can help you decide what to build on.

More website traffic usually sounds like a good thing!

But what if a chunk of it is coming from AI bots making thousands of requests without ever buying, enquiring or doing anything useful?

Heavy bot activity can put extra pressure on your website, affect performance and, in some cases, create SEO knock-on effects too.

We’ve taken a closer look at what AI bots are actually doing on websites, why it matters, and what businesses can do to keep things running smoothly without shutting out the crawlers that help people find them.

The Christmas shopping might come later, but the saving, browsing and wishlist-building are already underway 📌

Pinterest helps people discover what they want before they know exactly what they’re looking for. For brands planning Q4, that’s a chance to be part of the decision early on.

With Pinterest Presents tomorrow, we’ll be keeping an eye on the announcements and what they could mean for our clients ahead of peak season.

Is Pinterest on your Q4 radar?

Another great evening at The Marketing Meetup in Newcastle this week!

Thank you to Dan Appleby for joining us to discuss why, despite being spoiled for choice with tools, so many of us are playing it safe and creating work that doesn’t stand out from the crowd. The session gave us plenty of food for thought, particularly around how we can bring more creativity into the work we produce at Mabo ✏️

A big thank you to everyone who came along and got involved in the conversations throughout the evening. It’s always great to see people staying behind afterwards to share ideas and experiences!

And finally, thank you to Grainger Hub Newcastle for hosting us once again and providing such a brilliant space for Newcastle’s marketing community ✨

Consumer confidence is up. Online spending is growing. But interest in Black Friday and Cyber Monday is slipping.

It might sound contradictory, but it tells us something important: consumers haven’t stopped spending. They’re becoming more selective about where, when and why they buy.

Autumn isn’t one long shopping event either. From the return to routine and seasonal comforts to Halloween and BFCM, consumer priorities continue to change throughout the season. 🍂

As we put our clients’ Q4 strategies into place, we’re looking at how PPC, Paid Social, SEO and email can work together to generate interest, capture demand and give customers a reason to choose one business over another.

So, what does changing autumn behaviour mean for your digital marketing strategy?

The Marketing Meetup Newcastle is back next week, and this session is certainly going to get people talking 👀

This time, we’re joined by Dan Appleby, Managing Director of Drummond Central. With more than 20 years in the creative industry, he has worked across strategy, creative, advertising, CRM and digital, and now leads one of the North East’s best-known independent creative agencies.

In his typically direct style, he'll be asking:

“If marketing has never been easier, why is so much of it forgettable?”

Join him next week to explore why an increasingly educated marketing industry, equipped with better tools than ever, is still producing so much forgettable work, and what we can all do about it.

Whether you’re brand-side, agency-side, starting your career, leading a marketing team or wondering what on earth happened to marketing while you were away on your summer holidays, this one’s for you!

We’d long suspected that increasing investment in Paid Social could have a wider effect on search performance. So our Senior Social Account Manager, Ryan, went looking for the evidence.

Across the accounts analysed, increased Paid Social spend was closely associated with increased PPC activity in 73% of cases.

But one of the most useful findings wasn’t an immediate uplift, it was the delay. Around a quarter of accounts initially saw PPC efficiency decline before performance recovered and improved approximately 3-4 weeks later. React too quickly, and you could reduce investment before that additional traffic has had time to deliver its full impact.

In our latest blog, we discuss what he uncovered, what surprised him and why marketers need to stop judging Paid Social and PPC as completely separate channels. You'll also get access to download the full whitepaper to explore the data behind the findings
