Services: LinkedIn Ads

Client Overview

Dad Bod Sculptors, founded by Dane Palarino, is the #1 coaching program helping men over 35 get fit on a busy schedule. Combining tailored health optimization strategies with a passion for holistic well-being, Dane and his team empower leaders to achieve peak performance in both business and personal life. However, while the mission resonated with their audience, they needed a strategic approach to maximize their presence and generate measurable results on LinkedIn.

Challenge:

Dad Bod Sculptors faced several key challenges

 

  • Low brand visibility: Reaching busy professionals in leadership roles required a hyper-targeted approach.
  • High cost per lead: Industry benchmarks for high-quality leads on LinkedIn were around $100 per lead, making cost efficiency a priority.
  • Limited engagement: Thought leadership content wasn’t gaining sufficient traction among their niche audience.

Additionally, as Dane’s program has an Lifetime Value (LTV) of $2,000 and a Lead-to-Customer (LTC) ratio of 3:1 (3 leads convert to 1 customer), optimizing cost per lead was essential for scaling profitably.

Our Approach:

Connor Alexis Creative implemented a strategic LinkedIn advertising campaign designed to balance cost-efficiency with lead quality. The strategy focused on:

 

  1. Lead Generation Campaign (Document Ads):
    Created and promoted actionable, downloadable resources tailored to busy professionals, encouraging them to opt into the program.
  2. Precise Targeting:
    Used LinkedIn’s professional demographic filters to identify high-level executives, founders, and men over 35 seeking time-efficient fitness solutions.
  3. Cost Optimization:
    Leveraged manual bidding and real-time performance adjustments to minimize costs while maximizing ROI.

Results Breakdown

The campaign delivered exceptional results, significantly exceeding industry benchmarks:

  • Leads Generated: 49 high-quality leads in just three weeks.
  • Cost Per Lead: Achieved a $29.23 CPL, outperforming the $100 industry standard by 70%.
  • Campaign Metrics:
    • Impressions: 36,803
    • Clicks: 156
    • Average CPC: $9.18
    • CTR: 0.42%

Impact on Revenue:

  • With an LTC ratio of 3:1, these 49 leads are expected to generate approximately 16 customers, bringing in $32,000 in revenue (based on a $2,000 LTV per customer).
  • The total ad spend of $1,432.09 resulted in a ROAS of 22,000%—an extraordinary return on investment for a cold audience campaign.
