Rebuilding a struggling Meta ad account into a predictable profit engine in 12 weeks.
Cion is a science-backed skincare brand built around minimalist, dermatologist-approved formulations. By the time they came to Lion Media, the product had clear market fit, but their Meta ad performance was deteriorating, CPA was eating margins, and ROAS had stalled.

Cion had an active Meta ad account, but performance had decayed to the point where every additional dollar of ad spend was reducing profit instead of growing it.
● Key challenges included:
● Rising CPA that was
eroding margins
● Creative fatigue across the existing
ad library
● Tracking gaps producing unreliable
performance data
● Optimization decisions made on
platform vanity metrics

We rebuilt Cion’s full-funnel Meta strategy from the ground up using a structured, data-driven approach.
Our focus was to:
● Deploy server-side conversion tracking for
accurate attribution
● Introduce a structured performance creative system
to combat fatigue
● Rebuild campaign architecture across prospecting,
retargeting, and retention
● Scale spend methodically against
verified ROAS targets
This shifted Cion from chasing platform vanity metrics to optimizing against real contribution margin.

Meta became the primary lever for engineered growth. Facebook and Instagram were rebuilt as one connected acquisition engine across prospecting, retargeting, and retention.
Inside Meta we:
● Deployed Infinite Creative Testing™ across hooks, formats, and angles to break creative fatigue
● Rebuilt campaign structure around verified ROAS targets and contribution margin
● Implemented server-side conversion tracking for accurate, granular attribution
● Scaled spend methodically with weekly optimization cycles tied to real revenue data
Within 12 weeks, Cion’s Meta account moved from eroding profit to compounding it.
