01: Context

The situation
we walked into

Client context

Wedding hair & makeup salon (NDA)

A premium wedding hair and makeup team serving brides and bridal parties across the U.S. Known for high-end artistry and on-location services, they work with clients planning weddings, special events, and editorial shoots - where appearance and experience both matter.

The challenge

Premium service. Broken tracking.

Despite a strong portfolio and premium positioning, paid media wasn't producing results. Tracking was fragmented across Google and Meta with no unified view of leads. Campaigns were too narrowly focused on bridal, audiences weren't properly segmented, and ad creative didn't match the quality of the service. Cost per conversion had reached $2,341 with no measurable ROAS.

02: What We Did

Three moves.
One premium
brand.

Audit first, then a full strategy restart, then a repeatable creative system built on the team's own content.

01

Account Audit and Market Analysis

Conducted a full audit of the existing Google and Meta accounts alongside a competitive market analysis. Identified which audience segments, placements, and service categories were generating real booking intent - and cut everything that wasn't. Bridal-only targeting was expanded to include all high-intent event categories where the team's services had genuine demand.

Segments identified
02

Full Strategy Restart

Rebuilt the paid strategy from scratch across both platforms. Google Search campaigns were restructured around high-intent booking queries with proper negative lists and match type discipline. Meta was relaunched with segmented ad sets per service category - bridal, events, and editorial - each with dedicated creative and audience logic. Unified tracking was set up for the first time, giving full visibility into cost per booked lead.

03

Creative System Built on Team Content

Established a repeatable process for turning the team's own photography and video content into high-performing ad creative. Brief templates, review cycles, and performance-based iteration made creative testing systematic rather than occasional. Ads that reflected the real quality of the work drove the most bookings - and the data proved it.

Creative-to-booking loop
03: Ad Creative & Messaging

Copy written
for brides
who are ready.

Every ad was written for a specific moment in the booking journey - from early inspiration to final vendor selection. Generic beauty language was replaced with outcome-led copy that matched search intent and filtered for serious enquiries over casual browsers.

Platform synergy

Google and Meta worked in tandem: Search captured high-intent booking queries while Meta drove discovery and retargeting among engaged bridal audiences.

Beyond bridal

Expanding beyond bridal-only targeting to events, proms, and editorial unlocked new demand that the previous narrow strategy had completely missed.

Creative that reflected the work

A systematic process for turning the team's own content into ad creative ensured every ad matched the premium standard of the actual service - and brides noticed.

We were blown away by the results. Not just the numbers, but how well the ads captured the essence of our brand.
