(01) Overview

Northpeak was launching its first performance training line into one of the most crowded categories on social. We built a paid campaign designed to win the thumb first and the cart second.

(02) The brief

What needed to change

The brand needed launch sales without a celebrity budget. Previous ads leaned on product shots and discount codes, and acquisition costs were climbing every quarter. The goal was profitable growth from day one and creative that felt like sport, not a catalogue.

(03) Our approach

How we did it

We shot a red-lit campaign with real athletes and cut it into 36 ad variations across hooks, lengths and offers. A structured testing plan moved budget to the winners every 72 hours, while retargeting sequences told the product story to people who had already watched. Organic posts and creator cuts kept the feed and the ads speaking with one voice.
