The challenge

Where we started

The challenge was twofold. They needed to aggressively reach brand-new audiences to build top-of-funnel awareness, but they also needed a rigid conversion mechanism to ensure that awareness translated into measurable, high-ticket sales.

The goals

What we focused on

The strategy

A two-strand Meta campaign

To overcome the friction of premium pricing and delayed shipping on pre-orders, we implemented a full-funnel, two-strand Meta campaign designed to attract, educate, and rapidly convert new audiences.

  1. 01

    Educate & build trust

    Strategic boosting of educational content drove highly cost-effective traffic to the site. This built foundational brand trust and justified the luxury price point.

  2. 02

    Convert high-intent buyers

    A direct-response sales campaign, overlaying interest-based targeting with aggressive retargeting of the warm traffic generated in strand one.
