Wellbeing Nutrition

Winning at the bottom of the funnel, then working upwards.

Wellbeing Nutrition sells to people who read labels before they read ads. We rebuilt the Meta creative around that, starting with the buyers already closest to purchase and carrying what won back up the funnel.

01 / The Client

A supplement brand whose buyers already know the category.

Wellbeing Nutrition is a D2C nutrition brand built around time-release delivery rather than bigger doses.

Three products carried the spend here. Slow Triple Magnesium Complex, three magnesium forms released across eight hours. Slow Triple Strength Omega-3, a triglyceride form fish oil. And Kids Superfuel, a children's drink mix sweetened with fruit instead of sugar.

The buyer is not a beginner. They compare bisglycinate against citrate. They know what EPA and DHA stand for. They turn the pack around before they add to cart. That one fact is what the whole creative programme was built on.

02 / The Challenge

The creative was written for someone discovering the category.

The audience buying the product had left that stage a long time ago. Ads opened on mood and closed on a discount, and the mechanism that justifies the price sat in the small print or nowhere at all.

A

Everyone saw the same message

A shopper who had viewed a product page three times got the same ad as someone who had never heard of the brand.

B

The reason to pay more was missing

Three forms of magnesium, eight hour release, triglyceride absorption. All of it real, none of it on the creative.

C

Testing needs volume

Without enough variants in market there was nothing to read, and the pipeline could not produce them fast enough.

D

Claims are regulated

Supplements sit close to a line. Copy kept drifting into territory Meta rejects and ASCI acts on, which cost days in rework.

03 / Our Approach

We started at the end of the funnel and worked backwards.

Most creative programmes start with reach and hope intent turns up later. We inverted it. Win with the people already close to buying, find out what moves them, then take that upward into colder audiences.

01

Start where the intent already is

The first wave went in front of retargeting and high-intent audiences on Meta only. Small audiences, fast reads, and no budget spent on people still deciding whether they care about magnesium at all.

02

Mechanism over mood

For this buyer the differentiator is how the product works. Three magnesium forms released over eight hours. Omega-3 in the form fish actually make. Sweetness from fruit instead of sugar. Every bottom of funnel creative leads with one of those and nothing else.

03

One objection against one proof

Each product ran in pairs. One creative answered the objection, one carried the evidence. Same product, same placement, same week, so the read stays clean and the pair teaches us something whichever way it lands.

04

Question first, statement second

The question version opens the loop and does the prospecting. The statement version answers it and does the retargeting. One idea, two jobs, run in sequence rather than against each other.

05

Compliance written into the brief

No disease claims. No addressing the reader's body. No before and after, and never a child shown as a result. Kids creative speaks to the parent. Every claim traces back to something already cleared. Writing inside the rules is faster than redrawing a rejected ad.

04 / The Work

Three products. Three jobs per product.

Every creative ran as a static on Meta at 4:5, sized for the feed. Within each product one creative asks the question, one makes the statement and one carries the proof.

Triple Magnesium Complex

The eight hour release is the reason to switch, so every creative here is built on it rather than on how tired anyone feels.

01Statement Creative

Still working at 3 AM

The retargeting workhorse. It names the hour the category quietly fails at and puts the mechanism beside it, 1000mg across three forms released over eight hours. Pack and capsule shot as evidence rather than as a product photo.

02Question Creative

What if your body had a DND mode?

The prospecting half of the pair. It borrows an interface everyone already understands and lets the reader answer the question themselves. The question interrogates the concept, never the reader's body.

03Proof Creative

Sleep isn't rest. It's repair.

Built on the three cleared trial figures. The claim strip does the selling, so the headline only has to reframe sleep as something the body is working through. That is what makes an eight hour supply matter.

Triple Strength Omega-3

Absorption is the whole argument here. Triglyceride form first, and the numbers that follow from it second.

04Statement Creative

A hundred thousand beats a day

A number the reader has never counted, attached to the organ they care most about. The absorption line and the EPA and DHA split carry the reason to move off a cheaper fish oil.

05Question Creative

Taking omega, but getting enough from it?

Aimed straight at the objection of the informed buyer, who is usually already taking something. A single capsule held up close, with the mechanism and the dose stacked beside it.

Tiny capsule. Big numbers. View full size →
06Proof Creative

Tiny capsule. Big numbers.

Four cleared figures on one frame, with the capsule rendered large enough to read as the subject. It closes people who have already accepted the argument and now want the evidence.

Kids Superfuel

Written for the parent and never for the child. Sugar is the objection every time, so we answered it in the headline rather than in the small print.

Taste kids love. Nutrition parents trust. View full size →
07Lifestyle Creative

Taste kids love. Nutrition parents trust.

The two jobs a children's product has to do at once, said in one line. Real fruit sweetness and the protein per scoop sit as callouts, so the parent gets the detail without the headline having to carry it.

Sugar? Not in this scoop. View full size →
08Objection Creative

Sugar? Not in this scoop.

The single biggest reason a parent puts the pack back down. Answering it directly, with the flavour and the nutrient count right there, turned it from a reason to leave into a reason to buy.

Super nutrition. Super childhood. View full size →
09Benefit Creative

Super nutrition. Super childhood.

Three benefits and no promises about height or performance. A child shown playing rather than shown as a result, which is both the compliant read and the more believable one.

05 / Results

The bottom got cheaper, then the rest followed.

Winning against high intent first meant the cheaper purchases were paying for the reach long before prospecting had to justify itself.

Net effect: cheaper purchases at the bottom paid for the reach at the top, and the mechanism lines that won on retargeting became the prospecting hooks.

06 / The Outcome

A creative system, not a run of ads.

What the brand has now is a repeatable way to build creative rather than a folder of finished files. Every product gets the same treatment. Find the mechanism, write the objection against the proof, ask it as a question for cold traffic and answer it as a statement for warm.

Claims are checked before the brief is written rather than after the ad is rejected, which is what lets the pipeline run at pace without the legal drag.

Because it starts with the buyers closest to purchase, the programme pays for itself before it is asked to scale. The winners earn their way up the funnel instead of being guessed at from the top.
