Sprint Breakdown & Execution Timeline

Phase 1: Server-Side Signal Restoration & Creative Sprint

Meta CAPI Gateway & 40+ UGC Athletic Ad Hooks

Weeks 1–3

Deployed AWS server-side Meta Conversions API gateway to restore 100% of purchase event signals. Produced 40+ athlete gym-hook video creatives emphasizing sweat-wicking durability, fit, and squat-proof compression.

Key Technical Deliverables
Recovered 32% untracked purchase signals with server-side CAPI integration
Tested 15 visual hook variations across Instagram Reels and TikTok ad placements
Identified top 3 winning creative concepts generating 6.2x initial ROAS
Phase 2: Google PMax Margin Tiering & Catalog Optimization

SKU-Level Profit Bidding & Shopping Feed Tuning

Weeks 4–8

Restructured Google Performance Max campaigns by splitting product catalogs into high-margin hero SKUs vs low-margin clearance items, allocating aggressive budgets to highest-margin apparel.

Key Technical Deliverables
Optimized Google Shopping feed titles with fabric, GSM weight, and fit attributes
Set custom ROAS targets per product margin band
Integrated interactive 3D sizing advisor on Shopify product pages to cut return rates
Phase 3: Retention & Post-Purchase Scaling

Klaviyo VIP Flows & Festive Drop Pre-Orders

Weeks 9–12

Built automated VIP early-access launch flows on Klaviyo, turning one-time apparel buyers into recurring fitness collection subscribers.

Key Technical Deliverables
Launched VIP early-access drop campaigns generating ₹18 Lakhs in 48 hours
Scaled monthly gross revenue past ₹68 Lakhs profitably
Increased 90-day repeat purchase rate to 36%

1. Business Challenge & Bottleneck

Apex Athletic faced rising Meta CPMs and signal loss post-iOS updates, resulting in declining ad ROAS below 1.8x and high return rates.

2. Growth Strategy & Technical Implementation

We deployed Server-Side Meta Conversions API (CAPI), produced 40+ athletic gym-hook video creatives, restructured Google Performance Max campaigns with SKU-level margin bidding, and created automated post-purchase sizing guides.

3. Measurable Results & Enterprise Impact

Ad ROAS jumped from 1.8x to a profitable 5.4x, scaling monthly store revenue past ₹68 Lakhs while repeat orders increased to 36%.

Key Strategic Insights & Takeaways

Server-Side CAPI tracking is mandatory in 2026: without it, ad algorithms under-report revenue by 25–35%.
Segmenting PMax campaigns by product gross margin protects profitability during scaling.
Interactive size guides on product pages halved customer return rates and customer support tickets.

"MMH completely turned around our unit economics. Their creative testing sprint and tracking accuracy gave us the confidence to scale our ad spend 5x."
