The Challenges
- Evergreen was Structurally Undersupported
Brand awareness was strong, but fewer than 30 active evergreen ads were running per month, leaving little creative fuel to sustain sales outside promo periods.
- Revenue Dependent on Promo Windows
Sales dropped sharply the moment promotions closed, showing the business had no reliable non-promo demand engine.
- Creative Missing Information at the Drop-Off Point
Existing assets lacked pricing and reassurance information at the exact stage shoppers were dropping off — between add-to-cart and purchase.
Key Objectives
- Build a Sustainable Evergreen Foundation
Create an evergreen creative base that doesn't rely on promo cycles to drive sales.
- Make Creative the Major Driver
Shift creative's share of evergreen purchase volume from a minority to the majority driver.
- Establish a Repeatable Framework
Validate a creative framework that is transferable across product categories and future launches.
Our Approach
1. Diagnose information gaps in current assets
Audited existing evergreen creative against the actual drop-off point (add-to-cart to purchase), and found assets were missing pricing clarity and reassurance signals right where parents compare options before buying. This reframed the brief from "more ads" to "close a specific gap," which is why cost-per-ATC and ATC-to-purchase moved first.
2. Identify bestsellers per category; test creative angles/styles against each
Anchored testing to proven bestsellers in each category so performance lift could be attributed to the creative, not an unproven SKU, running multiple angles in parallel (demos, comparison/reassurance, UGC, ingredient/safety, price-anchored). This is the source of the 10+ proven angle categories.
3. Validate winning angles across other SKUs and ranges over a sustained testing period before scaling spend
An angle winning on diapers doesn't automatically transfer to wipes or skincare, so each winner was re-tested against bestsellers in other categories before being cleared for spend. Sustained testing also filtered out novelty spikes that fade by week 2, avoiding false positives.
4. Reinvest and recreate the proven angles at scale
Only cross-category-validated angles got increased spend and increased production volume (new hooks and visuals, same underlying driver) to prevent fatigue as spend scaled. This is why evergreen absorbed +81% spend while ROAS still rose 57%, and why Z21 creative's share climbed 41% to 78%.
