Meta ads agency
Facebook and Instagram as one system.

Sneaky Digital is a Meta ads agency for Australian brands that want Facebook and Instagram to pay their way. We run both from one account and one budget, with creative made in-house and Conversions API tracking that shows what each ad brings in.

Facebook and Instagram are one ad platform. Most accounts run them as two.

Facebook and Instagram share one ad account, one pixel and one algorithm. Yet most businesses still split them into separate budgets, separate creative and reports that never agree. That split costs money. Budget stays locked in one app out of habit. Feed ads get cropped for Reels. And when the pixel misses sales, Meta optimises towards the wrong people. Advantage+ campaigns now choose placements and audiences for you, but they only work with strong creative and accurate data. We fix the tracking first, then give the algorithm enough good ads to learn from.

One account, one pixel, every placement

Facebook and Instagram share one algorithm, one pixel and one ad account. We plan them as one system and let budget follow the results across both apps.

That means Advantage+ campaigns with proper exclusions, Conversions API set up so Meta sees real sales, and creative made in the right shape for feed, Reels, Stories and Messenger from day one.

When one app needs its own approach, we go deeper with dedicated Facebook or Instagram work inside the same account.

HOW IT WORKS

How we run your Meta ads

  1. 01

    Fix the tracking, then the account

    We start with your Business Portfolio, pixel, Conversions API and the events you send. Missing or duplicate conversions get fixed first, so every sale or enquiry is counted once before we ask you to spend more.

  2. 02

    Build one structure for both apps

    We simplify the account around your goal, with fewer, stronger campaigns that let budget move across Facebook and Instagram. Creative is made for feed, Reels and Stories from the start, and fresh ads go in on a regular cycle.

  3. 03

    Report plainly, then improve

    A senior team reviews results every week. You get a regular report on what you spent, what came back, which placements and ads did the work, and what we are changing next.

THE WORK

Creative + Media in one team.

The team optimising your ads also makes them. So when results dip, the next ad is already in production. No outside studio, no briefing cycle, no wasted weeks.

FAQ

Meta ads agency questions

Should we set separate budgets for Facebook and Instagram?

Usually not. Running both from shared campaigns lets Meta move budget to whichever placement is converting best at the time. We only split them out when there is a clear reason, such as a separate audience, offer or creative style.

What is Advantage+ and should we use it?

Advantage+ is Meta's automated campaign setup, which chooses audiences, placements and creative combinations for you. It works well when tracking is accurate and there is plenty of good creative to test, so we fix those first and keep guardrails in place, such as excluding existing customers where it makes sense.

Do we need Conversions API if we already have the Meta pixel?

In most cases, yes. Browsers and privacy settings block some pixel events, so Conversions API sends sales and leads from your server or CRM as well. Meta then learns from more of your real results, and your reports line up more closely with your own sales.

How many new ads do we need each month?

Enough to keep testing and replace ads before people tire of them. The right number depends on your budget and how quickly results drop off, and our in-house team plans a regular supply of new statics, video and creator content to match.

Who owns our Meta Business Portfolio, pixel and ad account?

Your business does. We work as a partner inside your own Business Portfolio, so the ad account, pixel, audiences and history stay with you whether or not we keep working together.

Can Meta ads work for lead generation, not just online stores?

Yes. Meta works well for enquiries and bookings when the form, landing page and follow-up are set up properly. We send lead quality back to Meta from your CRM where we can, so it finds more people who turn into customers, not just form fills.

A note from our founders
April and Brendan Ford, co-founders
April & Brendan FordCo-founders

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.
