Project Overview

Australia, United States and European
eCommerce

eKnives is a leading premium knives, outdoor gear, and everyday carry (EDC) brand based in the United States. While the business had an established customer base and consistent monthly sales, revenue growth had become stagnant.

The objective was to transform paid advertising into a scalable growth engine capable of increasing revenue without sacrificing advertising efficiency or profitability.

Meta Ads Strategy
Campaign Restructuring
Creative Testing
Audience Optimization
Conversion Tracking
Performance Marketing

The Challenge

Despite generating revenue, the business faced several growth constraints that limited its ability to scale.

Monthly revenue had become static at around $90K.
The existing campaign structure was limiting Meta’s optimization potential.
The advertising budget wasn’t being allocated efficiently across campaigns.
Customer acquisition costs were increasing while scaling opportunities remained untapped.
Creative fatigue and audience saturation were reducing campaign efficiency.
The business needed a repeatable framework for profitable growth and not short-term spikes.

Growth Strategy

I redesigned the advertising strategy around scalable performance principles. Every upgrade decision was driven by measurable business outcomes.

Rebuilding the Meta Ads account structure
Implementing continuous creative testing
Consolidating campaigns
Optimizing campaign budgets for maximum efficiency
Refining audience targeting and segmentation
Strengthening conversion tracking and attribution
Introducing a structured scaling framework based on performance data

Execution

Execution focused on improving every stage of the paid acquisition process through continuous optimization and data-backed decision-making.

Reorganized campaign architecture to improve learning and delivery.
Tested multiple creative concepts, messaging angles, and ad formats to identify top-performing assets.
Refined audience targeting using prospecting, retargeting, and lookalike strategies.
Optimized budget allocation toward high-performing campaigns while eliminating inefficient spend.
Monitored key metrics including ROAS, CPA, CPC, CPM, CTR, and conversion rate to guide scaling decisions.

Source context & original account evidence

Meta Ads Manager · Oct 2021–Nov 2024. Platform-reported purchase value and ROAS; attribution window not stated.

Maximum: Oct 6, 2021 to Nov 6, 2024, the date range printed on the deck's own Ads Manager screenshot. The deck's results page separately captions figures as single-month and 30-day without dating either.

The supplied design’s figures are reproduced as provided. They may differ from the account screenshot. Business revenue and platform-attributed conversion value are separate measures.

Amount spent, total: $1,132,929.80: The Total spent figure on the totals row of the Ads Manager Campaigns table. Meta spend on this one account only. The screenshot prints a bare $ with no currency code, so the currency is not stated on the deck. The ten visible campaign rows sum to $908,691.22, so the total includes campaigns below the scroll that are not shown.
Source: Meta Ads Manager screenshot, deck page 2, totals row
Attribution: Not applicable. Spend is a billed amount, not an attributed conversion.
Purchases conversion value, total: $6,199,860.30: Meta-reported purchase conversion value as printed on the totals row. The deck does not say whether this is gross or net of refunds, and it is platform-attributed value rather than total-business revenue. The column header is truncated to "Purchases conversion..." in the crop, and the figure carries Meta's [2] attribution-footnote superscript whose footnote text is not reproduced anywhere in the deck. This is the figure behind the cover badge's "$6M+ Generated".

Attribution: Not stated on the source deck.
Purchase ROAS, account average: 5.47: The Average sublabel under the Purchase ROAS (return on ad spend) column on the totals row, as printed. Platform-reported return, not MER and not contribution margin. The header is truncated in the crop and the figure carries the [2] attribution-footnote superscript, footnote not shown. Note that the deck's own results page on page 8 claims 6x, which this screenshot does not support.

Meta purchases, total: 7,879: The Meta purchases column total as printed. The deck does not define the event behind it or say whether it counts purchases or purchase events. The ten visible rows sum to 6,580, so the total includes rows below the scroll.
Source: Meta Ads Manager screenshot, deck page 2, totals row
Attribution: Not stated on the source deck.
Cost per purchase: $13.45: Printed on the totals row under the sublabel "Per Action". Currency code not stated. Carries the [2] attribution-footnote superscript, footnote not shown. This is a platform cost per reported purchase, not a cost per new customer.

Website purchases conversion value, total: $3,731,578.45: One of several separate conversion-value columns printed on the same totals row. The deck does not state that these columns decompose the $6,199,860.30 total, and the printed figures do not sum to it. Header truncated to "Website purchases..." in the crop; carries the [2] attribution-footnote superscript, footnote not shown. The deck does not define how this column relates to the Direct website and Shops-assisted columns beside it. I computed that the printed Direct website ($3,456,257.16) and Shops-assisted ($275,321.29) figures sum exactly to this value; the deck does not say they are components of it.

Direct website conversion value, total: $3,456,257.16: Printed on the totals row. Header truncated to "Direct website..." in the crop, so the full metric name is not shown on the deck and the definition of "direct" here is Meta's, not stated.

Attribution: Not stated on the source deck.
Shops-assisted conversion value, total: $275,321.29: Printed on the totals row. Header truncated to "Shops-assisted..." in the crop. Included here because it shows part of the reported value did not come through the website checkout, which matters if you are comparing this against a store analytics figure.

Attribution: Not stated on the source deck.
Meta purchase conversion value, total: $499,004.25: Printed on the totals row. Header truncated to "Meta purchase conversion..." in the crop, so the full metric name is not shown. The deck does not explain how this column overlaps with the purchases conversion value total above.

Attribution: Not stated on the source deck.
Unlabelled count column, total: 43,934: A count column whose header is clipped by the screenshot's horizontal scroll, so the metric is undefined on the page. It is published here unlabelled on purpose. The deck's page 8 prints "43,000+ Orders processed in 30 days", which appears to be a rounding of this three-year dashboard total; I cannot confirm that and the deck does not state it. The ten visible rows sum to 31,883.

Reporting window on the proof screenshot: Maximum: Oct 6, 2021 – Nov 6, 2024: The text in the date selector at the top right of the Ads Manager window. Every figure in the page 2 table is cumulative over this range. Nothing in the deck gives a narrower before-and-after window, a start date for the engagement, or a date for any figure on page 8.

Attribution: Not applicable. This row is the window itself.
Purchase ROAS range across the ten visible campaign rows: 3.88 to 9.65: The lowest and highest of the ten Purchase ROAS values printed on the visible campaign rows. Both are printed figures read off the screenshot, not a calculation. The ten rows are not the whole account: rows exist below the scroll, and the campaign names are deliberately blurred.

Attribution: Not stated on the source deck.
Daily budget range across the visible campaign rows: $40.00 to $400.00: The lowest and highest Budget values printed on the visible rows, both carrying the sublabel "Daily". Both are printed figures, not a calculation. No Budget total is shown, and the bottom row is clipped so its Daily sublabel is not visible.
Source: Meta Ads Manager screenshot, deck page 2, campaign rows
Attribution: Not applicable. A budget is a setting, not an attributed conversion.
Monthly revenue at the plateau: around $90K: Stated in the deck's challenge section as "Monthly revenue had become static at around $90K". The hedge is the deck's own. No months are named, no source system is given, and the deck does not say whether this is total-business revenue or Meta-attributed value. There is no screenshot behind it.
