Case Study · NE10 Vodka

6.2x return on ad spend over Black Friday to Cyber Monday

NE10 Vodka is a UK flavoured vodka brand. I took over their Meta ads in October 2025 with one job: bring in customers at a cost that made sense, then make the most of the biggest trading weeks of the year. This is the media buying behind it.

What I actually did

1

One sales campaign, budget at the top

Everything ran through a single sales campaign with the budget set at campaign level. That let Meta move money to whatever was winning on the day, instead of me splitting it by hand and guessing.

2

Ad sets split by offer, not by audience

Each ad set held one idea: a batch of new creative, a two-bottle duo offer, and later the Black Friday offers. When something worked, we knew exactly which offer it was.

3

Spend pointed at the easy first purchase

I narrowed spend towards NE10's most popular, lowest-barrier bottles, so a first-time buyer had less to think about. In the first month the account drove 120 purchases at 3.6x return on ad spend.

4

Black Friday went live a week early

The Black Friday offers launched on 21 November, a full week before Black Friday itself. By the time demand peaked, Meta already had a week of data on which offers and which bottles people were buying.

5

Let the winners take the budget

Two hero-product Black Friday ads took 85% of the spend and drove 85% of the purchases. I didn't force money back into the others. When Meta piles budget into one ad, that's a signal it has found something, and over Black Friday it was right.
