The setup

Meta changed the rules. Most brands haven't caught up.

The Client

A national franchise footprint across 200+ locations with strong organic awareness, and a paid social program that wasn't keeping pace with Meta's new algorithm.

The Challenge

Meta's Andromeda update made ad delivery 10,000x more complex, and it rewards brands that feed it fresh creative constantly. Brands running a handful of static ads get punished with higher CPMs and shrinking reach.

The Approach

Each piece started with audience data, moved through hook testing, and scaled through Meta only after it produced a useful signal.

Case study reflects reported performance for a single client over a 14-day period measured against the prior 13 days in GA4. Past performance does not guarantee future results; outcomes vary by vertical, market, budget, creative quality, and pixel maturity.

Three takeaways you can steal

Why the numbers happened, and how they scale.

Thirty-two variants created the signal. illustration
Week-one testingThirty-two variants created the signal.Hooks and formats were tested at volume, then the strongest patterns became localized playbooks. Job-level revenue attribution remains future work.

01 · Creative volume is the new targeting

Andromeda rewards brands that ship. 32+ variants in 14 days gave the algorithm enough signal to route impressions toward higher-intent users. Less creative, worse delivery. Every time.

02 · National tests become local playbooks

We prove hooks and formats nationally. When a video outperforms, it becomes a template deployed across 200+ locations: localized, geo-fenced, with market-specific landing pages.

03 · Closing the revenue loop is next

We're building toward job-level attribution via job ID and revenue API matching. Once live, we optimize toward booked revenue, not form fills. That's where CPL becomes CPA becomes ROAS.
