The challenge

Plenty of strong content, but no funnel to turn it into new customers.

Scorpion is an established New Zealand supplement brand with a loyal community and an energetic social presence. Many of its ads came from organic posts: strong content, but run one at a time rather than as an organised programme, with no funnel to move new people from discovering the brand to buying.

We also found a gap in measurement: online sales recorded in Google Analytics didn’t match actual sales. Closing it would show what the ads returned and where to invest next.

The content was already there. It needed a structure, and numbers the team could trust.

What we did

We rebuilt the ads around each stage of the buying journey, then fixed the tracking.

  1. A full Meta ads funnel (July 2024). We replaced one-off post ads with structured Meta campaigns for awareness, conversion and retargeting.
  2. New creative for every stage. Video, still and animated creative, plus dynamic product ads from the catalogue.
  3. Google Search, Shopping and Performance Max. We launched Google Search ads in May 2024, then Shopping and Performance Max through a new Merchant Center setup in September 2024.
  4. Sales tracking fixed. Alongside the rebuild, we worked with Scorpion’s website agency to close the gap between real online sales and what analytics recorded. It took several months, and revenue tracking has been reliable since September 2024.
  5. Local Performance Max for Christchurch (early 2025). To put the store in front of nearby shoppers on Google Maps.
