DR TEAL'S:
Scaling awareness + engagement through creator-led storytelling & performance optimization

Scaling Self-Care Through Paid Social: A $1.3M Campaign Case Study

THE CHALLENGE

Dr Teal’s needed to scale awareness while shifting perception from functional product to daily self-care ritual, all while driving efficient engagement across platforms.

MY ROLE

Led paid social planning + execution across TikTok and Meta
Developed channel roles + full-funnel strategy
Managed ~$1.3M in media investment
Partnered with creators + internal teams to activate and scale content
Owned performance optimization + reporting insights

THE STRATEGIC APPROACH

I structured the campaign around three core levers:

1. Creator-Led Trust (Nina Pool)

  • Amplified influencer content via Spark Ads + Meta collab posts

  • Used creator credibility to humanize the brand and drive engagement

2. Social Proof at Scale (Review Amplification)

  • Translated customer reviews into paid creative

  • Leveraged TikTok creator ecosystem + Meta overlays to drive conversion intent

3. High-Impact Short-Form Video

  • Built scroll-stopping creative designed for fast consumption

  • Focused on early hook (<2s) and short-form efficiency (<6s)

EXECUTION

  • Activated across TikTok + Meta with distinct platform roles:

    • TikTok → scaled reach + discovery (TopView, Spark Ads)

    • Meta → drove deeper engagement + completion

  • Managed multiple creative formats:

    • Creator content

    • ASMR product storytelling

    • Review-based statics + video

  • Continuously optimized:

    • Creative rotation

    • Frequency caps (to reduce fatigue/negative sentiment)

    • Asset mix based on performance signals

THE RESULTS

  • 79.8M people reached

  • 145.8M impressions

  • 120.8M video views

  • 1.6M engagements

  • 97% video view rate

Key Wins:

  • TikTok drove efficient large-scale awareness

  • Meta delivered higher-intent engagement + stronger completion

  • Campaign performance improved mid-flight through optimizations

 

INSIGHTS

Key Learnings

  • Creative matters more than format

    • “Bath-focused” creative outperformed → insight into consumer mindset

  • Hook speed is critical

    • Strong first 2 seconds significantly improved completion rates

  • Short-form wins

    • <6s videos drove better engagement efficiency

  • Creator scaling requires balance

    • Adjusted frequency + diversification to avoid overfrequencing
