Meta, Google & TikTok ads agency in the Philippines. Creative that keeps up with spend.
MK Digital runs paid media for Philippine and international brands: Meta (Facebook and Instagram), Google and TikTok campaigns with clean tracking, structured testing and a production team feeding new creative every month. $5M+ in ad spend managed.
Paid media, managed end to end
Most ad accounts don’t fail on targeting. They fail on tracking nobody trusts, creative that ran out weeks ago, and budgets split across too many campaigns to learn anything. We fix the system first, then scale what works.
Meta ads: Facebook and Instagram
Prospecting, retargeting and always-on campaigns for leads, messages, bookings and sales. Click-to-Messenger and WhatsApp campaigns for the Philippine market, instant forms with qualifying questions, and website conversion campaigns built on a properly configured Meta pixel and conversion events.
Google Ads
Search campaigns that catch people already looking for what you sell, Performance Max for e-commerce and lead generation, and YouTube for reach. Keyword research, negative keyword lists and landing page fixes are part of the job.
TikTok ads
Spark Ads and in-feed campaigns built from content that looks native to the platform, for brands whose audience is already on TikTok. If it isn’t the right channel for you yet, we will say so.
Tracking and attribution
Google Tag Manager, GA4 events, the Meta pixel and Google Ads conversions set up and tested before a peso is spent, so every campaign reports against real leads, bookings or sales.
Landing pages and lead forms
Where the ad lands matters as much as the ad. We build or fix landing pages and forms so the click has somewhere to convert.
The creative testing engine behind every account
On Meta and TikTok, creative now does much of the targeting. The platforms decide who sees an ad largely from the ad itself, so the brands that win are the ones testing more concepts, faster.
- New concepts every month, not new crops of the same image.
- Hooks tested in the first three seconds, then scaled when they hold attention.
- Formats matched to placements: 9:16 for Reels and Stories, 4:5 for feed, 16:9 for YouTube.
- Winning concepts go straight into the next shoot plan at MKD Films.
Because production sits in the same building, the gap between “this hook works” and “here are ten more like it” is days, not weeks. See our video production team.
Campaigns built around your goal
Leads and enquiries
Lead forms, click-to-message and website conversions, with qualifying questions so your sales team talks to buyers, not browsers.
Bookings and reservations
For restaurants, hotels, salons and clinics: campaigns measured at the booking, not the click.
E-commerce sales
Catalogue, Advantage+ and Performance Max campaigns tied to purchase value and return on ad spend.
Launches and openings
Pre-launch awareness, launch-week reach and retargeting, planned alongside the content calendar.
Local reach and foot traffic
Radius targeting around a branch or venue, with offers and creative that give people a reason to come in.
Markets outside the Philippines
Campaigns for Australia, the US, Singapore and beyond, run from Manila and reported in USD.
What Facebook and Meta ads cost in the Philippines
There is no fixed price for a Facebook ad. You set a budget and compete in an auction, and what you pay per result depends on your audience, objective, creative and timing. Costs rise through the Christmas quarter and around big sale dates like 11.11 and 12.12, when every brand is bidding for the same people.
What to budget for
- Ad spend, paid directly to Meta, Google or TikTok.
- 12% VAT, which now applies to digital ad spend in the Philippines.
- A management fee for whoever runs the account.
- Creative production, unless it is already covered by a content retainer.
We set budgets backward from your numbers: what a customer is worth, what you can afford to pay for a lead or a sale, and how much data the platform needs to learn. Meta’s own guidance is roughly 50 optimisation events per ad set per week to exit the learning phase, so budgets have to be big enough to get there. Every proposal shows recommended spend separately from our fee.
Boosting posts vs Ads Manager
Boosting is fine for a quick push, but it limits your objectives, placements and testing. Anything that needs to make money belongs in Ads Manager, with proper tracking and a structure built to learn.
Reporting you can actually read
Weekly pacing check-ins and a monthly report that starts with business results (leads, bookings, revenue and cost per result) before it gets to clicks and CTR. Every report ends with what we are testing next and why.
MK Digital runs its own lead generation on Meta and Google too, so the structures and tests we recommend have been tried on our own budget first.
How we take over an account
- Diagnose. A full audit of the account, the tracking and the creative: where money is leaking and what the data can and can’t be trusted for.
- Build. Fix tracking, restructure campaigns around clear goals, and produce the first batch of test creative.
- Run. Launch, read the early signals, cut losers quickly and move budget to what is working.
- Scale. Increase spend on proven campaigns, keep the creative pipeline ahead of the budget, and open new channels only when the core is profitable.
We work across F&B, hospitality, beauty, real estate and retail, with the same creative team behind work for Txoko Asador, Refinery, La Cabrera, HOUSE29 and RAION. For organic content, see our social media marketing retainers.
Paid ads FAQs
How much does it cost to hire a Facebook ads agency in the Philippines?
Agencies usually charge a monthly management fee on top of ad spend, either flat or as a percentage of spend. MK Digital scopes the fee to the accounts, channels and creative volume involved, and shows ad spend separately in every proposal.
How much should we spend on Facebook ads?
Enough for the platform to learn. Meta’s guidance is roughly 50 optimisation events per ad set per week, so we work backward from your target cost per lead or sale to a starting budget, then scale as results come in.
Is there VAT on Facebook and Google ads in the Philippines?
Yes. Digital ad spend is now subject to 12% VAT in the Philippines, so build it into your budget.
Do you manage Google Ads and TikTok ads as well as Meta?
Yes. We run Meta, Google (Search, Performance Max and YouTube) and TikTok, and recommend the mix based on where your buyers actually are.
Can you work in our existing ad account?
Yes. We work inside your own ad accounts and business managers, so you keep ownership of the account, the pixel and the data.
Do you make the ad creative?
Yes. MKD Films and our design team produce ad creative in-house, from vertical video and Reels to static and carousel variations built for testing.
How soon will we see results?
Tracking and the first campaigns usually go live within the first two weeks. The first month is about learning which audiences and creatives work; optimisation and scaling follow from month two.
Do you run ads for markets outside the Philippines?
Yes. We run campaigns for Australia, the US, Singapore and other markets from Manila, and can quote and invoice in USD.
