Creative that scales.
Audiences that convert.

A Meta Ads program built for profit, not reach — Advantage+ sales, prospecting, and retargeting on Facebook and Instagram, managed to a ROAS target, fed by a creative engine, and scaled only where the math holds.

02 — Outcomes

Spend that returns.

The moves we make on this work, and what each one is there to shift. Every engagement starts by deciding which of these actually applies to you.

Advantage+ Consolidation
DTC · Advantage+ sales
We consolidate to Advantage+, feed the Pixel + CAPI cleanly, and let the system find buyers instead of guessing audiences.
RaisesBlended ROAS
Dynamic Product Retargeting
E-comm · Retargeting
We use dynamic product retargeting off the catalog, cap frequency, and exclude recent purchasers to stop wasted impressions.
CutsCost per purchase
Broad Prospecting
DTC · Prospecting
We run broad prospecting with UGC unboxing hooks, isolate the first-order offer, and dedupe CAPI against on-site events.
GrowsFirst orders
Catalog Feed Rebuild
E-comm · Catalog
We rebuild the Commerce Manager feed, create collection ads by room, and lift signal quality with server-side events.
ImprovesCatalog ROAS
Creator Variant Testing
DTC · UGC creative
We test weekly creator-led variants against control, scale winners, and retire fatigued hooks before CPM spikes.
LowersCPM
High-Value Upsells
DTC · Lookalikes
We use value-based lookalikes off high-LTV purchasers, create bundle creative, and tie the post-purchase upsell flow back to ad audiences.

03 — Audience & delivery, live

You don't out-spend Meta.
You out-signal it.

Meta's auction rewards relevance and good signal, not raw budget — a broad audience with strong creative finds buyers cheaper than a narrow one you hand-picked. Drive the controls below and watch reach, CPM, frequency, and ROAS move with them.

04 — Anatomy of the account

Built like an account,
not a boosted post.

Structure is where the margin hides — objectives chosen on purpose, Advantage+ where it earns its keep, audiences layered Core to Lookalike, and signal flowing back through the Pixel and Conversions API. This is the room we work in every day.

05 — The growth program

Audit first.

Before a dollar moves, we read the account, the creative library, and the signal. Is the Pixel firing clean, is CAPI deduped, where is frequency fatiguing the audience, and what's the real ROAS target?

/ Week 00 · Audit
Leak3 ad sets overlapping the same audience, bidding against each other
SignalPixel + CAPI double-counting purchases, ROAS inflated 1.6×
FatigueTop creative at 4.2 frequency — CPM up, CTR collapsing
TargetSet to 3.2× ROAS — profitable at scale, not just last-click

Plan the structure.

Consolidate to Advantage+ where it earns it, keep prospecting and retargeting honest and separate. Rebuild tracking so the Conversions API carries clean, deduped events back to Meta for smarter delivery.

Creative3 hooks × 3 formats per concept · weekly refresh

Launch clean.

Live with the Conversions API verified end-to-end, sensible budgets while the system learns, and creative that stops the scroll. No black-box scaling until the box has enough conversions to learn from.

Test creative weekly.

On Meta, creative is the new targeting. New hooks against the control every week, winners scaled, fatigued ads retired before CPM spikes. The relentless loop that separates a managed account from a parked one.

/ Weeks 03–06 · Test

Scale where it holds.

Only push budget where ROAS survives the extra spend. New formats, new geos, new lookalikes — each opened as a test with a kill switch, never a leap of faith that quietly burns the month.

Report in plain English.

A weekly number you actually understand — spend, ROAS, which creative won, what changed and why, what's next. No 40-tab dashboard nobody opens; the three lines that decide whether we did our job.

06 — Why it compounds

A managed account learns.

Every cycle feeds the next: cleaner signal trains smarter delivery, fresh creative beats fatigue before CPM climbs, value-based audiences sharpen who Meta chases. Left on autopilot, an account drifts. Worked, it compounds.
