Audience creation
We create and set up ad audiences: segments by interests/behavior, retargeting, look-alike (similar), uploading client bases, exclusions. Honestly and bluntly upfront: audiences are a targeting tool, NOT a guarantee of sales. A good audience increases the chances of reaching the right people, but conversion depends on the offer, creative, landing and product. And it is important about data: we work only with legally collected data and user consent (152-FZ/platform policies) — we do not buy 'leaked' bases. Without promises of results from the audiences themselves.
Audience creation — overview
Audience-creation is the creation and setup of ad audiences for targeting in ad accounts: segments by interests/behavior/demographics, retargeting (site visitors, events), look-alike/similar audiences, uploading and segmenting client bases (CRM), excluding audiences, audiences based on the pixel/events. The work: analyzing the task and data, designing segments, setting up in accounts, checking sizes/overlaps, documentation. Honestly about 'an audience ≠ a guarantee of sales', this is key: an audience is a tool for precise reach, not a reason to buy. Precise targeting increases the chances of showing the ad to the right people, but conversion depends on the offer, creative, landing, price and product. 'We will create an audience and sales will come' = a lie. Honestly about 'data legality and consent', this is critical: we use client bases and user data only with legal collection and consent (152-FZ, platform policies, requirements for uploading hashed data). We do NOT buy or use 'leaked'/illegal bases — this is both a risk of a fine/block and unethical. We will honestly say if the data cannot be used. Honestly about 'quality depends on data': look-alike and retargeting are as good as the quality of the source data/events; little data or a 'dirty' pixel → weak audiences. Honestly about 'size vs precision': too narrow an audience limits reach, too broad blurs it; we seek a balance. Honestly about 'the platform decides': the available signals and targeting rules are determined by the ad system; some targeting is restricted (sensitive categories). Honestly about 'privacy trends': targeting capabilities are narrowing (cookie restrictions) — we honestly account for it. Honestly about the effect: it designs and sets up audiences (segments, retargeting, look-alike, exclusions) on legal data, increasing targeting precision, but it is not a guarantee of sales; conversion depends on the offer/creative/landing; quality depends on data. Honestly about access: an ad account, a pixel/events or a legal base, access are needed. An important boundary: this is audience setup; campaign management — channels 437-456; pixel/CAPI (event collection) — 460; strategy — separate. The base price starts from 18,000 ₽ for creating/setting up audiences.
Problems we solve
- You need precise ad audiences but segments, look-alike, retargeting are unclear.
- A misconception that the audience itself guarantees sales (an audience is a tool, not a reason to buy).
- The temptation to use 'leaked'/illegal bases (a risk of a fine/block, unethical).
- Weak source data/a 'dirty' pixel → poor-quality look-alike/retargeting.

FAQ
Will you create an audience — and sales will grow?
Not by themselves, honestly: an audience is a tool for precise reach, not a reason to buy. Precise targeting increases the chances of showing the ad to the right people, but conversion depends on the offer, creative, landing, price and product. 'We will create an audience and sales will come' is a deception. We will honestly make quality targeting and say that the offer and creative decide what follows.
Can any contact base be uploaded?
No, honestly: we use client bases and user data only with legal collection and consent (152-FZ, platform policies, hashing where required). We do NOT buy or use 'leaked'/illegal bases — this is a risk of a fine/block and unethical. If the data cannot be used — we will honestly say so.
Will look-alike definitely find similar buyers?
As much as the source data is good, honestly: look-alike and retargeting work better the higher the quality of the source base/events. Little data or a 'dirty' pixel → weak audiences. Plus targeting capabilities are narrowing due to privacy (cookie restrictions). We will honestly assess data quality and will not promise 'precise' audiences on weak data.
