About the Brand

Challenges

    Extremely competitive categories dominated by large brands with high ad visibility.
  • 2
    Weak keyword ranking on essential category terms like "SPF sunscreen" and "oil-free facewash".
  • 3
    No funnel structure, causing budgets to spread thin across many low-performing keywords.
  • 4
    Low CTR due to generic creatives that didn't highlight benefits such as SPF rating or formulation type.
  • 5
    Lack of SKU-level margin tracking, making it difficult to scale profitable campaigns.
  • 6
    Limited insight into which ad placements produced the best ROAS.
