Summary In 15 months of collaboration with a clothing brand, we achieved impressive results through an integrated Meta Ads and Google Ads strategy. With a total investment of €228,924.66 , the brand generated €1,033,606.79 in sales . This case study details the approach used and the challenges faced by the brand before our intervention, as well as the robust results we obtained on each platform. Total Results Total Investment in Meta Ads and Google Ads : €228,924.66 Sales Generated : €1,033,606.79 Total Number of Sales : 16,311 Global Average ROAS : 451% Initial Brand Problems Before starting to work with us, the clothing brand faced several challenges that prevented it from scaling its business and optimizing its investments in digital advertising: Lack of Clarity in KPIs : The brand did not have a clear understanding of its key performance indicators (KPIs). It did not know its breakeven CPA or its breakeven ROAS, which resulted in misdirected investments and poor strategic decisions. High Cost Per Acquisition (CPA) : The cost per new customer acquisition was high, which made it difficult to keep campaigns profitable in the long term. Inefficient Audience Segmentation : The brand was not targeting its ads correctly, resulting in poorly optimized campaigns reaching unqualified audiences and generating lots of impressions but few conversions. Lack of Multichannel Strategy : The brand was relying heavily on a single advertising platform (Meta Ads) and was not leveraging the potential of other channels, such as Google Ads, to increase its reach and diversify its results. Weak Sales Funnel Structure : There was no clear approach to capturing leads at different stages of the sales funnel. There were no separate campaigns for top, middle, and bottom of the funnel, which resulted in inconsistent communication with prospects. Our Approach After an in-depth analysis of the brand’s situation, we defined a solid performance marketing strategy, structured in Meta Ads and Google Ads , focused on optimizing campaigns, segmenting audiences and ensuring sustainable growth. Here is a summary of our approach: 1. Defining KPIs and Clear Goals We started by defining the crucial KPIs to guide all marketing decisions: Breakeven CPA : €41.75 Breakeven ROAS : 1.56 Target CPA : €22.25 Target ROAS : 2.92 These indicators allowed us to monitor and adjust campaigns efficiently, ensuring that goals were achieved with minimal budget waste. 2. Integrated Multichannel Strategy We divided the strategy into two main channels: Meta Ads : We focused most of our investment on full-funnel campaigns (prospecting, retargeting and cart recovery), testing different creatives, audiences and targeting to maximize return. Google Ads : We implemented a parallel strategy, using search campaigns and Google Shopping , which complemented the Meta Ads campaigns, capturing users with high purchase intent. 3. Detailed Audience Segmentation We created highly targeted audiences based on customer behavior and interests. In Meta Ads, we used Lookalike Audiences based on the brand's most valuable customers and behavioral targeting to optimize retargeting. In Google Ads , we focused on high-converting keywords and adjusted bids based on performance by device and location, maximizing return on search campaigns. 4. Continuous Ad Optimization We launched a variety of creatives (images, videos, and carousels) in Meta Ads and tested different ad formats on Google, including Google Shopping and Search campaigns. We ran continuous A/B tests to identify which creatives and messages resonated best with audiences, and adjusted campaigns in real time to ensure they were always performing optimally. 5. Complete Sales Funnel We structured the campaigns to cover all stages of the sales funnel: Top of the Funnel : Prospecting and awareness, focused on reaching new audiences and increasing brand recognition. Middle of the Funnel : Retargeting users who have visited the site or interacted with ads, but have not yet converted. Bottom of the Funnel : Recovery of abandoned carts and personalized campaigns with discounts or incentives to increase conversion. Meta Ads Results Total Investment in Meta Ads : €201,324.66 Sales Generated via Meta Ads : €782,606.79 Number of Sales : 12,451 Meta Ads Average ROAS : 389% LTVROAS (Lifetime Return on Investment): 583% The full-funnel strategy on Meta Ads generated 12,451 sales with an average ROAS of 389% . Additionally, LTVROAS demonstrated that when considering customer lifetime value, the return increased even further, reaching 583% . Results in Google Ads Total Investment in Google Ads : €27,600 Sales Generated via Google Ads : €251,000 Number of Sales : 3,860 Average Google Ads ROAS : 909% Google Ads campaigns effectively complemented the Meta Ads strategy, generating 3,860 sales with a ROAS of 909% , a remarkably high return, especially for a search and Google Shopping strategy. Combined Results Total Investment (Meta Ads + Google Ads) : €228,924.66 Sales Generated (Meta Ads + Google Ads) : €1,033,606.79 Total Number of Sales : 16,311 Global Average ROAS : 451% The combined strategy allowed the brand to scale sales impressively, generating over €1 million in sales with an overall ROAS of 451% . We were also able to consistently reduce CPA, keeping it below €22.25 , which was key to the profitability of the campaigns. (It is important to take into account the canceled orders, both from organic and advertising, which are around 7%. These numbers are not represented in this report.) Challenges and Solutions Inefficient Initial Targeting : The brand was not targeting its audience correctly, wasting budget. We solved this problem by creating highly targeted audiences, focusing on the customers most likely to convert. High CPA : The brand was spending more per customer acquired than it should have. With a detailed analysis of the data and optimizations based on KPIs, we were able to reduce the CPA to €22.25 , well below the Breakeven CPA of €41.75. Lack of Platform Diversification : The brand relied exclusively on Meta Ads. The introduction of Google Ads helped diversify traffic sources and significantly increase sales and overall ROAS. Email Marketing: Email marketing systems were implemented to recover abandoned carts and increase the brand's LTV. Key Learnings Importance of Multichannel Strategy : By combining Meta Ads with Google Ads, we were able to capture customers at different points in the purchasing journey, which was crucial to the brand's success. Continuous Monitoring of KPIs : Defining and monitoring clear KPIs, such as ROAS and CPA , allowed for continuous optimization of campaigns and maximization of results. Constant A/B Testing : Regular creative and audience testing ensured we were always optimizing for the best possible performance. Conclusion Implementing an integrated Meta Ads and Google Ads strategy enabled the clothing brand to achieve over €1 million in sales in just 15 months, with an impressive 451% return on total investment. By diversifying platforms and consistently optimizing each campaign, the brand was able to not only increase its sales, but also significantly reduce acquisition costs.
