The

Challenge

Nomad The Label is a direct-to-consumer fashion brand with a large catalog of products across multiple ranges. The owner had been self-managing ads across Google and Facebook, but reached a ceiling. After discovering Market Lead through a podcast, they came on board with ambitious targets:

Scale annual revenue from $1 million to $4 million in year one, and reach $10 million+ in year two. The business needed to transition from self-managed campaigns to a professional, scalable strategy. There was no structured segmentation across a high volume of products, and Google Ads revenue was sitting at roughly $40,000/month with a 350% ROAS.

Strategy and

Execution

Market Lead identified that with the volume of products and product ranges, a traditional segmentation approach based on categories wouldn’t be effective. Instead, the team built a custom algorithm that dynamically categorized products into four performance-based segments using six key metrics.

Custom Product Segmentation Algorithm

Self-built algorithm categorizing all products into four core segments based on impression benchmarks, click benchmarks, spend benchmarks, sales volume benchmarks, conversion rate benchmarks, and ROAS benchmarks.

Performance Max Campaigns

Hyper-segmented feed-only Performance Max campaigns structured around dynamic product performance rather than product ranges. Budget allocation adjusted automatically as products moved between performance tiers.

Product Feed Optimization

Automated product feed optimizations to improve shopping ad positioning, increase CTRs, and capture greater market share across Google Shopping. Launched segmented sales and new range campaigns alongside YouTube Ads.

Channel Expansion & Attribution

Expanded into Microsoft Ads achieving consistent 1,000% ROAS. Implemented third-party attribution tracking to ensure accurate revenue reporting across all channels beyond platform-reported metrics.
