Key insight

Creative is the new targeting.

Broad audiences with specific creative outperformed narrow targeting. Different hooks found different buyers on their own.

The outcome

Scaled spend while holding acquisition cost steady instead of letting it climb.

We stopped trying to find the audience and let the creative do it. Spend almost tripled and CAC didn't move.
