Unlocking Profitable Growth with Creative Testing and Data-Driven Optimization

Founded in 2020 by Josefin Landgård, MANTLE merges Scandinavian minimalism with skincare innovation. Every formula is tried and tested in the extreme Scandinavian climate and developed in MANTLE’s Northern Swedish laboratory. The result is a curated collection of award-winning clean and clinical products, elevated by innovative ingredients.

THE CHALLENGE

Mantle’s paid social campaigns struggled with inconsistent performance, yielding limited success due to ad fatigue, ineffective budget allocation, and a lack of insight into profitable customer segments. Their reliance on a last-click attribution model further hindered accurate performance measurement and strategic decision-making.

THE SOLUTION

ReapDigital developed a multi-faceted strategy leveraging creative diversification and data-driven optimization to transform Mantle’s marketing approach.

1. Creative Diversification for Higher Engagement

To combat ad fatigue, ReapDigital introduced a structured creative testing framework. They experimented with diverse formats — including videos, images, and product catalogs—with variations in framing, text, and messaging. Implementing a full-funnel campaign structure optimized Mantle’s Advantage+ performance, attracting new audiences and enhancing profitability.

2. Data-Driven Optimization for Sustainable Growth

ReapDigital replaced Mantle’s outdated last-click attribution model with GA4’s data-driven attribution, providing a holistic view of the customer journey across multiple touchpoints. This allowed for smarter budget allocation and better ROI. Key campaign elements, such as attribution windows and prioritization of campaign objectives (e.g., "Awareness/Traffic" vs. "Purchase"), were continuously tested and refined. Additionally, by segmenting brand and non-brand campaigns in Google Ads and implementing routine adjustments to optimize bid strategies, ReapDigital maximized incremental revenue.

THE SOLUTION

ReapDigital’s data-driven and creative-first approach led to remarkable growth:
