01

Challenge

One creative concept was being translated into seven markets with wildly different results and no diagnosis. Budget was distributed evenly out of fairness rather than evidence.

02

Strategy

Each market was treated as a pilot with defined kill criteria and its own economic model. Budget moved only after a market cleared its validation threshold.

03

Execution

Local angle research and native creative per market, staged pilots with fixed test budgets, local payment and compliance review, and a weekly reallocation ritual based on validated cost per first order.

04

Result

Reported as validated markets, cost per first order by market and repeat purchase rate within 60 days.

05

Learnings

Two markets were closed within six weeks, which was the most valuable outcome of the quarter. Cheap failure is a feature of the process, not a defect.

RETAINED VALUE / COHORT BY MONTH
Cohort retention: each monthly cohort holds more of its value than the one before it.
