I'm Grace Alimo — 5 years running paid social for everyone from national CPG brands to fast-growing DTC labels. One campaign drove $207K in tracked Amazon sales; another sold out a client's product run entirely through paid social. Meta, TikTok, LinkedIn, and beyond, run by one strategist who treats your budget like her own.
Paid social ads are sponsored posts on platforms like Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok — built to reach specific people based on their interests, behaviors, and demographics, not just whoever happens to scroll past. Done well, it's the difference between a campaign that "gets impressions" and one that gets your product sold out.
Unlike organic content, every dollar is targeted and trackable. I've watched a well-run campaign move $207K in attributed sales and clear an entire inventory run — that's what happens when targeting, creative, and budget pacing are all pulling in the same direction.
Whether you're launching your first campaign or need someone to run the day-to-day, here's exactly what you get — and exactly what it costs to find out: one message.

What's actually in the document your consultant hands you — platform mix, budget allocation, KPI targets — and the questions worth asking about it.
Platform-native creative isn't a nice-to-have. A look at how format and pacing expectations differ across feeds.
A framework for sizing a first paid social budget based on your goals, not a rule of thumb pulled from a random blog.
Why broad + creative-led targeting is outperforming narrow interest stacks on most platforms right now.
What separates a strategist from someone just boosting posts — and what to have ready before your first call.
Five years ago I started running paid social inside agencies, on budgets big enough that a wasted dollar actually mattered — national CPG launches, retail partners, brands most people would recognize. I've since driven $207K in tracked Amazon attribution sales on a single campaign and helped sell out a client's entire product run using paid alone. I set out on my own to build something more direct: no hand-offs between strategist and client, no junior account manager relaying updates from someone you've never met. Just me, running your campaigns.
GAM is built on three things: honest, data-backed recommendations; genuine relationships with the brands I work with; and a habit of testing before assuming. I'd rather find what actually works for your audience than chase whatever's trending this week — that's how a scrappy DTC budget ends up outperforming ones ten times its size.
Tell me a bit about your brand and what you're hoping paid social can do for it — no discovery call required to get a reply. I read and respond to every message myself, usually within 1 business day.
