About The Client

A premium plant-based protein & supplements brand

LyfeFuel makes nutrient-dense, plant-based supplements from ethically sourced ingredients.

Trusted by health-conscious customers, its product line, including the Daily Essentials Shake and Recovery Shake, is formulated to support long-term health.

The problem

What was holding LyfeFuel back?

Bigger competitors with cheaper products dominated the category. 

Meta account banned, acquisition channel cut off

CPAs too high to scale profitably

Larger competitors winning on price with bigger budgets

Low conversion despite superior product quality

Premium positioning not translating to sales

Our approach

A five-step DTC playbook

LyfeFuel had a superior product and a banned Meta account. Olifant Digital reinstated the account, rebuilt customer acquisition from scratch, and scaled past bigger competitors

1

Recovered and reinstated the banned Meta account 

Following Meta's reinstatement process, we successfully brought its primary acquisition channel online again. Revenue recovery started as soon as the account was live.
2

Researched buyers across Reddit, Quora, and social

Before producing a single creative asset, we first mapped how health-conscious buyers talk about supplements online. Their real language, objections, and motivations fed straight into the messaging.
3

Built comparison funnels against larger competitors

We built funnels that answered the price objection before customers reached the cart, educating them on why LyfeFuel costs more and what that buys. That positioning let LyfeFuel compete directly against Ka'chava, Huel, and AG1, brands with far bigger budgets.
4

Drove profitable growth from cold traffic 

We built performance creatives that lead with premium value in the first scroll to target buyers who've never heard of LyfeFuel. These value-focused creatives converted cold audiences efficiently and pushed new-to-brand CPA to a record low as we scaled spend.
5

Scaled past bigger, cheaper competitors 

We pushed spend as the funnel proved profitable and kept acquisition efficient through the growth. Revenue climbed $250K a month and LyfeFuel outsold larger competitors without cutting prices.
