A founder-led account, hitting its ceiling.

Zesty Paws came to us at a pivotal point. They were running paid ads, but their account structure, objectives, and attribution setup were holding them back. Campaigns were fragmented, results were inconsistent, and their media efficiency had taken a hit. The product had clear demand, but their ad strategy wasn’t aligned with how people actually buy and the numbers reflected that.

In our first six months together, we overhauled their performance marketing from the ground up. This wasn’t just about adding more spend, it was about fixing the foundations.

By consolidating the ad account, correcting campaign objectives, and cleaning up attribution, we unlocked immediate improvements in ROAS and media efficiency. From there, we layered in new winning creatives, some produced internally, others in partnership ads which are key right now, and this laid the groundwork for sustainable growth.

Four levers. Run in order.

Account Consolidation + Structural Overhaul
We restructured the Meta ad account with precision.

- Consolidating fragmented campaigns

- Aligning campaign objectives to actual buying behaviours

- Fixing attribution across the funnel

As soon as this was in place, stability returned. Spend was flowing efficiently, and media performance rebounded quickly.


Creative That Converts

Creative was a big unlock. We tested and scaled a mix of in-house ads and partnership-style assets, with several clear winners that held performance over time. These assets became core drivers of acquisition, improving engagement and conversion while keeping costs down.

Growth Without Sacrificing Efficiency
As growth picked up, we maintained a tight grip on core efficiency metrics. We kept spend lean in early phases to re-test foundational pieces, then scaled gradually, only when performance held. Media Efficiency Ratio (MER), ROAS and conversion rates all trended in the right direction throughout the six-month period.

Four levers. Run in order.

03.1

Product-market fit + winning creative

Scaling happens fast when the product clicks with its audience, and Glouup had exactly that. We identified creative winners early and scaled them through the year, with several top performers delivering for months.
03.2

A site built to convert

Many new brands overlook CRO. Glouup launched with a site that was sharp, intuitive, and designed to convert, with clear offer architecture and fast page loads. Paid traffic had a strong place to land and convert at scale.
03.3

Disciplined scaling: NCPA as the north star

Growth only matters if it's profitable. Every decision from prospecting to retargeting was measured against new-customer acquisition cost. We chased volume, and we chased it with efficiency.
03.4

Setting up year two for lift-off

With Glouup proven across traffic sources, offer structures, and fulfilment, the focus moves to lifetime value, retention and community. Year two operates from a far stronger baseline.

Year one, done right.

+2,156%

NEW-CUSTOMER ORDERS · FIRST 12 MONTHS · ON RECORD
Uplift across every key growth metric: volume, efficiency and conversion.
High-volume scale without sacrificing NCPA discipline.
Winning creative that carried the brand through the year.
A conversion-focused site that made every click count.
Retention plays and new launches set up for a breakout year two.
FIVE RESULTS. ZERO ADJECTIVES. END OF EXHIBIT.

The results speak for themselves:

  • Paid media ROAS improved by 20% over the period
  • Overall sales climbed consistently month over month
  • Marketing Efficiency Ratio (MER) reached sustainable levels and held steady
  • Order volume and AOV both increased
  • The brand now sees strong returning customer rates and over 5% conversion rate sitewide
  • Net-new winning creatives were unlocked and are now core to the ad account

Most importantly, the brand now has a well-structured, data-led paid media engine it can rely on and the performance foundations to scale from.

Agencies are a gamble. Paradigm, is the gamble you want to take.

We spent £25k a month on ads, we ran emails ourselves and about £ 1k on Google ads.
I worked with 4 agencies over about 6 years, and I would honestly say that 3/4 of them were scam artists.. overselling and undelivering consistently..
I lost complete belief and trust that agencies were useful, until we met paradigm. Service is great, very...

Shifting the Paradigm

We had a really thorough and insightful audit from the team before we even joined, which immediately gave us confidence. Since then, we've been working together for 9 months and they've genuinely helped grow our account in a sustainable, thoughtful way.

A Great Paid Meta Agency

We made the decision to move our Meta paid activity to Paradigm 5 months ago and they have already had a huge impact. Our account manager Millie is an absolute gem and the quality and volume of the creatives is outstanding. They have consistently helped us exceed our revenue forecasts whilst keeping a really close eye on the ROAS figures we are comfortable with....

Paradigm raise the bar

In a world full of dishonest agencies, Paradigm Media have raised the bar and cut the mould. We teamed up with Paradigm just over a year ago and we have gone from strength to strength. They go above and beyond always, we pay for 30 creatives per month but the team constantly deliver 50+ each month to ensure performance.

I can't recommend Paradigm Media highly enough! Charlie has been nothing short of amazing, providing support across multiple aspects of my business -not just ads. Unlike other agencies I've worked with, Charlie truly listens to my needs and ensures that what he promises gets actioned.
His responsiveness and ability to adapt to my feedback have been a game-...

I cannot recommend the team at Paradigm Media enough. We had some issues with our previous agency. They didn't pay us much attention, the work was slow and not to a good standard at all. We booked a call with Paradigm, and Charlie and the team made us feel at ease! They provided a full audit of our account and they turned things around for us. We continue to reach new heigh...

Great to work with taking the stress out of paid ads

Paradigm has been running all of our paid media for our health supplements for the past 12 months.
Their creatives always perform well and lots of testing to find winners, unlike most agencies who take weeks to do anything.
The team is reliable and always available if anything comes up which takes all the stress away and leaves m...

Been working with Brad for the last 4 months , they have been great with their service , We have used them for meta and google ads , They have increased the sales and reduced the ad spend , All metrics have been improving month on month , They consistently test creatives and optimise ads . I have worked with many agencies in the past who have charged 3 times more and don't even deliver 20% of what brad and his team have delivered for us . Highly Recommended

We’ve been working with Nurtured Scale…

We’ve been working with Nurtured Scale for just over 6 months but already have seen a huge increase in turnover. Within the first month our sales were 155% up on the previous year. Brad and Kieron are a joy to work with! They have really taken the time to learn about our company and category and they are super responsive to any query we have. We have been really impressed with the quality of ads that are put out. All in all, a joy to work with - they really do know their stuff!

Brads Ads, a marketing wizard!

In a way I don’t want to give this review as I don’t want to share Brad. What he has done for our online sales is nothing short of miraculous. Just from September to December our sales went up 2000%. We actually ran out of stock.
I have lost a LOT of money to ads agencies over the last few years, that promise you the moon on a stick but deliver next to nothing, but Brad came recommended and boy does he deliver. Not only that but he’s a really lovely guy that genuinely is passionate about his job and scaling businesses. I cannot recommend him enough

Just read this before you sign with Brad

I have come across tens of ads agencies and I can tell you for a fact, Brad is RARE

He is so confident in the value that he brings to the table that he doesn’t lock anyone in lengthy contracts.
And that’s because of the results he is confident can bring for brands that he sees potential in.

I am the founder of a beauty brand which Brad took lead on Facebook and Google ads for. Prior to this I was running them myself...

incredible asset to my brand through managing my paid ads.

Brad has been an incredible asset to my brand through managing my paid ads.
He was brought on to handle my Facebook and Google advertising, but what I’ve received is far more than just ad management. His approach is genuinely collaborative — we have weekly calls where we go over what’s performing well, what needs improvement, and he always brings fresh ideas to help push things forward......
