Doe Beauty: Revitalizing Advertising Strategy to Achieve Exceptional Growth

Introducing Doe Beauty

Doe Beauty, founded in 2020 by entrepreneur Jason Wong, is a rising star in the beauty industry known for its high-quality, handmade Korean silk fiber lashes. The brand swiftly made its mark by emphasizing comfort and sustainability while delivering innovative eye products. Embracing the digital era, Doe Beauty integrated machine learning to enhance the shopping experience, offering personalized recommendations and a seamless online journey for customers.

Despite its rapid growth and innovative approach, Doe Beauty faced challenges in scaling its advertising efforts effectively. Their previous agency's efforts led to a Return on Ad Spend (ROAS) of only 0.7x—a metric significantly below industry standards. This hindered their ambition to broaden market share and strengthen their online presence.

The Challenge

Low ROAS and the Need for Scaling Ad Spend

Doe Beauty needed to revamp its advertising strategy to improve ROAS while scaling ad spend. The challenge was twofold: increase advertising efficiency and profitability to support aggressive growth targets.

Enhancing Marketing Effectiveness

The existing advertising campaigns were not resonating with the target audience, leading to suboptimal performance. There was a critical need to understand customer behaviors and preferences to refine marketing messages and creative assets.
