The Challenge: Stagnant Performance

When we took over in June 2025, the account had been underperforming for years. Despite a compelling product, the ads had never broken 2.20x ROAS.

📉
Years of Stagnation

Historic average sat at just 2.17x ROAS for years with no meaningful improvement.

🏗️
Weak Campaign Structure

Poorly organised campaigns with no clear intent segmentation or bidding logic.

The ROAS Ceiling

Budget increases had historically triggered performance drops, keeping the brand stuck.

💰
Missed Potential

A broad, gift-friendly catalogue was leaving significant revenue on the table.

Our Approach: Rebuild & Scale

  • 1. Full Account Audit Identified the “rot” first: weak structure and poor intent segmentation.
  • 2. Strip Out the Weakness Removed underperforming campaigns and bloated keyword lists generating waste.
  • 3. Intent-Based Architecture Rebuilt around clear intent: branded search, category intent, and optimized Shopping.
  • 4. Strategic Scaling Budget only increased when sustained performance justified it. No “spray and pray.”
  • 5. Performance Cadence Multi-day reviews to prevent problems from compounding and keep the account growing.
