- +40%

- 9 months
- Timeframe
Problem
The company had proof paid media worked at a small budget but no system for scaling it without efficiency collapsing — a common wall for post-seed SaaS.
Approach
- Modeled unit economics first: payback period, LTV, and sales cycle by segment.
- Sequenced budget increases against measurable saturation signals, not a fixed monthly target.
- Layered in an AI-assisted media buying workflow to reallocate budget across channels daily.
Execution
- Scaled spend 7x across Google and LinkedIn over 9 months in deliberate, tested increments.
- Built channel-level efficiency dashboards the founder could read in under a minute.
- Ran continuous incrementality tests to separate genuine lift from attribution noise.
Outcome
Spend scaled 7x without efficiency collapsing — revenue efficiency actually improved 40% as the system matured.
