From Plateau to Performance: How We Scaled an Apparel Brand Profitably in 90 Days

This brand had strong products and repeat buyers, but growth had stalled. Paid media was becoming expensive, conversion rates were flat, and reporting was inconsistent across channels. We rebuilt the acquisition engine from tracking to creative to landing flow, then scaled spend with strict profitability controls.

The Challenge

Growth Was Expensive and Unreliable

Despite strong product-market fit, the account had four major blockers: incomplete tracking, broad targeting, creative fatigue, and low-converting collection pages. As spend increased, CPA climbed disproportionately and masked profitable pockets.

  • 01Tracking mismatch between platform-reported and analytics revenue.
  • 02No stable testing framework, causing random creative and audience changes.
  • 03Collection pages optimized for aesthetics, not conversion flow.
  • 04Budget allocation ignored margin by SKU and seasonality windows.
