Advertising CBD products online is always a challenge, but the challenge is even bigger when a brand has a smaller budget they wish to scale as sales grow. Mad Ritual wanted to raise brand awareness and drive sales without risking the long-term viability of brand assets, particularly on Facebook, by triggering ad violations.

As the marketing strategist, I've overseen development of all ad campaigns and channel testing as we have navigated the shifting editorial landscape for CBD and hemp. Testing is key. Audience expansion beyond the primary "athlete" target most CBD topical companies go after was also essential to delivering a positive ROAS. Ad language is cheeky. We encourage people to 'get naked' to enjoy the bath bombs. The topical carries the tagline 'recover like a rebel'. Our current marketing mix is a blend of landing page strategies with user generated content, reviews and highlighted benefits speaking to 'anybody with a body'.
