Native + Meta

Restructured Funnel for a Mid-Market Skincare DTC Brand

Situation. A skincare brand approached us after 18 months of flat performance on Meta. The team had been running the same five creatives, the same broad audience, and the same landing page since launch. CPA had drifted 60% above target.

What we did. We rebuilt the creative system around three editorial advertorial concepts for native traffic, added Meta as a mid-funnel retargeting layer instead of cold acquisition, and rebuilt the landing page with a streamlined two-step quiz funnel. Over five months CPA dropped 42% and total monthly orders increased while spend held flat.

Google + LinkedIn

Search Restructure and New Funnel for a Vertical SaaS Company

Situation. The client had been running a single overstuffed Google Ads campaign for two years. Search-term reports showed 60% of spend going to non-buyer queries. Their demo landing page was a corporate homepage.

What we did. We split campaigns by buyer intent, built dedicated landing pages for the three highest-value verticals, layered in LinkedIn for account-based targeting, and implemented offline conversion uploads so closed-won deals fed back into Google's bidding. Qualified demos increased 3.2× within six months.

Taboola + Outbrain

Building a Profitable Native Channel for a Home-Services Lead Buyer

Situation. A home-services lead generation network wanted to add native as a third channel alongside Google and Meta. Two prior agencies had tried and failed to make Taboola work for their offer.

What we did. We built two compliant advertorial flows, set up a dedicated landing page per state, and ran a structured creative test across 12 headline + thumbnail combinations. The account hit break-even on day 41 and ran consistently profitable from month two onward.

Website + Meta + Google

Full Website Build and Launch Campaign for a New Specialty Food Brand

Situation. A founder approached us pre-launch with a strong product and zero digital infrastructure. No site, no ad accounts, no analytics, no creative system.

What we did. We built the Shopify site, set up ad accounts and pixels, produced launch creative across image and video, and ran a staged launch starting with retargeting warm audiences before opening to cold acquisition. The brand became net-positive on advertising in week 11.

— What we report

Numbers that matter, not vanity impressions.

Every case study above is built on cost per acquisition, return on ad spend, and incremental revenue. We don't report click-through rate as a primary metric. Clicks don't pay payroll.

Common measurement framework

  • Cost per acquisition (CPA) — by channel and blended
  • Return on ad spend (ROAS) — first-touch and blended
  • Incremental lift via geo-holdout tests where budget allows
  • Customer LTV and payback period (for subscription / DTC)
  • Cost per qualified lead and pipeline contribution (for B2B)
