01: Context

The situation
we walked into

Client context

A U.S. specialty food gift brand (NDA)

A trusted U.S. e-commerce brand with over 50 years of experience in specialty food gifts. Known for beautifully packaged gift baskets for every occasion, from holiday celebrations to corporate gifting, delivered across the entire country.

The challenge

Strong brand. Untapped potential.

Despite decades of brand recognition and a loyal customer base, the client's ad account wasn't built to scale. Campaign structure was outdated, Shopping and PMax weren't being used to their potential, and the brand's name recognition - a genuine competitive advantage - wasn't being leveraged in the paid strategy at all.

02: What We Did

Four moves.
One peak
season.

Each step was timed for maximum impact. Fix the foundation, build the strategy, target the right buyers, then let creative do the work.

01

Campaign Structure Rebuilt from Scratch

Completely replaced the outdated account structure and refreshed the entire campaign strategy. New segmentation, updated negative lists, restructured ad groups, and realigned bidding logic. We didn't patch what was broken - we rebuilt it to scale.

Full restructure
02

Scalable PMax & Shopping Architecture

Built a clean Performance Max and Shopping foundation designed for peak-season demand - segmented by product category, margin tier, and purchase intent. Feed optimisation, asset group structure, and audience signals all dialled in before Q4 hit.

PMax + Shopping rebuilt
03

Brand Equity, Finally Leveraged

The client carries 50+ years of name recognition - but the old account treated brand traffic like any other keyword. We split brand and non-brand campaigns, built dedicated brand Search campaigns, and used brand equity to lower CPCs and improve Quality Scores across the entire account.

Brand advantage unlocked
04

Ongoing Optimisation Cycles

Introduced new audience segments, tested creatives, and ran regular conversion-focused iterations. ROAS improved steadily as spend increased: a sign of a healthy, scalable structure, not a lucky streak.

Systematic iteration
03: Ad Creative & Messaging

The copy &
creatives that
converted.

Every headline was written to match search intent precisely - gift-givers at different stages of buying. Brand recognition carried the trust; the copy closed the click. Below are representative examples of the messaging frameworks and display banners used across the campaign.

Q4 2023 to Q4 2025 - compounded across two restructured peak seasons

Record-breaking Q4, two years running

The rebuilt structure met peak-season demand at full force in 2024 - then scaled further in 2025. Holiday campaigns and brand-leveraged bidding drove the highest Q4s in the client's recent paid media history.

Shopping visibility restored

Rebuilt Merchant Center feed and PMax asset groups unlocked full Shopping exposure for high-margin gift basket SKUs that were previously underserved by the old structure.

Brand name, finally working

Splitting brand and non-brand campaigns let us use the client's strong search demand to lower CPCs across the account and improve Quality Scores at scale.

The holiday season was a massive success thanks to the revamped campaigns. We hit numbers we hadn't seen in years!
