The challenge

Unlock profitable TikTok growth while iOS 14 privacy changes pressured Meta efficiency, which meant building a new platform strategy from scratch.

Our approach

  1. High-velocity creative sprints

    Weekly sprints of 10 to 15 variants: UGC-style content, celebrity-adjacent looks and micro-story product showcases made for TikTok.

  2. Performance optimization system

    A hook and angle matrix with fatigue tracking, refresh cadence rules and fast scaling once campaigns cleared learning.

  3. Cultural relevance

    Sports partnerships and cultural moments turned into timely content across every licensed league.
