The Challenge

This sports nutrition brand faced a challenge that many growing businesses encounter: How do you drive profitable growth without cutting corners on quality or brand reputation?

They had a stellar product line backed by real science but needed to:

  • Acquire net new customers at scale

  • Maintain healthy margins despite rising advertising costs

  • Position their hero products in a way that resonated with real-world pain points

  • Avoid relying on bundles, discounts, or short-term tactics that can undercut LTV

In other words, they wanted to scale with substance—and that’s exactly what we helped them do.

The Strategy

Our approach centered on a full-funnel advertising strategy designed to balance growth and profitability while keeping the brand’s core values intact.

✅ New Customer Acquisition First

Unlike many brands that get stuck focusing on retargeting or loyalty-only ads, we prioritized real, sustainable growth. Over 70% of ad spend was dedicated to cold traffic campaigns—introducing the brand to new audiences and building a pipeline of first-time buyers who could become long-term customers.

✅ Hero Product Focus

Instead of spreading the budget thin, we worked with the brand to identify their three core hero products—the supplements that delivered the best results and customer feedback. We created ad assets that:

  • Highlighted the unique benefits of each product

  • Showcased the differentiators that set them apart in a crowded market

  • Emphasized real-world results

This hero product focus simplified the buying journey and ensured messaging was consistent, compelling, and conversion-optimized.

Solution-Oriented Messaging

Today’s consumer isn’t just looking for a supplement—they’re looking for a solution to real-life challenges: stress, sleep, anxiety, energy.

We shifted the narrative from “here’s what we sell” to “here’s how we help.” Every ad was designed to:

  • Identify a key pain point (e.g. “Struggling with sleep?”)

  • Offer the brand’s product as a real solution

  • Highlight the benefits and expected results customers could trust

Subscription Campaigns for Recurring Revenue

In addition to the initial purchase, we layered in subscription-focused campaigns to increase LTV. By incentivizing customers with subscribe-and-save offers, we helped build a predictable revenue stream that complemented the acquisition strategy.

The Results (First Month):

  • $1.4 Million in total revenue generated from paid ads

  • $653K in ad spend managed with strict efficiency

  • 2.2x ROAS achieved—even with a heavy focus on new customer acquisition

  • Significant lift in recurring revenue through successful subscription campaigns

The Takeaway

This brand’s success demonstrates that with the right paid advertising strategy—one that prioritizes new customer acquisition, hero product focus, and solution-driven messaging—you can achieve profitable scale even in a highly competitive market.
