Melleka Marketing
for Vegamour

Performance Review & Meta Growth Proposal

How we transformed your Google Ads performance, and the case for unifying your paid media under one full-funnel team.

Prepared June 2026  ·  Confidential  ·  Analysis: April 15, 2026 to present

01
Executive Summary

When Melleka took over Vegamour's Google Ads on April 15, 2026, we inherited an account spending heavily with little structure and no efficiency guardrails. In our first sixty days we rebuilt it, and the results are unambiguous.

ROAS
3.20x
+87% YoY
Revenue
+72%
$1.80M vs $1.05M
Spend
-8.1%
$561K vs $611K
May vs May
+89%
Revenue, near-identical spend

But the more important finding came from your Shopify data. The acquisition side of your business had been declining ~38% before we arrived. Since takeover it reversed to +14% growth. Meanwhile your subscription base, which represents the majority of revenue, has continued to soften. That single fact reframes the priority for the entire business: new-customer acquisition is now the most important growth lever you have.

Your Shopify reports also revealed something that should concern any brand spending over a million dollars a month on Meta: last-click attribution credits your paid social with almost none of the revenue it actually drives. Meta sends roughly a quarter-million sessions into your funnel that convert later through branded search, direct, and subscriptions, and a platform managed in isolation can never see or optimize for that.

Vegamour's paid media is being run in silos that cannot see each other. Melleka already manages your Google and has visibility into your Shopify. We are uniquely positioned to unify the funnel, measure Meta's true contribution, coordinate acquisition across platforms, and rebuild the new-customer engine that refills your subscription base.

02
The Mandate: What We Took On

Melleka assumed management of Vegamour's Google Ads account on April 15, 2026. The account we inherited had real structural problems:

Our mandate was to restore efficiency without sacrificing volume. What follows is what we delivered.

03
Google Ads: The Results Since Takeover

All comparisons below are year-over-year for the period we have managed the account (April 15 to June 15), unless otherwise noted.

Headline Performance
Metric 2026 (Melleka) 2025 (Prior) Change
ROAS 3.20x 1.71x +87%
Ad Spend $560,947 $610,630 −8.1%
Revenue $1,795,439 $1,046,364 +71.6%
Conversions 16,855 9,303 +81.2%
Cost per Click $2.32 $3.68 −37.1%
Click-through Rate 1.82% 0.41% +1.41pp

We are spending less and earning substantially more. Click-through rate more than quadrupled and cost per click fell by over a third, evidence of dramatically tighter targeting.

The Cleanest Comparison: May 2026 vs May 2025

May is the strongest like-for-like proof point because spend was nearly identical across both years.

Metric May 2026 May 2025 Change
Ad Spend $311,537 $306,195 +1.7%
Revenue $966,689 $511,640 +89.0%
Conversions 10,128 5,290 +91.5%
ROAS 3.10x 1.67x +85.6%
Cost per Click $2.10 $3.54 −40.7%
Click-through Rate 1.72% 0.39% +1.33pp

On virtually identical spend (+1.7%), Melleka produced 89% more revenue and nearly doubled conversions. This is the single strongest proof point in the account.

What We Actually Changed
  1. Recalibrated all tROAS targets to real purchase values, not inflated engagement metrics. Google had been optimizing against the wrong conversion signals.
  2. Paused or restructured unprofitable campaigns (Video 0.26x, DG 0.94x, Shopping sub-1x). Reallocated that budget to proven performers.
  3. Separated branded from non-branded search so we could see true incremental contribution and stop subsidizing branded terms that convert organically.
  4. Removed 44 negative keywords that were blocking revenue. Rosemary, minoxidil, and competitor comparison terms had been negated, blocking exactly the audience most likely to convert.
  5. Launched new campaigns targeting subscription purchasers specifically, feeding the highest-LTV audience your business has.
Campaign-Level YoY: Where the Gains Came From
Campaign Type Spend 2026 ROAS 2026 Spend 2025 ROAS 2025 Delta
Branded Search $178,539 4.05x $159,233 4.30x −0.25x
NB Search $30,948 1.90x $41,694 0.38x +1.52x
PMax $208,714 3.39x $382,505 1.32x +2.07x
Shopping $128,782 2.55x $18,427 0.82x +1.73x
DG / Video $13,963 0.22x $8,769 0.49x −0.27x

Key insight: PMax moved from 64% of spend to 37%, while ROAS improved from 1.32x to 3.39x. Shopping was rebuilt from an 0.82x loss center to a 2.55x contributor. The combined effect: more revenue from a smaller, more efficient spend footprint.

The Acquisition Trend

Before Melleka took over (Jan to mid-April), Vegamour's acquisition revenue was in a clear decline, approximately 38% below the prior-year trajectory. Since takeover, that trend has reversed to +14% growth. The subscription base, however, continues to soften.

This is the strategic framing for the entire proposal: subscriptions are the majority of revenue, but they are a trailing indicator. Every subscriber started as a new customer acquired through paid media. If acquisition slows, the subscription base erodes 3 to 6 months later. Rebuilding the top of the funnel is how you protect the bottom line.

The Attribution Problem

Vegamour's Shopify data reveals a pattern common in high-spend DTC brands:

The bottom line: any team managing Meta must also have visibility into Google and Shopify to understand what their spend actually produces. Melleka already has both.

05
The Strategic Opportunity on Meta

Vegamour currently spends over $1M per month on Meta Ads, managed by a separate team. We are not proposing to simply "take over" that spend. We are proposing to integrate it into a unified acquisition system where both platforms are measured the same way and optimized toward the same goal: new customers who become subscribers.

What Cross-Platform Visibility Unlocks
  1. True incrementality measurement. We can run holdout tests across Google and Meta simultaneously, measuring the real lift each platform provides rather than relying on self-reported ROAS from either.
  2. Unified budget allocation. Instead of two teams competing for their own platform metrics, one team allocates the total acquisition budget to wherever the marginal dollar produces the most new subscribers.
  3. Cross-platform audience coordination. Meta prospect audiences can be excluded from Google remarketing (and vice versa), eliminating the overlap waste that is invisible when platforms run independently.
  4. Subscription-optimized bidding. Google's Subscription PMax campaign (currently our best performer per subscriber) can inform Meta audience strategy, and Meta's first-touch prospecting data can feed Google's remarketing lists.

The core argument: Vegamour does not have a Google problem or a Meta problem. It has an acquisition system that is being run in pieces. Unifying it under one team with shared visibility and shared measurement is how you reverse the subscription decline.

06
Why Melleka Should Manage Your Meta

This is not a capabilities pitch. This is a structural argument about information flow.

  1. We already own the conversion infrastructure. We manage Google Ads, we have access to GA4, and we have visibility into Shopify revenue by channel. Adding Meta to this gives us the complete picture. No other team can assemble this view.
  2. We proved the methodology works. On Google, we took ROAS from 1.71x to 3.20x in sixty days by recalibrating targets, killing waste, and restructuring around real purchase data. The same playbook applies to Meta.
  3. We report on real revenue, not platform metrics. Our daily ROAS brief already shows Google performance against Shopify revenue. Adding Meta to that report means one source of truth for the entire paid media program.
  4. We will not protect the spend. If Meta is not pulling its weight, we will reduce it and move budget to where it converts. An agency whose revenue depends on Meta spend has an incentive to keep spending. We do not.
