Paid media and creative, first year

The situation

Broad reach, thin returns

Surftech manufactures boards across several brands and models, each with its own demand, season and rider. Paid media was buying broad reach; creative was a limited in-house resource.

The question we were asked to answer: can media buying and creative production run as one system, so the team gets more output without more work?

What we did

Three moves, in order

  1. 01

    Tightened the campaign structure

    Rebuilt the account so that budget, audiences and creative follow the product line rather than the brand umbrella.

  2. 02

    Targeted model-specific demand

    Search and social campaigns per model, capturing high-intent searches and amplifying proven top products.

  3. 03

    Scaled creative output

    A parallel production model: 250+ supplemental assets across 80+ templates to expand testing velocity, support Meta placement diversity and clear bandwidth for the in-house team.
