We Scaled a Brand's Monthly Revenue by 1300% in 7 Months.
Here's how we fixed the Creative Production bottleneck
When brands hit a spending ceiling on Meta, they look at budget, product-market fit, or blame the platform.
The problem is often simpler: creative production can't keep pace with what the algorithm needs.
This is the story of how we helped Bare Bones break through that ceiling.
Bare Bones made premium Instant Bone Broth and Elevated Drink Mixes.
High-quality functional food with a loyal customer base and strong product-market fit.
When they came to us in August 2024, they were spending a few hundred dollars a month on paid media.
Ad concepts were inconsistent, with no production cadence and no testing structure.
A Small Budget, Going Nowhere
The functional food market was exploding around them. Protein powders, hydration mixes, better-for-you snacks - all competing for the same health-conscious customer with systematic acquisition engines.
Bare Bones was spending minimally with no clear path to scale.
The problem was creative production:
Ad concepts were inconsistent
No production cadence
No testing structure
Creative output couldn't keep pace with what the account needed
We Built a Creative Machine, Then Layered Everything Else On Top
We built three systems simultaneously, with creative production as the foundation.
1. Creative production cadence
Six to eight strategically distinct ad concepts every month. Not variations of the same hook - genuinely different angles.
That meant:
Founder-led content
Customer testimonials
Educational carousels explaining product benefits
Repurposed organic content timed to product launches and seasonal demand
2. Bidding strategy testing
Highest Volume, Bid Caps, Target ROAS - all running head-to-head until the data showed what worked.
Every budget increase was backed by proven creative concepts and bidding test results.
3. Full-funnel campaign mapping
The typical approach in this category: spray one audience and hope. We built separate campaigns for:
Introducing bone broth to skeptics
Educating warm audiences on benefits
Capturing high-intent buyers ready to restock
Once creative volume was flowing consistently, the bidding strategies and funnel mapping could compound on top of it.
