MOST D2C BRANDS SCALE BADLY ON META
Standard approach: find a winning ad set, duplicate 5 times, throw budget at it. This works until roughly $20–30K/month when audience saturation and creative fatigue cause ROAS to collapse faster than new creatives can be tested. Sustainable scaling requires a creative testing machine, disciplined campaign structure, and a clear ROAS threshold for scaling decisions.
