Instagram has moved from square photos to full-screen vertical video. Reels and Stories now take up most of the time people spend in the app, and the ads that work there look and sound like the content around them. A polished feed image or a landscape TV ad dropped into Reels gets swiped past in a second. The algorithm notices, and costs go up. Ads made for the format do the opposite. They hook in the first moment, use sound and captions, and feel native. We make that creative in-house and test it in batches until we find what sells.

Every Instagram placement, with creative made for it
Instagram has moved to full-screen vertical video. Reels and Stories take up most of the time people spend in the app, and the ads that work there look and sound like the content around them.
We make Reels, Stories, feed and carousel ads in the right shape from the start, run them through your Meta account, and replace tired creative before costs rise.
How we run your Instagram ads
- 01
Start with tracking and your feed
We check your pixel and Conversions API, connect your catalogue if you sell online, and look at what already works on your organic Instagram. That shows us which styles and products to test first.
- 02
Make creative for each placement
Our in-house team shoots and edits Reels, Stories, carousels and creator content in the right shape from the start. Each batch tests a different hook, offer or format, so we learn quickly what makes people stop.
- 03
Scale what sells, refresh the rest
A senior team reviews results every week, puts more budget behind the ads that bring in sales and replaces tired creative before costs rise. Reports show what you spent, what came back and what we are testing next.

Instagram ads agency questions
Not all of them, but most accounts need some. Reels and Stories favour vertical video, while carousels and still images still do well in the feed and for showing a range. We test a mix and let the results decide where budget goes.
Boosting is quick, but it offers limited goals, targeting and tracking. Running ads through Ads Manager lets us optimise for sales or enquiries, use Conversions API data and test creative properly, so we use it for nearly everything.
Yes, with their permission. We can run partnership ads through a creator's handle or turn customer content into ads, and our in-house team also makes creator-style content. We agree usage rights up front so you know what you can run and for how long.
No. Ads reach people who don't follow you, and the algorithm cares far more about how people respond to the ad than your follower count. A tidy profile still helps, because many people check it before they buy.
Our fees are on our price list, so you can see the cost before we talk. Your ad spend is billed by Meta directly to your business, and we usually plan Instagram as part of a wider Meta budget rather than on its own.
Yes. With your product catalogue connected, we can run catalogue and collection ads that show prices and products and send people straight to the right page. We track those sales back to the ad so you can see which products and creative are selling.
Marketing should act like part of your commercial engine. Not a cost centre.
We started Sneaky because we were tired of watching great brands miss their potential. Campaigns that didn't convert. Data nobody tracked. Junior advice, and service that left people chasing.
So we built the agency we would want to hire. A senior team on every account, no hand-offs, and every decision measured against profit, not platforms. We'll speak your language.
