Their hero product, the Bōdhi Jumper is loved by thousands of body-lovers and movers-and-shakers worldwide offering superior flexibility, quality, and comfort in every piece of clothing.

The Challenge

At the end of 2022, IMBŌDHI had seen a -6% YoY decline impacted largely by Meta ad inefficiencies leading to two consecutive years of virtually zero growth. At the end of 2022, IMBŌDHI reached out with an 80% YoY growth target for 2023 to break the cycle of stagnant growth.

The Strategy

After taking a look underneath the hood of the business, we identified three critical areas to hone in on for 2023 to achieve the growth target:

Attribution: Their prior media agency was leveraging just platform reported metrics without keeping the business top of mind. Once we took over, we activated Triple Whale’s attribution for a better understanding of how each channel worked within their marketing mix and focused on two core business KPIs: New Customer Acquisition Costs (nCAC) and Blended Return on Ad Spend (bROAS).

Northstar KPIs: IMBŌDHI was focused on one KPI: Profitability. When prompted with questions around nCAC and bROAS targets, IMBŌDHI had not thought of these KPIs yet. We worked together to establish targets for both nCAC and bROAS to allow for a clear indicator of whether we could scale faster or pull back by having these Northstar KPIs that were tied to profitability.

Content: Historically IMBŌDHI had produced content in-house with no direction from their prior media agency. With Meta being their primary marketing channel, content was the largest opportunity to level up Meta Ads performance. We implemented a content strategy crafted around core value props paired with third party validation and Replo landing pages. One of our content experiences looks like this: 

The Results

+187% YoY growth while keeping CAC flat. By leveraging a repeatable content strategy, we were able to scale media spend efficiently acquiring 234% more customers. We’ve cracked the code and aim to scale another 50% YoY for 2024 setting all time record highs for IMBŌDHI.

From the Founders

At the end of 2022, we were nearly out of cash and overlooked by our previous large marketing agency. Fast forward to the end of 2023: we're profitable, with a solid cash reserve and a clear 2024 strategy with defined KPIs.

What changed? We optimized our cash conversion cycle, implemented Profit First, and most importantly, partnered with Brian. As our fractional CMO, he has been instrumental. The insightful strategies, weekly concise yet comprehensive KPI reports, and daily micro-adjustments to our budget have been game changers.

I've referred two entrepreneur friends to Brian, and both have reported unprecedented growth, defying the challenging macroeconomic climate of 2023. Thanks to Brian, we're not just surviving; we're thriving and continually setting record months.

With 2023's goals far exceeded, we're setting our sights even higher for 2024. Brian has been a pivotal partner in our journey to success.
