THE PROBLEM

The brand had previously been let down by agencies and needed a trusted partner to rebuild paid media from the ground up. Growth needed to be profitable and controlled, with strict attention to margins and KPIs at every stage, rather than aggressive scaling that risked loss-making performance.

WHAT WE DID

1. Collaborative, trust-led partnership structure
We worked closely with the brand from the outset, ensuring transparent communication and consistent strategic input at every stage.

2. High-converting static ad creative development
We designed and tested static ad formats tailored to the brand’s audience and product range, focused on clear, conversion-led messaging.

3. Margin-led scaling framework
We calculated profit margins, budgets and KPIs before each scaling decision to ensure every stage of growth remained profitable.

4. Klaviyo email strategy for retention revenue
We built automated flows and campaign systems that consistently drove repeat purchases and contributed a significant share of total revenue.

5. Controlled Meta Ads scaling with continuous testing
We scaled Meta Ads progressively, using ongoing creative testing and performance analysis to guide every optimisation decision.
