ANECDOTE

Dragon's Den Spike Turned Into Growth Engine

  • Ed joined Seep after their Dragon's Den appearance and ramped spend to test ad performance quickly.
  • He found audiences resonated with Laura's story and they kept scaling spend without immediate efficiency drop, riding that momentum.
INSIGHT

Meta Is A Powerful But Fragile Growth Lever

  • Meta is both the primary growth driver and a vulnerability because algorithm shifts can abruptly change performance.
  • Diversifying channels and improving retention are essential to stabilise growth beyond Meta's volatility.
ADVICE

Use Natural Founder Storytelling In Ads

  • Use authentic founder storytelling that feels natural rather than forcing a narrative onto ads.
  • Show Laura's origin (she noticed non-sustainable cleaning products on shelves) to connect mission with product benefit.
