Paid social & creative strategy — DTC brands

A plateau isn't a performance problem. It's a coverage problem.

You're reaching a fraction of your market and calling it your ceiling. We map who you're not speaking to yet — and build the creative to reach them.

Map the market Cover the gaps A system, not guesswork
What changes

From a fraction to the whole market.

You're not buying more ad sets. You're buying a wider footprint — a clear picture of the buyers, stages and messages you haven't reached yet, and the creative to go claim them.

TodayOne story, told to the one buyer you already know how to reach.
AfterEvery buyer your product has, reached where they already are.
TodayGuesswork about what to make next.
AfterA map of what to test and why — so nothing is a shot in the dark.
TodayA ceiling that was never really the market's edge.
AfterReal room to grow — because the market was always bigger.
How we work

We start with the map, not the ads.

Before touching an ad, we chart the full market your product could own — every kind of buyer, every stage of intent, every reason to care. Most of that territory is sitting uncovered. Then we produce the creative to cover the gaps and scale what proves out, so growth comes from claiming new ground, not squeezing the ground you already hold.

The engine:  Persona × Angle × Concept × Awareness

The system

Two halves of one machine.

Most brands run one well and neglect the other — pouring budget into finding new customers while the ones they already paid for quietly slip away. Coverage isn't only about reaching the whole market. It's about holding on to it.

01Acquire

Create the intent. Then convert it.

Paid social does the hard part — reaching people who weren't looking for you yet, giving them a reason to care, and turning that attention into a first order.

02Retain

Then make them come back.

Email and retention turn that first order into a second, a third, a habit — the part that decides whether acquisition was ever worth what you paid for it.

Email · flows & lifecycle

Ads buy the customer. Retention decides what they were worth.

We only win when you outgrow your own trajectory.

A fixed base covers the work. On top of it, we take a share of the incremental revenue — but only the part that beats where you were already heading.

The bar is set from your own numbers: each month measured against the same month last year, adjusted for your historical growth rate. Growth you would have had anyway doesn't count. We're paid on the gap above it.

The hurdle:  same month last year  +  your historical growth  =  the line to beat
Q4 · Peak season

When the system matters most.

The season the whole year rests on.

Q4 concentrates months of demand into weeks — which means every gap in coverage costs more, and every retained customer is worth more. We run the same two-step system at peak intensity, with the creative and the flows built well before the traffic arrives.

Who it's for

Who this is for.

Right fit
  • Established DTC or ecommerce brand selling to English-speaking markets
  • Past validation — spending to grow, and the plateau is real
  • You suspect you're reaching a fraction of your real market
  • You'll let creative be the lever, not just “run the ads”
Not a fit
  • Pre-revenue or still validating the product
  • Dropshipping or thin-margin arbitrage plays
  • Chasing a magic audience instead of a better message
  • Want a button-pusher who won't touch the creative
Who's behind it
GaroFounder — Direct to Scale

I read a P&L before I read a dashboard.

Years as an operator — DTC e-commerce and a family import/export business — taught me the only numbers that matter are the ones that pay back. That's the lens I bring to paid social: I look at a brand and see the market it isn't covering yet — then build the plan to go take it.

I don't sell growth as a slogan. I sell judgment about what to make and what to scale — and the discipline to kill what only looks good in the dashboard.
