The challenge

Starting from absolute zero.

A UK-based collagen brand with no previous ad activity, a brand new Meta ad account and pixel, and a small daily budget. No structured offers, limited product page clarity, and no data to guide decision-making.

The goal: launch ads and quickly understand what was actually working. Without burning budget on guesswork.

Challenges going in

01No historical data or optimisation signals
02Limited budget restricting early learning
03No clear offer to support conversion
04Stock constraints requiring careful scaling

What I did

Work across ads, ecommerce
and conversion.

01

Paid Ads and Strategy

Set up and launched Meta ads from scratch. Used Add to Cart optimisation to generate early data, then transitioned to Purchase optimisation. Identified creative engagement (CTR) as the key constraint.

02

Ecommerce and Conversion

Restructured product collections, created a bundle offer to increase average order value, refined product page messaging, and advised on pricing for a new product launch.

03

Tracking and Systems

Implemented improved tracking including Microsoft Clarity, and introduced wholesale functionality to streamline supplier management.

04

Commercial Sounding Board

Reviewed packaging, advised on clarity and consistency, and provided practical input across product, pricing and positioning decisions.

Results

What we achieved in four weeks.

01
Initial sales from cold traffic

Sales generated without any warm audience, retargeting or existing pixel data.

02
Working conversion funnel established

A full acquisition funnel built and validated within the four-week window.

03
Commercially viable cost per purchase

Even at low spend, the cost per purchase was within a profitable range.

04
Clear bottleneck identified with a plan to fix it

Ad creative engagement was the limiting factor. A structured relaunch plan put in place.

"The product and website were working. The bottleneck was ad engagement. Once identified, the path to scale was clear."

The funnel is proven. The next phase focuses on stronger creatives and scaling what is already working.
