How We Started

Initial Account Assessment

We began with a deep analysis of the account and identified full dependency on Meta with fatigued creatives running for over 14 days

Phase 1: Testing & Data Collection

Built a structured testing framework for Arabic and English creatives, tested placements, and collected performance data before scaling decisions

Phase 2: Rollout of Winning Campaigns

Launched catalogue campaigns for Ramadan and top sellers, supported by a structured ABO setup with 3 Broad, 3 Engaged Shopper, and 3 Lookalike audiences campaigns

Strategic Shift

Moved from immediate scaling to an experiment-first approach to optimize before budget expansion

What We Did

Deep Audit & Forecasting

Conducted a full account audit and set clear Ramadan performance forecasts and targets

Testing & Asset Validation

Tested existing creatives to identify winners and optimized ad copy and placements

Full-Funnel Catalogue Strategy

Rolled out catalogue campaigns for Ramadan and top sellers with structured ABO segmentation

Daily Optimization & Cost Control

Reduced CPP by nearly 50% through daily optimization while maintaining ROAS and increasing order volume

AOV Growth via Bundling

Increased AOV by 50% through custom bundles and Ramadan offers

Segmentation & Retargeting Expansion

Launched segmentation and split tests, expanded retargeting and Lookalike audiences, and opened Google Shopping and TikTok to reduce Meta dependency

Scaling & Final Outcome

Budgets were increased only on winning creatives, audiences, and placements to maintain ROAS stability
Catalogue campaigns reduced costs by over 60% and enabled diversified targeting across cold and retargeting audiences
Ramadan bundles and top sellers increased AOV by 50%, boosting total revenue
ROAS stabilized at 3.0, CPP was cut by nearly 50%, and a scalable structure was established

Sometimes Growth Is Not About Rebuilding Everything From Scratch

It’s about testing wider, reading the data correctly, and letting performance show you where to scale next
