Customer Spotlight: Playbook Media

Playbook Media: Performance Powerhouse
Ever feel like your growth engine is sputtering? One fast-scaling DTC brand did. Their once-reliable search and social channels hit a wall, leaving them searching for answers. Then they met Playbook Media, led by Bryan Karas, a former Meta mastermind.
Playbook Media doesn't just do ads; they weave stories. Their secret weapon? Performance Branding—a powerful blend of emotional connection and measurable results, all fueled by the might of CTV. Forget generic impressions! Playbook Media crafted a brilliant 30-second CTV spot, a relatable tale about that classic "oops, wrong gift!" moment. It wasn't just an ad; it was a conversation starter, designed to stick.
The result? Explosive. Conversions shot up 15-20% across all digital channels. Organic and direct traffic surged like a tidal wave. This wasn't a fleeting spike; it was sustainable, game-changing growth.
Bryan Karas put it best: "Every channel started performing better. Search picked up. Social picked up. Even organic traffic moved. And we could tie it all back to that CTV lift."
