The Challenge
This client had proven their business model and was ready to scale. They needed a lead generation partner who could maintain quality while significantly increasing volume, without costs spiralling out of control.
02
Our Approach
Scaling ads profitably requires a different approach than launching a new campaign. Here’s how we did it:
-
Step 1
Strategic Budget Allocation
We didn’t just increase spend blindly. Our approach involved:
- Testing multiple ad variations simultaneously
- Allocating budget to top performers
- Gradually scaling winning campaigns
-
Step 2
Audience Expansion
To reach 494 leads, we needed to expand beyond initial audiences:
- Built lookalike audiences at various percentages
- Tested interest-based targeting combinations
- Used retargeting to capture warm prospects
-
Step 3
Creative Rotation
At scale, ad fatigue becomes a real issue. We combated this by:
- Rotating fresh creative regularly
- Testing different formats (video, carousel, static)
- Refreshing copy and offers
03
The Results
The campaign delivered 494 leads at an average cost of $16 per lead, maintained throughout scaling.
- 494 leads generated
- $16 cost per lead maintained throughout scaling
- Three ad formats tested (video, carousel, static) with creative rotated regularly
This wasn’t a one-off result. It shows what’s achievable with consistent optimisation and strategic scaling.
