across Instagram and TikTok

The challenge

Paid media performance had plateaued and the obvious growth opportunities were running out.

The approach

  1. Shifted media investment into opportunity markets where growth was still available.

  2. Moved creative from polished brand assets to user-generated content, which fit how people actually use these platforms.

  3. Continuously optimized the media mix rather than setting it and leaving it.

The results

  • Improved iMER from less than 0.1 to more than 2.0
  • Increased efficiency across Instagram and TikTok

Paid media stuck?
