MealEnders Cravings Control lozenges (initially called MealEnders Signaling Lozenges) were launched in October 2014. With the exception of one PR hit that drove significant sales, their marketing efforts (primarily a dietitians convention, google ads, facebook ads, paid blog placements, and PR) were not resulting in cost-effective acquisition.
After fully taking over marketing for MealEnders in May 2015, I increased sales almost 5x in the second half of the year versus the first half, then 160% from year 1 to year 2, and 190% from year 2 to year 3. Growth was driven primarily by: 1) Personally scaling Facebook advertising from $5000 to 6-figures/month while reducing cost per acquisition (while fine-tuning the brand messaging), 2) launching/growing sales on Amazon, and 3) Launching an Email marketing program (and opt-in strategy) that increased repurchase rate by almost 80% and more than doubled the percentage of sales driven by email in 3 years even with tremendous topline growth. I also helped to secure and then leveraged an appearance on Shark Tank leading to over $500K in sales within 2 weeks following the airing, and several hundred thousand more in the following months.

The customer's main challenge was not being able to deliver a profitable ROAS on Facebook and Instagram, despite their core audiences being present there, especially on Instagram. There was a lot of engagement that did not result in sales.
Their ROAS was stuck at around 50% (0.5 : 1).
Of note, the Northern Hemisphere was heading into spring, which is their busiest time, with 90% of their sales coming from the US, Europe and the Middle East, so it was important to see results very quickly.
PROBLEM:The brand was new to Facebook advertising and had never run Facebook ads before. They had a Facebook page and posted to it occasionally. They wanted to increase sales by tapping into a new digital marketing channel.
