Analysis
What the numbers show
This food and beverage brand worked with us on Meta ads, Google Ads and ad videos. When we started, it made ₹1.9L a month in revenue. 5 months later, in 2024, it made ₹8.4L a month.
In plain numbers: monthly revenue went from ₹1.9L to ₹8.4L in 5 months. Month 5 was 4.4 times the starting month, ₹6.5L more than the month we started (+342%). Spread over the 5 months, that is an average rise of about ₹1.3L a month.
Ad spend went from ₹60K in the starting month to ₹2.3L in month 5. Revenue came to ₹3.17 for each ₹1 of ad spend at the start and ₹3.65 in month 5. So revenue rose faster than ad spend.
Next to the other 11 real food and beverage cases in our records, this brand had a bigger rise against its own starting month than 4 of them, took fewer months than 7 (the same as 1) and ended at a higher monthly revenue than 1. The middle case of the 12 reached 4.5 times its starting month (6 of the 12 reached that or less), and the middle time taken was 6 months (7 of the 12 took that long or less).

How we run it
How we run it, why, and how it works
Why
We do not have this brand's account notes from that time, so here is what usually holds back a food and beverage brand, from our own food and beverage guide.
The buyer cannot taste the product until it arrives. Order values are low, and shipping can eat the margin on a single pack, so bundles and combos matter.
How we usually run meta ads, Google Ads and ad videos for a brand like this, from our own service pages and guides.
Read the account first
What we do
We get access to the ad account and the store, check that sales are recorded correctly, and read the past campaigns before we change anything.
Make people want it
What we do
We use sensory videos and the honest first reactions of creators in taste tests.
Scripts first, approved by the brand
What we do
Our in-house team writes every script and its opening lines, and each brand approves every script before we shoot.
Several openings per video
What we do
Each video gets several openings, and each opening runs as its own ad.
Google beside Meta
What we do
Google Search and Shopping run beside the Meta ads. Meta finds new buyers, Google catches the people already searching, and what they search for shapes the next Meta ads.
New videos before the old ones wear out
What we do
New openings and new creators go live on the ideas that already sell, before the old videos wear out.
How it works, for every brand
One in-house team in Surat writes, shoots and edits the ad videos and runs the Meta and Google campaigns they go into, so the people who see the numbers are the people who make the next ad.

The numbers
How to read these numbers
Our records hold two months for this brand: monthly revenue in the month we started (₹1.9L) and in month 5 (₹8.4L), 5 months later, in 2024. Ad spend in those two months comes from the same records (₹60K and ₹2.3L).
The chart puts those two months on a line of the real number of months and joins them with a dashed line. We do not have the months in between, so the page shows no figure for them.
Figures marked “worked out” are plain sums of those numbers: the rise in rupees and in per cent, how many times the starting month, the average rise a month, and revenue for each ₹1 of ad spend (revenue divided by ad spend in the same month).
The comparison uses only the 200 real cases in our records. 12 of them are food and beverage brands, and this page is one of them. The middle case is the one in the middle when all 12 are put in order.
