01 · The challenge

Creative volume capped internally.

Licorice, one of the Goatfoods confectionery brands, had a strong product and a real scaling opportunity, but no internal capacity to produce creative at the volume or quality the ad accounts needed. Performance was getting throttled by creative supply, not demand.

02 · The strategy

Double output on day one, then roll the playbook portfolio-wide.

Adcrate immediately doubled Licorice's creative volume without sacrificing quality. Once the model was proven, we extended the playbook across other Goatfoods brands (caramels and pretzels), proving the framework wasn't product-specific. We replaced the previous agency and became the primary creative partner during the scaling phase.

Social and widescreen formats, conversion-focused concepts, and consistent weekly output kept the brands ahead of fatigue and in position to push through Black Friday.

03 · The results

100% YoY. 5x Black Friday. Multi-brand scale.

Over 12 months, Licorice delivered 100% YoY growth on $900K+ in Adcrate-managed spend and 21,000+ new customers. Multiple individual ads scaled to six-figure spend, and Black Friday revenue came in at 5x the prior year, the best Black Friday in the brand's history. The playbook now anchors multiple Goatfoods brands.
