Platform ROAS said fine. The bank account said otherwise, until blended CAC dropped 31%.
The problem: a skincare brand scaling spend into a funnel that leaked, winning ad metrics, flat contribution margin, and a dashboard that couldn't explain why.
What we ran: angle mining from reviews, weekly AI UGC test batches, click-matched landing pages, and a post-purchase flow that moved buyers to subscription.
"1,400 creative variants sounded like overkill until the third wave found a hook that cut our CAC 31%. It's still running eight months later."
