Digital Marketing and Google Ads
Shout by Design provides digital marketing services in Darwin, including Google Ads and online campaign support for organisations across the Northern Territory and Australia.
We help clients plan and deliver digital campaigns that connect clear objectives, relevant audiences, strong creative and measurable activity. From Google Search and display advertising to paid social media, landing pages and campaign reporting, each element is coordinated around what the campaign needs to achieve.
Digital campaigns built around clear objectives
Effective digital marketing starts with understanding the outcome you need, not simply choosing a platform or increasing advertising spend.
We consider your audience, campaign objective, location, timing, budget and the action you want people to take before recommending the right mix of Google advertising, paid social media, landing pages and other digital channels.
What we do
Digital marketing strategy and campaign planning
We establish the campaign foundations before advertisements are created or budgets are committed.
Depending on the project, this may include:
- Campaign objectives and intended outcomes
- Target audience and geographic considerations
- Key messages and calls to action
- Digital channel recommendations
- Campaign timing and rollout
- Budget allocation
- Measurement and reporting requirements
Google Search advertising
Google Search campaigns allow organisations to reach people actively searching for relevant services, information, programs or opportunities. Google Search advertising services may include:
- Keyword and search-intent research
- Campaign and ad group structure
- Advertisement copy
- Geographic and audience targeting
- Negative keyword development
- Budget and bidding settings
- Ad assets and supporting information
- Ongoing review and optimisation
Search advertising is most effective when the campaign has a clear offer, relevant keywords and a useful page for visitors to reach after clicking.
Google Display advertising
Google Display advertising can build awareness and reach audiences across participating websites, apps and digital platforms.
Display campaigns may be used for:
- Brand and campaign awareness
- Recruitment campaigns
- Program and service promotion
- Public information campaigns
- Event promotion
- Remarketing to previous website visitors
- Regional and location-based campaigns
We can coordinate campaign structure, audience targeting, advertisement formats and creative assets for the agreed placements.
Paid social media advertising
Paid social media can help campaigns reach defined audiences beyond an organisation’s existing followers.
Depending on the audience and campaign, this may include advertising through Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn.
Paid social media advertising services may include:
- Campaign objectives and audience targeting
- Platform and placement recommendations
- Campaign structure and scheduling
- Advertisement copy and key messages
- Static, animated and video creative
- Budget allocation and campaign settings
- Testing and optimisation
- Performance reporting
The most suitable platform depends on the audience, subject and action the campaign needs to generate.
Monitoring and campaign reporting
Where suitable reporting data is available, we can review campaign activity and provide a summary of performance.
Depending on the channels and tracking available, this may include:
- Advertising spend
- Reach, impressions and click-through rate
- Cost per click or cost per result
- Enquiries, registrations and conversions
- Audience, location and landing-page performance
- Campaign observations and recommendations
The reporting available will depend on the platforms, campaign setup, tracking arrangements and agreed scope.
Campaign creative and digital content
Digital advertisements need clear, consistent creative that works across different screen sizes, placements and formats.
We can develop:
- Google display advertisements
- Social media advertisements
- Short campaign videos and animation
- Campaign graphics and supporting content
- Website banners and digital information materials
- Advertisement copy, calls to action and platform variations
Creative is developed around your brand, campaign message and the technical requirements of each platform.
How we support your digital marketing campaign
Account and campaign setup
We can work with an existing advertising account or help establish the required campaign structure and access arrangements.
Where practical, campaign ownership, access and responsibilities are agreed before activity begins so the organisation retains appropriate visibility over its advertising data and history.
Creative and platform coordination
We coordinate advertisement copy, campaign graphics, platform requirements, landing pages and approval processes so the campaign is ready to launch across the selected channels.
Ongoing campaign management
Where ongoing management is included, we monitor campaign activity, review available data and make agreed adjustments to targeting, budgets, advertisements and creative.
Advertising spend and third-party platform charges are separate from professional service fees unless explicitly included in the project scope.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you manage Google Ads campaigns?
Yes. Google Ads campaign planning, setup, creative coordination, monitoring and reporting can be included within the project scope.
The exact services will depend on the campaign, account access, advertising budget and level of ongoing management required.
What is the difference between Google Search and Display advertising?
Google Search advertisements appear when people search for selected words or phrases. They are useful for reaching audiences who are already looking for relevant information, services or opportunities.
Google Display advertisements appear across participating websites, apps and other digital placements. They are often used for campaign awareness, visual promotion and remarketing.
A campaign may use one or both formats.
Do you manage paid social media advertising?
Yes. Paid social media advertising can be planned and coordinated across suitable platforms such as Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn.
Platform recommendations depend on the intended audience, campaign objective and the available targeting options.
Can you work with our existing advertising accounts?
Yes. We can work within existing accounts where the required access and permissions are available.
We can also review the current campaign structure and identify areas that may need to be updated before new activity begins.
How much should we spend on digital advertising?
The appropriate budget depends on the audience, geographic area, competition, campaign duration and desired outcome.
We can recommend a starting budget based on the available information, but campaign results cannot be guaranteed solely by increasing advertising spend.
How do you measure campaign performance?
Measurement depends on the campaign objective and the tracking available.
This may include impressions, reach, clicks, website visits, enquiries, registrations, applications or other agreed actions.
Suitable measures should be established before launch so reporting remains relevant to the campaign objective.
Do you work with organisations outside Darwin?
Yes. Shout by Design works with organisations across the Northern Territory and Australia.
Digital marketing projects can be managed through online meetings, shared accounts and structured review and approval processes.
