THE PROBLEM

When Balance Me came to Generate Agency, they had already worked with another paid media agency that was not delivering meaningful commercial growth. Budget was being spent and reports were being sent, but revenue was not responding in line with the brand’s potential. The deeper issue was measurement. Performance was being judged using platform-reported attribution from Meta and Google, which created an inflated picture of results and made it difficult to understand what each channel was genuinely contributing. Without an independent source of truth, there was no reliable basis for scaling spend, improving efficiency, or making confident acquisition decisions. They needed a paid acquisition system built on accurate tracking, clear decision-making, and channel accountability.

WHAT WE DID

1. Audit & diagnosis
Implemented Triple Whale as the single source of truth across Meta and Google Ads to establish a clean, unbiased performance baseline and understand what the existing campaigns were actually delivering.

2. Paid acquisition architecture
Restructured both Meta and Google campaigns around channel roles. Meta was built to prioritise new customer acquisition, while Google was optimised to capture high-intent demand efficiently.

3. Tracking-led budget allocation
Shifted budget based on Triple Whale data rather than platform claims. Weekly decisions were made according to actual contribution, not inflated attribution or platform recommendations.

4. Ongoing optimisation
Reviewed performance every week across both channels, identifying underperformance early and scaling into the campaigns, audiences, and offers that were delivering the strongest commercial return.

5. Quarter-on-quarter compounding
Used Q1 to build the foundation, Q2 to accelerate growth, and Q3 to convert accurate measurement and consistent optimisation into stronger efficiency and the brand’s first £100k month of the engagement.

THE RESULTS

Revenue growth
  • Revenue growth from Q1 to Q2: +70%
  • May store revenue: £106k vs £93k target (+14%)
  • August store revenue: £100k+, the first month of the engagement to pass that milestone
Paid efficiency
  • Google ROAS remained above 3x across all active Q2 weeks
  • Peak Meta ROAS reached 9.2x in the week of 27 May to 2 June
  • July blended ROAS reached 8.33x

Sales performance
  • Total sales across all three quarters: 7,745
  • Q1 sales: 2,680
  • Q2 sales: 5,065
  • Q3 sales: 3,146
Measurement and attribution
  • Triple Whale showed Meta and Google as distinct contributors to the customer journey, avoiding overlapping attribution
  • New customer acquisition improved quarter on quarter as campaigns matured
  • Spend efficiency improved over time, with stronger performance in Q3 than in Q1
