FAVE / BRAND STORY + PERFORMANCE STRATEGY

The Clean Swap.
Keep the fun.

Familiar fruity flavors. An organic ingredient story. A clearer path from “that looks good” to choosing a flavor and finding where to buy it.

I connect the reason someone cares with the next action they can take. For Fave, that means keeping the joy of a familiar fruity drink, making the ingredient story easy to understand, and moving interested shoppers to the right flavor and retailer.

My focus: Brand storytelling, campaign strategy, search copy and the shopping journey.
The work: 4 RSA sets · 4 personas · 28 keyword ideas · 26 scoped negatives · creative & measurement strategy.

Fave Strawberry Lemonade product creative showing a packet poured into a glass beside the package — **Show what it is. Show how it fits.**
The packet, the preparation and the finished drink tell one clear story.

01 / THE CAMPAIGN IDEA

Nostalgia gets attention.
Clarity earns the next step.

The business problem

A shopper can like a bright product image without understanding what the product is, how to use it or where to buy it. The campaign must resolve those questions before asking for a sale.

The approach

Show the packet, the pour and the finished drink. Explain one meaningful product benefit. Match each search to the relevant flavor or variety pack. Make the retailer handoff explicit and measurable.

THE STORY

An ordinary glass of water can become a little moment of fun.

Start with the flavor someone recognizes. Make the organic drink-mix format obvious. Show the simple preparation, answer ingredient questions and give the shopper a clear retailer choice.

Keep the fun

Lead with flavor, color and a recognizable everyday moment. Give people a reason to want the drink before asking them to study its ingredients.

Make the choice understandable

Explain the organic ingredient story in plain language and provide a readable ingredient panel. Treat “clean swap” as a creative platform, not a scientific or nutritional certification.

Close the shopping gap

Use a clear flavor choice and named retailer buttons. Preserve campaign attribution through the handoff so retailer interest and verified purchases remain separate measures.

02 / DEMOGRAPHICS + PERSONAS

Understand the moment.
Then shape the message.

Behavior and intent lead. Demographics guide the first questions. Adult shoppers across genders. Use age and device reporting to learn rather than automatically excluding older adults or unknown-age search users.

These age ranges are proposed planning hypotheses, not Fave customer research or observed purchaser demographics. Translate any test into the platform’s available age bands; keep unknown-age search users in consideration.

Adults 28–49 · All genders · Planning profile

The thoughtful household shopper

A household grocery decision-maker who compares ingredient lists and wants something easy for shared routines.

Find a fruity drink option the household can enjoy without making shopping or preparation complicated.

What gets in the way: Will people like the taste? What is actually in it? Is this another oversized pantry purchase?
Message: Familiar flavor, clear ingredients, one easy packet.
What they need to see: Readable ingredients, current pack size, an honest pour demonstration and retailer options.
Measure the next step: Product views → ingredient engagement → retailer clicks → attributed purchases where available.

Adults 25–44 · All genders · Planning profile

The grown-up flavor fan

An adult who remembers fruit punch and lemonade and wants a flavorful break in the workday.

Make an ordinary glass of water feel like a small, enjoyable ritual.

What gets in the way: Ingredient-led brands can feel joyless; unfamiliar flavors can feel risky.
Message: Your fruity-drink era, refreshed.
What they need to see: Appetizing finished drink, a straightforward flavor description and visible mix format.
Measure the next step: Flavor detail views, retailer-click rate and attributable revenue per paid visit.

Adults 30–54 · All genders · Planning profile

The practical outing planner

An adult organizing picnics, lunches or weekend trips who values compact, simple supplies.

Bring a drink option that is easy to pack and prepare when water is available.

What gets in the way: Too much to carry, too many choices and uncertainty about preparation.
Message: Pack a little flavor for the day ahead.
What they need to see: Individual stick format, mixing instructions and a realistic bag-to-glass demonstration.
Measure the next step: Preparation-section engagement, retailer clicks and verified order economics.

Adults 21–34 · All genders · Planning profile

The flavor-first discoverer

A social-content viewer who notices color, food rituals and approachable product demonstrations.

Try something that looks enjoyable and fits an everyday routine.

What gets in the way: A beautiful ad can leave the product, ingredients and purchase path unclear.
Message: Meet your next favorite afternoon sip.
What they need to see: Immediate product identification, one use demonstration and a plain-language reason to try it.
Measure the next step: Qualified product visits and retailer clicks first; purchases only when retailer reporting confirms them.

How I would validate the audience

Reach and segmentation

Start in US locations the chosen retailers can serve. Confirm stock and shipping coverage before applying location targeting. Use store-radius messaging only after checking local availability.

Separate branded searches from nonbrand discovery. Compare occasions, flavor interest and retailer preference before making demographic cuts.

Evidence before exclusions

Review purchase quality, retailer-click quality and sample size by audience. A high click rate alone is not evidence that an age group is commercially valuable.

Use permitted first-party signals and platform-supported adult audiences. Avoid inferring health conditions, parental status or other personal details from creative engagement.

03 / BUYER INTENT

Give each search
the right answer.

Intent	What the shopper needs	Message and destination	Meaningful action
Brand / “fave drink mix”	Recognize the brand and choose a pack.	Fave lineup and variety pack.	Named retailer click, then attributed order.
Category / “organic drink mix”	Compare format, flavors and ingredients.	Ingredient clarity and the variety page.	Product consideration and retailer handoff quality.
Flavor / “strawberry lemonade mix”	Find the flavor they already want.	Strawberry Lemonade page with its exact retailer SKU.	Flavor-specific retailer order where reported.
Occasion / “drink mix packets”	Understand convenience and preparation.	Packet-to-glass demonstration and pack details.	Retailer purchase quality, with broader queries reviewed.

Brand and nonbrand traffic stay separate in the readout. An ingredient expansion helps diagnose interest; a retailer click shows shopping intent; a confirmed order establishes a purchase.

04 / THE BRAND, MADE VISIBLE

Make it joyful.
Make it understandable.

Orange, pink and yellow make the campaign feel energetic. The product stays central, and the imagery connects a recognizable flavor to a simple everyday moment.

Three stories to test in paid social

The flavor comeback

Your fruity-drink era, refreshed.

Meet Fave: organic drink mixes in the flavors you still reach for. Pour a packet, add water and make an ordinary break a little more fun. Explore the flavors and find your retailer.

Headline: Find your next Fave
CTA: Explore flavors

Test: Flavor nostalgia will encourage more qualified product exploration than ingredient-only messaging.

The simple everyday ritual

One little packet. A brighter break.

A desk break. A picnic. A glass of ice on the kitchen counter. Fave makes fruity flavor easy to bring along. See the ingredients, choose a flavor and shop with your preferred retailer.

Headline: A little more fun in your day
CTA: Choose your flavor

Test: A recognizable use occasion will make the product easier to understand and lift retailer handoff quality.

The choice made clear

Love the flavor. Read the ingredients.

Fave pairs familiar fruity flavors with an organic ingredient story you can explore for yourself. See what is inside, compare the flavors and find the pack that fits your routine.

Headline: Meet the organic drink mix
CTA: Explore Fave

Test: Transparent product information will reduce uncertainty for comparison shoppers.

A creator brief that makes the product clear

Make an adult shopper understand what Fave is, why it fits an everyday moment and where to explore or buy it.

Deliverables

Two 20–30-second vertical videos with different opening hooks.
One short packet-to-glass demonstration cut.
Three stills: readable package, preparation and finished drink.

Use bright natural light, clean sound, large captions and orange/pink/yellow brand accents. Keep logos, captions and product away from interface overlays. Include a clear paid-partnership disclosure where required.

30-second story

0–3 seconds: Start with the finished drink and a plain hook: “A little more fun in my afternoon break.”
3–8 seconds: Show the current package clearly. Identify it as Fave organic drink mix.
8–16 seconds: Open one packet, add it to water according to the current package and stir or shake. Keep the preparation realistic.
16–23 seconds: Give one truthful, personal flavor observation if the creator has actually tried the product. Show the finished drink.
23–30 seconds: Close with “Explore the flavors at Fave” and the campaign landing destination.

Use truthful firsthand reactions, readable current packaging and approved claims. Confirm the final SKU artwork and retailer availability before launch.

05 / RESPONSIVE SEARCH ADS

fave return policy	Exact	New-customer acquisition only	Post-purchase support rather than acquisition intent.

Do not add the single word “free”: it could block useful searches such as caffeine free drink mix or free shipping.
Do not add “jobs” globally across every campaign; use a phrase such as “fave jobs” for a confirmed hiring query.
Do not block “recipe” across the account. DIY-only searches can be excluded exactly while product-use ideas can remain useful content traffic.
Keep support, wholesale and retailer-location queries out of the consumer acquisition campaign only when they have a better destination.
Review singulars, plurals and semantic alternatives explicitly; do not assume negative keywords behave like positive-match expansion.

07 / AFTER THE CLICK

A clear path
from flavor to retailer.

LANDING-PAGE MESSAGE

Make your everyday sip a little more Fave.

Explore organic drink mixes in familiar fruity flavors. Pick your flavor, see the ingredients and choose where to shop.

First action: Explore the flavors

Retailer actions: Shop on Amazon · Shop on Thrive Market

Match the promise

Brand and category searches lead to the variety page; Strawberry Lemonade searches lead directly to that flavor; convenience searches highlight format and preparation before the retailer choice.

Test one meaningful decision at a time: direct flavor choice versus variety-first discovery, or a single primary retailer versus an equally weighted retailer choice. Keep purchase tracking and stock conditions comparable.

The landing-page content plan

Recognize the product

Above the fold: current pack, finished drink, one product sentence and an obvious next step.

Find the right flavor

Four clear flavor choices plus a variety option. Keep each selection connected to its exact retailer SKU.

See the preparation

A concise, accessible packet-and-water demonstration with current instructions in readable text.

Understand the ingredients

Actual ingredient and nutrition information, accessible without reading tiny text inside an image.

Choose where to buy

Explicit retailer buttons, current availability checks and a clear indication that checkout happens on the retailer site.

Answer the last questions

Taste, pack format, preparation, ingredients and where to shop. Use genuine, approved customer proof when available.

Use readable type, strong contrast, descriptive image text, visible focus states and real text for claims. Avoid copy embedded exclusively in a screenshot.

08 / AD SPEND + MEASUREMENT

A test with a purpose.
Economics you can inspect.

$6,000 proposed media budget over 30 days.

Use a separate branded search campaign and one nonbrand campaign with three focused ad groups. Do not fragment a modest budget into dozens of audiences, placements or experiments.

Planning allocation and modeled outcomes. Budget excludes creative production, creator compensation, agency services, sampling, shipping, retailer fees and taxes.

Allocation	Budget	What it should teach us
Google Search · brand	$600	Capture existing brand and variety-pack intent; report separately from new-customer discovery.
Google Search · organic category	$1,800	Test the broadest product-relevant nonbrand demand with exact and phrase keyword sets.
Google Search · Strawberry Lemonade	$600	Match flavor-specific searches to a flavor-specific product page.
Google Search · family convenience	$600	Test packet and preparation intent with adult shoppers.
Meta · creative discovery	$1,800	Test two strongest story angles with adult audiences using a small number of creative cells.
Held test reserve	$600	Release only to a verified opportunity after checking tracking, retailer stock and economics.

Initial active allocation averages $180 per day over 30 days, with $600 held back. Set explicit platform and account spend controls; platform daily delivery can fluctuate.

INTERACTIVE PLANNING SCENARIO / GOOGLE SEARCH ONLY

Follow the money past the retailer click.

Change an assumption to see how acquisition economics move. These inputs are planning assumptions to validate with live data.

Search media spend ($)Cost per search click ($)Visitors clicking to retailer (%)Retailer clicks becoming orders (%)Net revenue per order ($)Contribution margin before ads (%)

Modeled search clicks3,000

Modeled retailer clicks1,350

Modeled retailer orders135

Modeled net sales$3,375.00

Modeled net-sales ROAS0.94×

Break-even cost per order$10.00

Break-even net-sales ROAS2.50×

Modeled contribution after ads-$2,250.00

Orders = search clicks × retailer-click rate × retailer purchase rate. Net-sales ROAS = attributed net sales ÷ spend. Contribution margin should account for product cost, retailer fees, fulfillment and other variable costs before advertising. Use the same revenue basis and attribution window throughout. These are modeled orders, not reported sales.

Measure the full journey

Stage	Event	What it tells us
Attention	Ad impressions, video engagement and clicks	Creative response; not purchase intent by itself.
Product consideration	Product view, flavor selection, ingredient expansion	Observable interaction with the offer; useful diagnostic behavior.
Retailer intent	retailer_click with retailer, product, campaign and creative identifiers	An outbound shopping action. It is not an order, a purchase conversion or ROAS.
Verified commerce	Retailer-attributed purchases, units and revenue where access permits	Retailer-confirmed commerce reported with its attribution model and limitations.

Retailer clicks and confirmed purchases are separate.

Profitable, verified retailer purchases attributable to the campaign, with incrementality treated as a separate question.

Show spend, clicks, retailer clicks, verified orders, revenue, acquisition cost and attribution coverage together. Add source, window and revenue basis to every results table. If retailer purchases are unavailable, show “purchase reporting unavailable,” not zero sales.

Retailer attribution and ROAS definitions

Amazon

If the brand account is eligible, create Amazon Attribution tags by channel and meaningful creative or ad group. Preserve the assigned tag on the final retailer URL; validate the tagged click path. Reconcile reporting using Amazon’s documented 14-day last-touch model.

Thrive Market

Request retailer-provided campaign links and purchase reporting through the actual brand relationship. If that access is unavailable, report outbound clicks only; do not manufacture a purchase event or ROAS.

Sprouts / store finder

Treat a store-finder action as local shopping intent. Retail sales or lift requires an agreed retailer report or a suitable geographic test; locator clicks are not store purchases.

Keep the readout honest

UTM parameters alone do not reveal checkout activity on a separate retailer site.
Do not add together platform-reported revenue and retailer-reported revenue without reconciling overlap.
Separate brand and nonbrand results so existing demand does not conceal weak acquisition economics.
Attribution assigns credit; it does not prove that every credited order was incremental.
Keep purchase optimization and engagement optimization labels honest when purchase feedback is not available to the ad platform.

Metric	Calculation
Click-through rate	Ad clicks ÷ ad impressions
Retailer handoff rate	Unique retailer-click sessions ÷ paid landing sessions
Cost per retailer-click session	Ad spend ÷ unique retailer-click sessions
Attributed cost per order	Ad spend ÷ verified attributed orders
Attributed revenue ROAS	Verified attributed revenue ÷ ad spend
Allowable first-order acquisition cost	Net recognized revenue per order − product, fulfillment, retailer, payment and other variable costs
Break-even revenue ROAS	1 ÷ contribution margin rate, using a consistent revenue basis
Incremental ROAS	Incremental revenue estimated from a valid test ÷ incremental ad spend

09 / TEST, LEARN, DECIDE

Know what you’re testing.
Know what changes next.

Before spend

Make the purchase path measurable

Launch only when click events fire once, land on the intended product and preserve the correct tags.

Actions

Validate the latest package and SKU claims.
Check mobile page speed, flavor links, stock and retailer availability.
Implement consent-aware campaign tags, retailer-click events and eligible retailer attribution.
Record baseline branded traffic and define allowable acquisition cost from contribution economics.

Days 1–7

Find obvious friction

Fix broken tracking or destinations immediately. Avoid declaring a winner from a handful of clicks.

Actions

Begin with exact and phrase search intent; inspect real queries.
Test two social stories: flavor nostalgia versus everyday convenience.
Hold audience, retailer destination and format steady when comparing the two messages.
Inspect spend, broken journeys, irrelevant queries and suspicious engagement daily.

Days 8–14

Improve the handoff

Keep an inconclusive cell labeled inconclusive. Release reserve only when the signal and business case justify it.

Actions

Compare qualified landing-page visits and retailer clicks by message and search group.
Test one landing-page variable, such as the flavor choice or retailer-button wording.
Use the retailer attribution report where eligible; allow its reporting delay.
Consolidate cells that cannot accumulate useful evidence.

Days 15–21

Evaluate purchase quality

Move spend toward sustainable purchase economics, not simply the lowest-cost traffic.

Actions

Read purchase and revenue data separately from on-site engagement.
Check whether stronger results come from brand demand, new discovery or retailer selection.
Review actual acquisition cost against the contribution target.
Produce one new creative variation that addresses the best-supported friction.

Days 22–30 + attribution closeout

Decide the next investment

Recommend scale, another focused test or a pause. The calendar alone is not a reason to spend more.

Actions

Compare mature cohorts using a consistent attribution window.
Assess creative fatigue, marginal acquisition cost, stock and landing-page performance.
Write a readout showing the hypothesis, evidence, confidence and next action.
Complete the final report after the retailer attribution window closes for the last paid clicks.

Decision	Operating rule
Stop immediately	Pause affected ads for broken checkout links, unavailable products, incorrect claims, duplicate conversions or broken attribution. Repair and verify before resuming.
Stop a clear mismatch	Exclude search terms that plainly seek a different product or task. A mismatch does not need to consume the full test budget.
Investigate a spending threshold	Once a cell spends three times its pre-agreed allowable cost per order with no verified orders, pause and investigate after the attribution window matures. This is a practical risk limit, not proof that the creative can never work.
Keep learning	If the sample is small or retailer reporting is incomplete, consolidate the test and resolve the missing evidence. Do not call a low-data cell a winner or loser.
Scale carefully	Scale only after multiple mature cohorts meet the acquisition target, tracking is reliable and stock can support demand. A proposed operating rule is a 10–20% budget increase followed by at least 72 hours of monitoring, while allowing the full retailer window before final judgment.
Refresh creative	When frequency rises and conversion quality or retailer-click rate declines on comparable traffic, test a new hook or demonstration. Do not replace an ad solely because it has been live for a fixed number of days.
Do not scale on a proxy alone	A strong video view rate or low cost per outbound click is useful for diagnosis. Without verified sales or a consciously bounded research objective, it does not establish profitable growth.

The spend thresholds and budget changes above are proposed operating rules. Set them against actual contribution economics, measurement access, sample size and conversion lag.
