About The Client

The problem

What was holding Spade to Fork back:

Campaigns had no structure, there was no SKU-level performance data, and their previous agency couldn't lower ACoS to drive profitable growth.

ACoS climbing year over year with no clear path to fix it

Every product running the same PPC strategy regardless of margin or velocity

No SKU-level profitability tracking

Campaign structure too thin to support meaningful testing or optimization

Previous agency delivering reports with no actionable data behind them

Our approach

A Five-Step DTC Playbook

ACoS doesn't drop by accident. Every step was sequenced to cut waste, protect margin, and scale what was already working.

1

Rebuilt every listing for conversion before spending a dollar on ads

Rewrote titles, bullets, and A+ content across the full catalog. Higher CVR means every ad dollar works harder from the first click.
2

Built individual PPC campaigns per ASIN

Every product got its own campaigns, its own budget, and its own targeting logic. No shared spend, no blended data, clean SKU-level performance visibility from day one.
3

Targeted competitor ASINs to steal ready-to-buy traffic

Identified competitors with lower product ratings and higher prices. Targeted their ASINs directly and captured shoppers already in buying mode.
4

Isolated top-converting keywords into dedicated campaigns

Pulled the highest-converting search terms out of auto and broad campaigns and gave them their own dedicated campaigns using Olifant's 1-1-1-1 Scaling System. More spend on what was already working, less waste on everything else.
5

Scaled against TACoS targets across the full catalog

With profitable structure in place, we scaled, reinvesting into winning SKUs and expanding reach systematically. Ad sales up 132%. Revenue up 46%. Margin held profitable throughout.
