Case study

Paid social creative that moved inventory — not just impressions.

A fashion retailer with six stores was burning budget on generic catalog ads. We rebuilt their paid social program around seasonal drops, UGC-style creative, and audience tiers tied to margin — turning scroll-stoppers into measurable online and in-store sales.

Client: Multi-location apparel retailer

The challenge

Where they started

The client's in-house team was boosting product posts without a testing framework. Creative fatigue set in within two weeks of each campaign, and performance varied wildly between locations. Seasonal collections launched late because asset production couldn't keep pace with merchandising.

  • Catalog ads looked identical to competitors — no distinct brand voice in the feed
  • No separation between prospecting and retargeting creative, inflating CAC on cold audiences
  • Store-level promotions weren't reflected in ad copy until days after in-store signage went up
  • UGC and influencer content sat unused because it wasn't formatted for paid placements
  • Reporting showed clicks and reach, but leadership couldn't tie spend to sell-through by collection

Our approach

What we did

01

Audit & audience map

Reviewed 90 days of account history, margin by category, and store catchment data to define prospecting, retargeting, and loyalty tiers.

02

Creative system build

Designed modular templates for drops, sale events, and evergreen staples — with hooks, overlays, and CTA variants for rapid A/B testing.

03

Production sprints

Shot on-location content and repurposed UGC into 9:16 and 1:1 formats. Each drop shipped with three hook variants before launch day.

04

Optimize & scale

Weekly creative refresh cycles, budget shifts toward winning hooks, and store-level reporting tied to POS promo codes.
