Ad Management in Spain

The biggest advantage of advertising in Spain is how precise the targeting can be. You can show an ad only to people in Barcelona, only in certain Madrid neighborhoods, or only to people living in Spain who speak Turkish. Set up properly, even a small budget reaches the right people. Set up badly, the budget is spent on an audience that has nothing to do with your business.

I set up and manage ads on Google, Meta (Instagram and Facebook), TikTok and Spotify. In Türkiye, I've managed campaigns for brands and artists with Gizli Medya for years; I also have specific experience with Turkish-language Spotify campaigns, which I describe on my Spotify advertising page. I do the same work for Spain-targeted campaigns.

Ad tracking in Europe works differently than in Türkiye. Until users consent to cookies, tracking tags don't fully work; if Google's consent mode and Meta's conversion tracking aren't set up accordingly, reports look incomplete and the ad system learns the wrong things. I set up the tracking infrastructure before the campaign, because ads you can't measure can't be optimized.

Reports show spend, clicks and conversions clearly. The ad budget is paid directly from your own ad account; accounts are opened in your name and access always stays with you. For my general advertising service, see the ad management page.

What I Do

Google Ads
Search, Maps and YouTube ads. Showing up for people looking for your business in Spain, right when they search.
Instagram and Facebook
Targeting by city, age, interests and language with Meta ads; a separate campaign for the Turkish-speaking audience.
TikTok Ads
Reaching a young, broad audience with short video. Content is edited specifically for ads.
Spotify Ads
Audio and video Spotify ads; reaching music listeners by city and age.
Conversion Tracking
Consent-mode-compliant Google tag, Meta conversion tracking and tracking of conversions such as WhatsApp, forms and calls.
Reporting
Regular reports that show spend, results and cost clearly. Campaigns that don't work get paused.

Common Questions

Can I show ads only to Turks in Spain?

Yes. With Meta ads, setting the location to Spain or specific cities and the language to Turkish narrows the audience considerably. On Google, we can target users in Spain who search in Turkish.

What's the minimum ad budget?

The platforms' own minimums are low, but the budget needed for meaningful results depends on your goal and sector. In the intro call, I suggest a realistic starting budget based on your goal.

Whose name is the ad account opened in?

Yours. You own the account and I access it as an administrator. If we stop working together, the account, data and audiences stay with you.

Does cookie consent affect ad results?

It does. The behavior of users who don't consent can't be fully measured. That's why we set up tracking with consent mode, so ad systems can model the missing data and reports get closer to reality.

Which brands and artists have you worked with?

I've run the digital strategy, music distribution and official websites for Murat Boz, Ebru Gündeş and Emre Altuğ. On the brand side, I've worked on the Ford Otosan × İlhan Şeşen AI-powered campaign (MIXX Awards 2017) and with Mercedes-Benz, Koton, Avşar Film, Medyapım, Model Sanayi Merkezi, Alpet, Kadoil, Kadooğlu Holding and Damat Tween.
