Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our business has been engaged and working with Addictive Digital for nearly a year now. In that time, Derick and team have enabled our business to create a profitable revenue stream from Meta that we weren't able to achieve before our engagement with Addictive Digital. Aside from the performance of the campaigns generated, Derick is also a great individual to work with. Humble, honest, data driven, genuinely caring...a lot of attributes you don't see via similar organisations and individuals in this space. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Addictive Digital to any fellow business owners in the future.

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Derick is an experienced professional, and it shows, but most importantly he clearly cares about you getting results. From our consultation, I particularly appreciated that he did not sugarcoat certain obstacles we had to overcome and clearly stated the expectations for the results to be achieved. Thank you, Derick, and best wishes for your professional growth! Vittorio

It was a pleasure speaking with you, and I wish you and the team every success going forward.

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I've worked with Derick Turner at ADdictive for three months now to run our Google Ads campaigns, and he is a pleasure to work with. He’s clearly very knowledgeable and brought a structured, thoughtful approach to campaign setup, optimisation and reporting. For the first time, after years of struggling, we have a set of fully functioning, optimised campaigns. Derick is proactive and responsive, and I always feel confident that our campaigns are in safe hands. He's taken the time to understand our very complex business and works closely with me to refine our approach. I’d happily recommend Derick to any business looking for an experienced and reliable Google Ads partner.

Derick is a thorough, diligent paid media expert and has been helping us achieve our objectives on paid search and paid social with invaluable advice and support. Being a small marketing team, ADdictive has been operating as a true extension of our team, with no request being too difficult and no question going unanswered. I'd recommend ADdictive to any brand looking for a boutique agency to grow their paid media channels.

Derick Turner, Founder of ADdictive Digital
Digital Marketing Done Right!
After a decade in digital marketing, I’ve observed that many agencies fall short simply because they lack sufficient understanding of their clients’ businesses.
At ADdictive, we take a different approach. We invest the time needed to understand your business, your objectives, and the unique challenges you face, so we can help you navigate them effectively and achieve lasting results.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I choose ADdictive as my Paid Media agency?
At ADdictive, we prioritise lead generation and real sales, not vanity metrics. With over £50 million in paid media spend managed and 3.2 million leads delivered, we know how to drive measurable growth across a range of industries. We are also experts in highly regulated environments like finance, meaning your paid media is in safe hands, no matter your compliance requirements.
What Paid Media platforms does ADdictive manage?
We run campaigns on Google Ads, Meta, LinkedIn, Microsoft, TikTok and other major digital platforms, selecting the right channels to deliver the best results for your business. Our service includes paid media strategy, account and campaign setup, tracking setup, management and reporting. We can also assist in website optimisation, copywriting and much more.
How much does ADdictive charge for Paid Media management?
We generally charge a fixed retainer or a percentage of media spend, but we also do bespoke retainers for larger spenders. Our fees are tailored to your business goals, budget and campaign needs. Get in touch for a proposal built around your objectives and commercial targets.
Is there a minimum paid media contract length?
We don’t lock clients into long contracts. Instead, we earn your trust through results and service that deliver real value. Most of our contracts come with a 30-day notice period. We can offer discounts for longer-term contracts, but we usually do so once we’ve proven we’re a good paid media partner for your business.
How quickly can I expect results from paid media?
We aim to get you results from day one, but we recommend 30 to 90 days to optimise and drive meaningful performance gains and improvements. Most of our clients get a relatively good idea if our service is right for them within the first month of advertising. We retain 90% of our customers long term, so we are confident we can help your business as well.
Do you work with small businesses or only large companies?
We partner with ambitious businesses of any size, as long as there’s enough budget to achieve real, scalable growth. Whether we are a good fit for your business depends on quite a few factors. That’s why we always recommend scheduling a Discovery Call as a first step.
Can you take over an existing Google Ads or Meta Ads account?
Yes. We audit and optimise existing paid media accounts to unlock better performance, so you don’t have to start over. When working with us, you also keep full control of your paid media accounts. If you ever want to move agencies or bring things in-house, you retain the account and all its data.
How do you measure paid media success?
Unlike other agencies, we don’t measure success in impressions and clicks. We measure success by qualified leads, sales, customer acquisition cost, return on ad spend and revenue growth. When working with us, we make sure to understand what success looks like for you before the campaign starts. We aim to reach the targets set during our initial conversations, whatever they might be.
What makes ADdictive different from other Paid Media agencies?
If we are not confident that we can deliver results for your business, we won’t partner with you. It’s as simple as that. At ADdictive, we believe in building long-lasting paid media partnerships with our clients where they see a real return on investment. Unlike other agencies, we don’t believe in hostage tactics where you’re tied into a long-term contract and forced to pay for a service long after you’ve realised it’s not working for your business. If you’re happy with the service, you’ll stick around. That’s our goal.
Will I own my paid media accounts?
Yes. You always own your advertising accounts, data and performance history. Transparency and control stay with you. If you ever decide to stop working with ADdictive, you are entitled to a proper handover of the account and all your marketing assets. We can even do a handover to your new agency if that’s what’s required.
Do you provide reporting?
Yes. We deliver regular reports and performance reviews, so you always know exactly how your paid media campaigns are tracking against your goals. We can also set up real-time dashboards that you have access to so that you can monitor your marketing performance whenever you’d like.
Can you improve lead quality as well as lead volume?
Absolutely. That is usually one of our main goals. Where other agencies stop taking responsibility for leads the moment they get generated, ADdictive works with clients through the entire sales journey. We have clients who allow us access to every aspect of their sales funnel, and we’ve helped them improve results. How involved you want us to be or not is completely up to you.
What industries do you work with most?
We specialise in Finance, Utilities and Telecoms, but our expertise extends across a wide range of sectors. Our experience includes highly regulated industries, and we are very skilled at working with businesses that have strict compliance requirements.
Do you offer landing page and conversion rate optimisation?
Yes. Driving clicks is just the start. We optimise landing pages and conversion rates to ensure your ad spend delivers maximum value. We’ve helped clients drive conversion rates on their website up to between 25% and 50%.
How do I get started with ADdictive?
The best way to start is to schedule a Discovery Call. During this call, we will evaluate your needs, decide if we are a good fit for your business, and discuss next steps. Once you are happy with the terms, we can send over a short-term agreement with a 30-day notice period.
