The Challenge: Ad Fatigue & High CAC

Client was stuck in a high-CAC, low-ROAS cycle. Static imagery led to ad fatigue, and a complicated mobile checkout flow saw 75% cart abandonment. They lacked a consistent, scalable creative pipeline.

  • - Reliance on 1st party audience data.
  • - High CPMs due to low creative freshness.
  • - Mobile CVR below 1.5%.

The Framework: Social Commerce Engine

We implemented the three-pillar "Social Commerce Engine": **Authentic Content Generation (Influencer)**, **Scale (Meta Ads)**, and **Monetization (CRO)**. This approach focused on trust and velocity.

Meta Ads: UGC-Powered Testing

Influencer: Routine-Based Trust Building

CRO: Frictionless Mobile Purchase
