Our creative direction lead to Fatboy's growth
From Stalled Acquisition to Scalable Growth with Smarter Creative & Media Strategy
The Challenge
Unlocking Sustainable Growth
Fatboy had strong product-market fit and a loyal customer base, but struggled to scale new customer acquisition profitably. Ad account inefficiencies, rising CPAs, and a lack of creative structure were stalling momentum.
Without a reliable system for creative testing and a clear strategy for acquiring net-new customers, the brand risked plateauing — especially in a volatile paid media environment.
Our Approach
Creative-Led Growth Strategy Across Meta & Google
Over a 6-month period, we partnered with Fatboy to develop a full-funnel growth system focused on performance-driven creative, smart account architecture, and scalable media buying. Our core goals were:
Attracting a steady stream of new customers
Minimizing inefficiencies in ad spend
Supporting internal creative teams with proven frameworks
Aligning marketing outputs with broader financial goals
Key Solutions
What We Did
1. Ad Account Restructure
We rebuilt Meta and Google ad accounts using tailored campaign structures and manual bidding strategies. This reduced wasted spend and protected Fatboy against platform volatility, ensuring more stable, scalable returns.
2. Creative Direction & Testing System
We led creative strategy by identifying top-performing concepts and providing the internal team with actionable briefs. This creative direction helped generate scroll-stopping ads that didn’t just look good — they drove attention, engagement, and ultimately conversions.
3. Spend Efficiency Optimization
We restructured targeting to exclude existing customers and focus budget strictly on net-new acquisition. This reduced redundancy in spend and maximized cost-efficiency across all campaigns.
The Impact
Creative-Driven Growth That Converts
By reengineering Fatboy's creative and media buying approach, we unlocked scalable growth without inflating acquisition costs.
Our guidance not only led to improved views and engagement, but directly translated into stronger top-line growth. The creative work performed exceptionally — resonating with target audiences and reinforcing brand identity, all while supporting consistent acquisition at scale.
Final Thoughts
For Fatboy, growth wasn’t about more content or bigger budgets — it was about better creative, smarter media, and tighter strategy. By putting structure behind the storytelling, we helped transform performance and lay the foundation for long-term success.
