Paid media — New York

Paid media run by people who own the number.

Senior media buyers on every account, with AI doing the monitoring, modelling and creative testing underneath. Google and Microsoft for the demand that exists. Meta, LinkedIn and TikTok for the demand we create.

Every decision, visible.

AI surfaces the signal around the clock. Your strategist decides what to act on and signs off before anything touches spend. You see both halves — the flag and the call.

Two pillars. One blended target.

Search captures demand. Social creates it. Judged separately they flatter each other and hide the leak between them — so we run them together and hold both to the same number.

PILLAR 01

Paid Search

Google Ads · Microsoft Ads

Capturing demand that already exists. Someone is typing the problem you solve into a search bar right now — the job is to be there, be relevant, and not overpay for the privilege.

  • Search, Shopping, Performance Max and Demand Gen
  • Weekly query mining and negative-keyword sculpting
  • Bid strategy testing against profit, not platform ROAS
  • Landing page and offer testing tied to each ad group

PILLAR 02

Paid Social

Meta · LinkedIn · TikTok

Creating demand that does not exist yet. Nobody is searching for a brand they have never heard of — social is where you earn that first impression and make the later search inevitable.

  • Creative testing velocity as the primary growth lever
  • Audience architecture built to avoid internal overlap
  • Full-funnel sequencing from cold reach to retargeting
  • UGC and static variants shipped from our creator network

THE MODEL

AI does not run your account. Your strategist does.

Handing a budget to an autonomous agent optimises for whatever it can measure this week — which is rarely the thing your business is actually trying to grow. We use AI where machines genuinely beat people: watching everything, all the time, without getting bored. The judgment stays human.

Your strategist owns

  • Strategy, channel mix and budget allocation
  • Creative direction and messaging angles
  • Offer, landing page and funnel decisions
  • Brand judgment on what should never ship

AI handles

  • 24/7 performance monitoring and anomaly alerts
  • Wasted-spend detection across terms and placements
  • Bid and budget scenario modelling
  • First-draft creative variants and ad copy at volume

THE FREE AUDIT

Six places your budget is leaking right now.

In most accounts we audit, a meaningful share of monthly spend is buying nothing. It is rarely one dramatic failure — it is six small ones compounding quietly while the headline ROAS still looks fine.

  • Irrelevant search terms

    Broad match quietly buying queries that will never convert. Found by query mining, fixed with exact negatives.

  • Low quality-score keywords

    Paying a relevance tax on every click. Usually a message-match problem between keyword, ad and landing page.

  • Audience overlap

    Your own ad sets bidding against each other in the same auction. You pay the premium; nobody wins it.

  • Budget-capped winners

    The campaigns actually returning money throttled at a daily cap set months ago and never revisited.

  • Junk placements

    Display and Audience Network inventory burning impressions on sites no buyer of yours has ever visited.

  • Double-counted conversions

    A tag firing twice, inflating reported performance and quietly training the algorithm on bad data.

What you get back

Your free account audit

Every leak found, priced and prioritised

PDF

Audit, rebuild, scale, report.

01Audit

We go through your accounts line by line — structure, tracking accuracy, wasted spend, creative fatigue, competitive position. You get the findings whether or not you hire us.

02Rebuild

Fix measurement first, because every decision after it depends on clean data. Then restructure campaigns around how you actually make money, not how the account grew by accident.

03Scale

A permanent testing loop across creative, audiences, bidding and landing pages. Winners get budget, losers get cut, and the reasoning is written down every week.

04Report

Live dashboard plus a weekly written note in plain English. What changed, what it did to the number, what happens next. No 40-slide decks nobody reads.

“The cheapest performance win available to most brands is simply to stop paying for the clicks that were never going to convert.”

Real words from partners who chose HAIC to grow visibility across Google, ChatGPT, Gemini, and AI Overviews.

GreenPeaks Roofing

I've had a great experience working with this team—communication is clear, timelines are respected, and they actually execute instead of overpromising. They've been proactive with recommendations, quick with updates, and they explain things in a way which makes decisions easy. A strong partner if you want real progress.

HAIC are genuinely great collaborators. They're proactive, transparent, and always on the ball—quick to execute and even quicker to jump on any questions we have. It really feels like an extension of our own team rather than an outside agency. Couldn't recommend them enough.

Ysabella ManlangitMarketing Manager, Kingpin AI
Wellnest

HAIC's approach is different to what I've experienced with many SEO agencies—it's more about quality backlinks and content rather than high volume, and the results are coming in, so it's working. I also like how HAIC tracks AI search results and works on enhancing ranking there, which is where the future is at.
