The Challenge.

Hair & Skin Science was growing rapidly and needed an agency that could not only keep up but also push them beyond their expectations. Although their existing agencies were helpful, the founder knew they were leaving money on the table by not scaling paid social, and he was never satisfied with the creative output delivered by the previous agencies. We had to overcome several key hurdles to achieve great results for Hair & Skin Science:

  • 1

    No previous winning creative to iterate on

  • 2

    Ad spend heavily skewed towards Google with no top-of-funnel strategy

  • 3

    Heavy reliance on branded terms on Google

  • 4

    Agencies unable to scale without increasing cost per lead

Direct Response Creative

Hair transplants and treatments were the most popular services offered by Hair & Skin Science. We began by deeply understanding the pains, fears, and desires of people struggling with hair loss, examining reviews, Reddit forums, and competitors’ ad comments. We discovered a series of hooks that became our best-performing angles for months, iterating them across videos, UGC, statics, carousels, and GIFs. Prospective clients wanted to feel as they did before hair loss, so our creatives focused on transformations and results to build desire and provide proof simultaneously.

Cross-Channel Scaling Strategy

With most of the ad spend allocated to Google, Hair & Skin Science’s previous agency struggled to grow booking numbers. They had essentially exhausted the search volume on Google for their brand and relevant generic terms. Our strategy was to maintain Google ad spend while allocating additional budget to Meta to scale top-of-funnel awareness and target individuals experiencing hair loss who hadn’t yet searched for solutions on Google. This approach worked perfectly, as Meta not only drove last-click conversions but also increased brand search and improved results for generic terms on Google. Educated and informed by our Meta ads, potential clients were more likely to choose our ads over competitors’.

UGC Creative Production

While we had success with motion graphics and static ads, UGC production became a game-changer, especially on TikTok. An added benefit was that TikTok-style creatives performed well on both TikTok and Meta, giving us more angles to scale on both platforms. Our hook rates on UGC were impressive, with over 39% of viewers watching more than three seconds of our ads (the industry benchmark is 25%). These ads engaged audiences and drew them in, while branded motions and statics converted them into bookings, creating the perfect mix of creative content.
