EQUALLY IMPORTANT
We are probably not the right fit if...
You need results in 30 days. Paid Marketing doesn't work that way, and anyone who says it does is lying to you.
You want to own the strategy internally and outsource only execution. We work as strategic partners, not vendors.
Your budget is under $2,000/month. We can't do our best work at that level.
The brands we work best with are past the “let’s try Paid Marketing” phase. They know it works. They want it done properly.
Bordeaux finance & fintech is a different game.
We’ve run Paid Marketing here. We know what it takes.
Your finance message competes against 32,000 businesses in Bordeaux.
Bordeaux's finance and fintech sector operates in one of Europe's most regulated advertising environments. Generic campaigns fail because compliance departments block them—and because local search visibility for 'financial advisor Bordeaux' remains fragmented across platforms. The 32,000 SMBs here average €2,400/month on digital marketing, yet most waste 40–60% on untargeted channels. Finance businesses that win in Bordeaux pair compliance-first messaging with hyper-local targeting: Google Local Services Ads, LinkedIn for B2B advisory, and geo-fenced Facebook campaigns.
The 3 places Bordeaux finance & fintech brands leave revenue on the table
Every engagement starts with a structured audit. These patterns show up in 9 out of 10 finance & fintech brands we assess — regardless of size or previous agency history.
Don’t take our word for it.Here’s what we actually delivered.
Competing against national banking groups. Ad budget was €3,200/month but scattered across generic channels. Local search visibility was weak ('financial advisor Bordeaux' ranked 6th). Compliance team rejected 40% of campaigns for unclear disclaimers.

You shouldn’t have to wonder what your agency is doing with your money.
Every Friday, you get a Loom from your strategist. Not a report — a walkthrough. What changed, what we’re doing about it, what to expect next week. Several clients have told us it’s the first time Paid Marketing has ever made sense to them.
From audit to measurable growth, step by step
Within 90 days, you'll have compliant, high-performing paid campaigns driving qualified leads at predictable cost. Within 6 months, you'll own local market visibility in Bordeaux finance—top-of-mind for your target customer—and understand exactly which marketing pound generates revenue.
Compliance & Market Audit
We map your current paid campaigns against CNIL, DGCCRF, and EU advertising regulations. We audit your message tone, claims, and disclaimers. We benchmark your Bordeaux local market position (search visibility, competitor spend, local intent keywords).
Channel Strategy & Budget Allocation
Based on your service type (wealth advisory, fintech, insurance, lending), we design a multi-channel strategy: Google Local Services (high intent, local), LinkedIn (B2B trust), and geo-targeted Facebook (brand awareness in key Bordeaux districts like Saint-Pierre). We allocate your €2,400–€4,000 monthly budget to channels with highest ROAS for your segment.
Creative & Copy Development
We write compliance-first ad copy (headlines, descriptions, disclaimers) that speaks to Bordeaux finance buyers—advisors seeking trusted counsel, borrowers seeking clarity, fintech users seeking security. Each ad variant is tested for regulatory approval before launch.
Launch & Daily Optimisation
We deploy campaigns across all channels, starting with Google Local Services (fastest results), then LinkedIn and geo-targeted social. Daily monitoring flags underperforming ads, compliance issues, or platform policy changes. We adjust bids, audiences, and messaging in real-time based on lead quality, not just volume.
Attribution & Scale Planning
After 30–60 days, we map which channels and messages drive actual client acquisitions (not just clicks). We measure cost per qualified lead, conversion rate, and client LTV by channel. You'll know exactly which pound/euro works hardest. We then scale winners and pause losers.
The honest difference
We’re not going to call other agencies bad. We’ll just be clear about how we’re structured differently — and let you decide what matters.

“Google Ads was our biggest cost centre. It's now our highest-margin acquisition channel. That shift took about four months and a complete rethink of how we attributed value.”

“The attribution model they built showed us that 40% of our paid conversions had an organic first-touch. We restructured the whole channel mix based on that one insight.”

“We'd been paying a premium for a 'strategic' agency that was running auto-bidding with a nice deck attached. The comparison when we switched was embarrassing.”

The questions founders actually ask us
Not the FAQ we wrote. The questions from real first calls.
How much of my marketing budget should go to paid vs. organic?
For finance & fintech in Bordeaux, we typically recommend 60% paid (immediate, measurable local visibility) + 40% organic (long-term brand trust and SEO). Paid channels—Google Local Services, LinkedIn—capture high-intent Bordeaux buyers now. Organic builds defensible market position. The ratio shifts based on your growth stage and risk tolerance, but both matter.
Will Omakaase handle my ad compliance, or is that my team's job?
We handle creative compliance (headlines, claims, disclaimers). Your legal/compliance team signs off on the final copy before launch. We audit regulatory risk and flag potential issues; your team retains control. This hybrid model ensures campaigns launch faster without compromising governance.
How long before I see results from paid marketing?
You'll see campaign data (clicks, impressions, cost per lead) within 48–72 hours. Meaningful results—qualified leads and conversions—typically emerge within 2–4 weeks. True attribution (which channel drives clients) requires 60–90 days of data. Patience compounds: we see dramatic ROAS improvements at month 4–6.
What's the minimum budget to start with Omakaase?
We typically recommend €2,000–€3,000/month in paid ad spend to run a meaningful multi-channel campaign (Google + LinkedIn + Facebook) in Bordeaux. Below €2,000, you won't generate enough data to optimize. We also offer a consultation package (€1,200) if you're still testing the market.
How do you measure 'lead quality'? Isn't a lead just a lead?
Not in finance. A lead from a 22-year-old looking for a loan differs from a 45-year-old HNW client seeking advisory—different CAC, different LTV. We segment leads by: demographic match (age, asset level), intent clarity (did they click the 'schedule call' button?), and conversion likelihood (past behavior). We track cost per qualified lead, not just cost per lead.
