The challenge

Ad spend had scaled faster than measurement: budgets tripled, attribution stayed a shrug, and every channel took credit for the same customers in their own dashboards.

Creative was one video and a hope. Fatigue set in quarterly, CPAs crept upward, and the monthly report was a masterclass in confident vagueness.

The approach

We rebuilt measurement first: server-side tracking, a single source of truth per metric, and channel reports in cost-per-acquired-customer units the CFO could compare honestly.

Creative became a system: testing sprints with hypotheses, hooks from customer language, and a fatigue-based rotation cadence — volume with a method, not a factory.

Lifecycle flows shipped in revenue order: abandonment, post-purchase, replenishment, winback — with suppressions so customers hear a person, not a trigger.

  • Channel diversification plan with budget-shift milestones
  • Segment infrastructure: RFM, engagement, and suppression lists
  • Measurement rebuild: server-side tracking, one dashboard of record
  • Lifecycle email flows in revenue order with suppressions
