Meta Ads Performance Overview

Executive Summary

Daniel Smart is a motorcycle leather jacket and vest brand that was generating sales through Facebook and Instagram advertising but faced challenges scaling campaigns profitably. Rising acquisition costs, limited creative variation, and incomplete conversion data made it difficult to increase advertising investment while maintaining profitability.

Dev N Grow rebuilt the Meta Ads infrastructure by improving tracking, restructuring campaigns, implementing Conversions API (CAPI), and introducing a data-driven creative testing approach. Over 19 months, the optimized Meta Ads strategy helped the brand reduce Cost Per Acquisition (CPA) by 52% and achieve a 6.5x Return on Ad Spend (ROAS).

The Challenge

Before working with Dev N Grow, the Meta Ads account faced several growth limitations:

Data Tracking Limitations:
Reliance on browser-based tracking reduced the accuracy of conversion signals available to Meta’s algorithm.

Account Structure Issues:
Fragmented campaigns and overlapping audiences limited efficient budget allocation and campaign learning.

Creative Fatigue:
Limited creative variation reduced engagement and affected campaign performance over time.

Scaling Challenges:
Increasing daily ad spend resulted in declining efficiency, making profitable growth difficult.
