An audiobook platform with no TikTok presence and an audience older than the one it needed next. Twelve months later it was the category leader on the channel.
Twenty-three engagements,every number tracedback to where it came from.
Most are client results with a published study behind them, and every figure on those links back to it. One is the system the people on your account work in. Four rest on our own measurement with no third-party study to link to, and each says so on the page rather than borrowing the authority of the others.
Showing all 23 case studies.
Competing against larger players for the same searches, with an indexing problem and keywords fighting each other. Six months of topical work, judged on pipeline rather than on rankings.
A fitness e-commerce brand entering Poland with no recognition, weeks before the gyms closed. Two years later the account optimised for profit rather than revenue.
Not a client result: the system the specialists on your account work in. Client context used to live in chat threads and people’s heads, so every session opened with somebody re-explaining the account.
A subscription app bought some of the first advertising inside an AI assistant. The clicks were cheap from day one. What the channel did with them took four months to work out, and it has not settled yet.
Five years of search terms and about €800k spent on searches that never converted. 12,742 suspects scored by a decision model and tested for significance. Every proposed negative together covers about €66k of that money. The rest sits in product searches that convert at under half the expected rate.
S&G Plus, a nitrile glove distributor nobody outside New York had heard of, with an account that had no sales history and no brand or remarketing campaigns. By week three the ads returned more than twice their cost, and every month from March to August stayed at 2x or above.
A premium garden equipment maker ran programmatic ads only in good weather and tested them against identical always-on ads. In the UK the weather-triggered version converted 76.17% better and cost 39.32% less per acquisition. In Germany it converted better and cost more.
A mattress brand whose new-customer revenue had stalled behind returning buyers and referrals. A year later revenue was up 62.55% and the advertising budget was 5.12% smaller.
A GPS dog collar priced at $700 to $990 and bought once, with a $160 ceiling on what a customer could cost and no way to attribute a six-week buying cycle. A year later a customer cost $163 instead of $332.
An independent Brooklyn veterinary clinic whose entire marketing was one unsegmented search campaign a platform representative had built. The account could not tell a new client from a returning one until the measurement was rebuilt around exactly that question.
A summer-camp business with two months to sell a whole year and one channel carrying every lead. The next season sold 45.76% more camp weeks on a smaller budget.
The largest cinema chain in Poland had been marketing for recognition, with no ad accounts and no campaign history to build on. By 2022 the cost of a ticket purchase had fallen by 54.70%.
A months-old configurator shop taking under PLN 30,000 a month grew purchases 57.68% on Google Ads, with the return target raised in stages instead of set once.
A public transport app whose campaigns were being judged on app installs. Once the conversion goals pointed at ticket purchases and revenue instead, conversion value grew 47% and the cost per conversion fell.
An online English school for children went from paid campaigns in one country to nine new markets. Five of them ended up under day-to-day management, and the published study puts no figure on what the expansion earned.
An eyewear brand sold only through opticians, advertised to women 30+ on Instagram through creators. CPM fell 43% and CPC 41%, with no sales figure to hold either against.
A tour operator selling only Greece, paying more per buyer as travel reopened. Over three seasons on Meta its cost per acquisition fell 81.1%, with video as the format that sold.
A B2B webinar company buying leads on a small budget. The average cost per lead fell 71% over a year and monthly lead volume grew as much as threefold. Lead quality was claimed, never measured.
A Norwegian car rental firm serving tourists and construction companies, advertised on a website the ads team did not fully control. Google Ads conversions rose 53% over two years, with most of the efficiency gained in the first.
A marketing automation SaaS with 11 Google Ads accounts and 10 internal teams, each wanting its own report. The accounts came down to 3 and monthly reporting fell from as much as 30 hours to around 7. The study measures workload and gives no revenue figure.
A cosmetics shop shipping to more than 50 countries read its CRM by market before scaling. Customers in one country brought in 464% more revenue a year than in another, and the plan followed that gap.
A connected health device business in the United States had more marketing tools than it could keep running. Cutting the stack back and rebuilding the data underneath, across every channel the team ran. Revenue in the client’s own sales system rose 70% and the cost of a customer fell 20%.
All 23 were delivered by MTA Group, which Zero Fluff Digital is part of, by the same specialists who work on your account. Most are client results; one is the system those specialists work in. The reviews behind the client work are public and verified on Clutch, where clients rate the work rather than the agency describing itself.
