Client Overview

Our client is a direct-to-consumer fashion brand specializing in sustainable clothing for women. Founded in 2020, they had experienced moderate growth through organic social media and word-of-mouth, but were struggling to scale their business profitably through paid advertising.

With a unique product line and strong brand values around sustainability, they had a compelling story to tell but needed help reaching the right audience and converting visitors into customers.

The Challenge

When the client approached us, they were facing several key challenges:

Low ROAS (1.4x) on their existing Meta Ads campaigns
High cost per acquisition that made scaling unprofitable
Poor targeting that wasn't reaching their ideal customer profile
Ad creative that wasn't effectively communicating their brand value proposition
Limited use of Meta's advanced features and optimization tools

The client had a monthly ad budget of $50,000 but was struggling to generate a positive ROI. They needed a comprehensive strategy overhaul to make their advertising profitable and scalable.

Our Strategy

After a thorough audit of the client's existing campaigns, website, and customer data, we developed a comprehensive Meta Ads strategy focused on:

1. Audience Refinement

We completely restructured the client's audience targeting approach:

Created detailed customer personas based on existing customer data
Developed lookalike audiences from the top 1%, 3%, and 5% of customers by lifetime value
Implemented interest-based targeting focused on sustainability and ethical fashion
Set up retargeting campaigns with dynamic product ads for different stages of the funnel

2. Creative Optimization

We revamped the client's ad creative strategy:

Developed a consistent visual identity across all ad formats
Created storytelling-focused video content highlighting the brand's sustainability mission
Implemented user-generated content featuring real customers
A/B tested multiple ad formats, headlines, and calls-to-action

3. Campaign Structure Optimization

We rebuilt the campaign architecture from the ground up:

Implemented a full-funnel approach with dedicated campaigns for awareness, consideration, and conversion
Utilized Campaign Budget Optimization (CBO) to dynamically allocate budget to the best-performing ad sets
Set up automated rules to pause underperforming ads and scale winning creatives
Implemented conversion API alongside the Facebook pixel for improved tracking accuracy

Implementation

We executed our strategy in phases over a 90-day period:

Phase 1: Audit and Restructure (Days 1-15)

We conducted a comprehensive audit of existing campaigns, implemented proper tracking, and developed the new campaign structure while continuing to run existing campaigns to maintain revenue.

Phase 2: Testing and Optimization (Days 16-45)

We launched the new campaign structure with multiple audience and creative variations, conducting rigorous A/B testing to identify the highest-performing combinations.

Phase 3: Scaling (Days 46-90)

Based on the data from our testing phase, we scaled the budget for winning campaigns, refined our targeting further, and implemented advanced optimization strategies.

Our strategy delivered exceptional results for the client:

Audience quality trumps quantity - Focusing on high-value customer segments delivered better results than broad targeting
Creative storytelling matters - Ads that communicated the brand's values outperformed product-focused ads
Full-funnel approach is essential - Building awareness and consideration campaigns supported conversion performance
