Background

A Body Care Brand Ready to Dominate Paid Social

Maelys has built a cult following in the body care space with their innovative sculpting and firming products. Known for delivering real, visible results, the brand had already proven strong product-market fit through organic growth and influencer buzz.

With ambitions to scale aggressively on Meta and TikTok, Maelys needed a creative partner who could produce high-volume UGC that matched the authenticity their audience expected—while driving the performance metrics required to scale to 7-figure monthly spend profitably.

The Challenge

Scaling Creative Volume Without Sacrificing Performance

Maelys came to Krave Media at a critical growth inflection point:

  • Their winning ad concepts were fatiguing faster than their internal team could produce replacements

  • Scaling spend meant CPAs were creeping up, threatening profitability at higher budgets

  • The intimate nature of body care products required creators who could speak authentically about real results without feeling overly promotional

  • They needed diverse creator representation to reach broader audiences while maintaining conversion rates

  • Previous agency partnerships delivered volume but couldn't crack the performance benchmarks needed for sustainable scale

The brand needed a partner obsessed with both creative quality and direct response performance.

Krave Media cracked the code on scaling our creative. They understand that at 7-figure monthly spend, you can't just make ads—you need a system that produces winners consistently. Our CPA dropped 40% even as we scaled, which completely changed our unit economics.

The Solution

High-Volume UGC Engine Built for Scale

Phase 1: Creative Strategy & Winning Concept Analysis

We audited Maelys' top-performing historical ads to identify the hooks, formats, and messaging that drove results. Key insights emerged: transformation-focused content outperformed lifestyle imagery, authentic "real results" testimonials beat polished spokesmodel approaches, and specific problem-solution framing converted better than general brand messaging. We built our creative roadmap around these proven patterns.

Phase 2: Creator Casting & Production at Scale

We deployed 25+ creators across the US, UK, and Australia—carefully casting for authenticity, relatability, and on-camera confidence discussing body care. Each creator received detailed briefs built around winning hooks while allowing room for natural delivery. Production delivered 120+ unique ad variations across multiple formats: testimonials, before/after reveals, routine integrations, and problem-agitation hooks.

Phase 3: Rapid Testing & Iteration Framework

We established a continuous creative pipeline, delivering fresh batches of ads every 10 days to combat fatigue. Our performance team worked directly with Maelys' media buyers, analyzing hook retention rates, thumb-stop metrics, and conversion data to identify winning patterns. Top performers were iterated rapidly—new hooks on proven creators, winning scripts with fresh faces—creating a flywheel of scalable creative.

Results Summary

Over an 8-month partnership, Krave Media became Maelys' primary UGC engine, delivering 120+ performance-driven creatives that reduced CPA by 40% while the brand scaled to 7-figure monthly ad spend. The continuous creative pipeline eliminated fatigue as a bottleneck, allowing Maelys to scale confidently with consistent profitability across Meta and TikTok.
