Case Study: Dominating the Nutra Market with Compliant Aggression on TikTok

Posted on April 15, 2025

TikTok's ad policies are a minefield for Nutra products, but its user base is a goldmine. The challenge with our client's new energy supplement was to create a high-impact campaign that wouldn't get banned. Our solution was to operate in the gray area of user-generated content (UGC). We didn't make claims; we showed results. Our team recruited 50 micro-influencers in the fitness and productivity space to create authentic-looking "day in the life" videos. The videos followed a strict formula: start with a problem (mid-day slump, lack of focus), introduce the product subtly as part of their routine, and end with a high-energy outcome (a completed workout, a finished project).

The campaign's magic was in its authenticity. The content didn't look like ads, so they flew under TikTok's radar. We used the platform's Spark Ads feature to pour our ad budget into the best-performing organic videos, amplifying their reach to millions. By turning testimonials into our primary creative asset, we built trust and sidestepped compliance issues. The campaign achieved a 5x ROAS within 60 days and established the product as a category leader on the platform.
