The challenge

Performance marketing in FMCG is notoriously tough, with low conversion rates and high competition. Dalston’s Soda Co. wanted to see if paid media could really do more than drive brand awareness—specifically, to grow new customer acquisition, increase revenue, and boost recurring subscriptions.

The strategy

Step 1: Research

We analysed customer data and conducted review scraping for both Dalston’s customers and competitors. Gaining deep insight into the emotional drivers behind their purchase decisions.


Step 2: Audience Strategy

We moved beyond basic personas to map emotional triggers for each audience segment. Layering targeting strategies to ensure we reached the right people with the right message.


Step 3: Content Strategy

We leveraged UGC to craft authentic, engaging ads. Each persona had multiple creative variants, allowing us to test different angles and identify what resonates.


Step 4: Conversion Rate Optimization
We helped devise dedicated landing pages for paid campaigns, designed specifically to increase conversion rates and guide users smoothly through the purchase journey.


Step 5: Testing & Experimentation Loop
All campaigns were continuously tested and optimised. Insights from each test informed the next iteration, creating a data-driven loop that improved performance over time.
