27 paid social memes that remind advertisers they're not alone

To all Paid Social Experts, Digital Marketers, Social Media Advertisers, Managers, and more, you’re not alone!

The world of social media is a vast one filled with ups, downs, rights, lefts, traffic, conversions, unnecessary campaign objectives, bad targeting, and also lots of fun.

So today, we’ve compiled our best paid social memes to give you guys and gals a big boost of confidence.

If that doesn’t work then we hope it’ll at least make you laugh out loud. Because what better way to cheer up the community than with a blog full of memes? Enjoy!

1. Creativity comes when it wants to.
Inception: Once an idea has taken hold of the brain, it's almost impossible to eradicate

You never know when a great idea is gonna hit. In this meme from Inception (2010), we’re reminded that when a good one takes form in our minds, our advertising brain cells won’t allow it to leave.

2. BeReal has entered the chat.

The new app is slowly taking over the world of social media, and because it’s such a fresh and creative concept, we might just see Meta use the same feature on their family of apps in the future.

3. When Facebook targeting lets you down.

4. YouTube bringing hope to Paid Social Advertisers.

With free TV comes room for more ad placements! Yes, that means there’ll be more opportunities for your paid social ads to thrive on the platform. Thank you, YouTube. Looking forward to it.

5. TikTok vs. Instagram Reels part 1.

In our Oscar memes compilation post, we highlight the competition between TikTok and Instagram Reels. Is there really a difference? Not much, which is why it’s so much fun to compare the two. Both are excellent platforms gaining the most traffic online, so keeping up with trends from their respective apps is essential for good advertising.

6. And yes, we’ve got Will Smith memes too.

We couldn’t help it. With Elon Musk trending in the same month, it was a meme waiting to happen.

7. Looking back on past advertising mistakes. A.K.A. microtargeting.

9. With great ad automation, comes great advantage.

3 Spidermans pointing at each other
Arguably one of the most famous memes on the internet is the 3 Spidermans? Spidermen? pointing at each other. But with the release of Spiderman: No Way Home in December, we got the live action version of that image. So, we couldn’t resist applying it to Meta’s latest ad automation update.
