The Kickoff
The Kickoff
After establishing itself as a brand in March 2022, CorneaCare began working with Pilothouse in July of that year. At the time, the company's primary focus was on Google. Given budget constraints, they wisely chose not to spread themselves thin across every platform. Instead, they worked with our team to craft a long-term roadmap to success. Recognizing the potential within the Beauty and Personal Care industry, CorneaCare saw Amazon as a promising avenue for their growth but didn’t know where to start on launching an Amazon storefront. In September 2022, they expanded their collaboration with Pilothouse to include Amazon. In just over a year, they brought on Pilothouse's Meta Launchpad team in April 2023, after struggling to find consistency in performance and ROAS with their previous agency. Through this strategic partnership, CorneaCare transformed into a thriving, industry-defining business.
What is Pilothouse’s Meta Launchpad?
The Pilothouse Launchpad Program is geared toward brands that aim to lay the proper foundation to scale their Meta ad accounts long-term. The Launchpad program focuses heavily on building a repeatable system to test angles, creatives, and copy variations. We do all of these using data to guide further decisions, find winners, and scale up campaigns, so long as we are trending toward client goals. It was designed for newer or smaller Meta brands that aren’t ready for full management. We offer multiple tiers of service to meet the unique needs, stages, and budgets of the brands we work with.
The Strategy
Streamlined campaigns, restructured the account, and optimized budgets for faster learning.
Focused efforts on high-performing keywords, resulting in a remarkable 95% increase in revenue quarter to quarter while improving Return on Ad Spend (ROAS).
Amazon
After a successful store launch, we refined the advertising strategy by reducing spend on low-conversion campaigns.
We doubled down on top-selling products, implementing aggressive advertising strategies including generic keyword prospecting, competitor targeting, and branded campaigns.
The team swiftly identified top-performing campaigns and allocated additional resources, resulting in rapid scaling while maintaining a 3.00+ Total-ROAS.
Meta
Focused on top-of-funnel (TOF) acquisition to drive traffic while optimizing campaigns on Amazon and Google for middle-of-funnel (MOF) and bottom-of-funnel (BOF) sales.
Strategies included new creative testing, creator-generated content (CGC), and review-focused creatives.
The outcome led to a 97% increase in ROAS since switching to Pilothouse’s Meta Launchpad team (April–September 2023 results).
Studios
High-quality creatives that highlight your product's unique selling features are crucial for Amazon sales.
