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
SERVICE LIST
  • Paid Media Management (Meta, Google, TT)
  • Attribution Setup & Third-Party Tracking
  • Conversion Rate Optimisation Consulting
  • Creative Strategy & Content Consultation
  • Founder & Internal Team Collaboration
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. Our work contributed not only to short-term growth but aligned with the brand’s broader goals of scalability and valuation uplift in preparation for exit strategy.
