Ads Management

Manage paid ad campaigns across TikTok, Google, and LinkedIn

Stormy's Ads Management lets you launch, monitor, and optimize paid advertising campaigns across TikTok, Google, and LinkedIn from a single dashboard. Instead of juggling three separate ad platforms with different interfaces and reporting formats, you connect your ad accounts once and manage everything through Stormy.

Why manage ads through Stormy?

Running influencer marketing campaigns often goes hand-in-hand with paid amplification. A creator posts organic content, it performs well, and you want to boost it with paid spend. Or you want to run prospecting ads alongside your creator outreach to warm up audiences before they see influencer content in their feeds.

The problem is that managing ads across three platforms means three logins, three reporting dashboards, three sets of creative specs, and three billing systems. Stormy unifies this into one place so you can:

  • Launch campaigns on TikTok, Google, and LinkedIn without leaving Stormy
  • Monitor performance across all platforms in a single view with normalized metrics
  • Optimize spend by comparing cost-per-result across platforms side by side
  • Connect ads to creator campaigns to see how paid and organic efforts work together

Supported platforms

Platform Campaign types Best for
TikTok Ads In-feed video, Spark Ads, TopView Amplifying creator UGC, reaching Gen Z and millennial audiences

Note

You need an existing ad account on each platform before connecting it to Stormy. Stormy manages campaigns through your accounts -- it does not create new ad accounts on your behalf.

Getting started

1. Connect your ad accounts

Navigate to Settings > Integrations and connect each ad platform you want to manage. You will authenticate with each platform using OAuth, which grants Stormy permission to create and manage campaigns on your behalf.

2. Create a campaign

From the Ads tab in the main navigation, click New Campaign. Select the platform, configure your targeting, upload creatives, set your budget, and launch.

3. Monitor and optimize

Once campaigns are running, the Ads dashboard shows real-time performance metrics across all platforms. Use the unified view to compare results and shift budget to whichever platform is delivering the best return.

Campaign dashboard

The Ads dashboard gives you a bird's-eye view of all active campaigns. Each row shows:

  • Campaign name and platform
  • Status -- active, paused, ended, or in review
  • Spend -- total budget consumed so far
  • Impressions -- how many times your ads were shown
  • Clicks -- total click-throughs
  • CTR -- click-through rate as a percentage
  • Conversions -- tracked conversion events (if configured)
  • CPA -- cost per acquisition
Tip

Use the date range picker to compare performance across different time periods. This is especially useful for spotting trends after you adjust targeting or swap creatives.

Connecting ads to creator campaigns

One of Stormy's most powerful features is linking paid ad campaigns to your creator lists. When you boost a creator's content using TikTok Spark Ads or run YouTube pre-roll featuring creator testimonials, you can tag the ad campaign with the relevant list. This lets you see the full picture -- organic creator performance and paid amplification -- in one report.

Warning

Pausing or deleting a campaign in Stormy will pause or delete it on the ad platform as well. These actions take effect immediately and cannot be undone from within Stormy. If you accidentally pause a campaign, you can restart it from the platform's native dashboard.

  • TikTok Ads -- set up and run TikTok advertising campaigns
