The Collagen Co engaged Zephyr to scale their paid media efforts while maintaining profitability on first-purchase customer acquisition costs (CAC). At the time of onboarding, TCCs blended media spend was modest – averaging $100-$200 p/day. Our remit was to turn performance marketing into a growth engine, in alignment with the long-term commercial goals of the Collagen Co executive team. Supplement

THE CHALLENGE
The core challenge was scaling ad spend significantly without compromising unit economics or first-time purchase profitability. This required:
- A refined understanding of The Collagen Co’s margins and breakeven CAC thresholds
- Accurate conversation tracking across multiple channels & touch-points
- Confidence in attribution before making scaling decisions
- Smarter content production to reduce inefficient creative testing

THE OUTCOME
By month 4 of engagement, we had successfully scaled blended ad spend from ~$200 p/day to over $4,000 p/day ($100k+ spend p/month) while maintaining profitability on first purchase. Capital deployed across the creative function of the brand was met with efficiency & was performance-led, moreover decision making across the digital ecosystem was powered by highly accurate, real-time data.
