Background

Opportunities for Growth
  • Brand message needed refinement to connect beyond elite athletes.
  • CAC was inconsistent and unsustainable at scale.
  • Owned channels underperformed and weren’t integrated with performance efforts.
  • Needed creative diversity to support growth across product lines.
  • Email automation didn’t align with lifecycle strategy
  • Campaign strategy and segmentation was not existent

What We Did

We helped reposition Cheribundi with messaging that married performance with wellness and recovery for everyday consumers. Our creative approach focused on product benefits, use cases, and social proof. On the retention side, we launched a full lifecycle in Klaviyo—targeting first-time buyers, subscription opt-ins, and lapsed customers with high-impact flows.

Outcomes

Our work helped reduce CAC while increasing subscriber growth and retention rates. Cheribundi built a stronger base of loyalists and scaled efficiently across both top and bottom funnel channels.
