Every platform needs a different approach. Here's the framework I use for each one — not black-box guesswork, but a repeatable system built from running real DTC budgets.
Most brands run Meta like a single-level lottery. I build proper TOFU/MOFU/BOFU campaigns with audience logic that compounds — so the algorithm learns fast and costs drop over time.
Pixel health, event firing, attribution window, campaign structure. Bad data makes the algorithm guess. I fix the data before spending a pound.
pixel · events · attributionCold audiences. Warm retargeting. Existing customer exclusions. Each layer talks to a different buyer mindset — and the budget reflects that.
TOFU · MOFU · BOFUWeekly creative rotation. Hook testing. Format experiments — UGC, static, carousel, DPA. Winners get scaled, losers get paused before they drag down the account.

Every brief starts with "what would a creator post?" not "what does the brand want to say?" The hook has to earn the view before we earn the click.

Let's talk TikTokPinterest is the most underrated platform in DTC right now. Buyers arrive already in discovery mode — CPCs are a fraction of Meta, and purchase intent is baked in. Most brands sleep on this.
Before a single ad goes live, I audit the keyword landscape for your niche. Buyers on Pinterest search with buying language — "gifts for her under £50", "minimalist skincare routine". We meet them there.
