12X return on ad spend for a global D2C launch
We architected the launch playbook for a premium beauty brand entering 4 markets simultaneously — combining performance creative, audience modelling and retention loops.
Challenge
Crowded category with established players, no first-party data, and a 90-day window to prove a profitable channel mix before Series B funding closed.
Approach
- Built a 5-funnel creative testing framework with 120+ ad variants in the first 30 days.
- Stood up server-side conversions API to recover 38% of lost signal from iOS 17 changes.
- Layered Meta + TikTok + Google PMax with shared exclusion audiences and value-based bidding.
- Activated influencer-led UGC at scale — 60 creators, weekly briefs tied to top-performing hooks.
