The Challenge

Brand Background

Hyland's is a brand specializing in natural health products, including vitamins, supplements, and homeopathic remedies for various needs such as immune support, sleep, stress, and pain relief. They offer products for all age groups, from infants to adults, and even have a line for pets. Hyland's emphasizes the use of natural ingredients, maintaining high-quality standards, and promoting overall wellness.

The Problem

Consumer brands with high retention and/or high subscription rates often don't achieve contribution margin profitability on the first order of a new customer acquisition (NCA). By improving ROAS performance for new customer acquisition, it unlocks their ability to scale more aggressively.

Hyland's Naturals consistently works with content creators to generate UGC (user generated content) video content for a wide range of products. While they have breadth of well-scripted UGC content, they lack depth of content for a particular product.

The Solution

Instead of going deep with Mixtape First Cut narratives for a single product, we generated a single compelling narrative across a set of 5 products.

Additionally, by analyzing their content against our 3-Act Brand Storytelling Framework and pattern-matching across data-proven narratives, we were able to advise Hyland's on content creation opportunities and scripting strategies to generate compelling Mixtape materials, and by default primary UGC content, for the future.

Once launched, Mixtape immediately outperformed existing creatives and delivered an astounding 10x ROAS improvement.

NEW NARRATIVES

Mixtape First Cut

The reason Mixtape is so effective in delivering ROAS boosts is because we use data-proven storytelling frameworks to generate compelling, new narratives hidden in your content library.

For each of the 5 products, we were able to discover a compelling persona and story angle best fit for the product. Below are 3 of the Mixtape First Cuts.

Authority

Product: Bioplasma Cell Salt
Leveraging an authority figure to bring to attention the importance of cell salts for overall health as a brand awareness to content marketing strategy.

Persona Mom

Product: Calm Forte
Combining the Mom Persona with a highly relatable lack-of-sleep problem and the need for moms to maximize their rest opportunities.

Problem-Solution

Product: Zen Sleep
A simple Problem-Solution narrative is powerful when targeting in-market consumers by focusing on solution differentiation.

POST PRODUCTION

Mixtape Final Cut

Creatives are the new targeting on ad platforms such as Meta and Tiktok. Hook Targeting is a critical element in testing and scaling ad spend. Mixtape Final Cut is designed by data-driven marketers and tailored specifically for data-driven growth teams to strategically test Hook Targeting and scale aggressively.

Mixtape Final Cut combines the selected Mixtape First Cut with 4 hooks and delivered in two aspect ratios, 6:19 and 4:5. This results in 8 video creative units. In Final Cut post production, you have access to an internal performance video design team where we craft end cards with a call-to-action, clean up all narrative fragments, add background music, design captions, add sound effects, and design hooks based on consumer purchase psychology. We deliver the assets based on a standardized naming convention to optimize data insights.

Below are the 4 hooks for Mom Persona Mixtape First Cut from above. The objective of the variants was to test hooks of varying degrees of need.

Hook 1

Angle: Absolute Need

"As a sleep deprived, busy mama supporting my sleep is a priority."

Hook 2

Angle: Pain Point

"I've had the absolute hardest time sleeping."

Hook 3

Angle: Infrequent Problem

"I'm normally a good sleeper, but sometimes I need some sleep support"

Hook 4

Angle: Non-Urgent

"I need to share with you my sleep support."
