Case Study: Shanda – Scalable Paid Social Growth Engine

Overview

Shanda partnered with me to launch a full-funnel paid social system designed to combine the authenticity of UGC with the power of AI-driven creatives and structured media buying. The goal: test fast, find winners, and scale profitably across multiple markets.

The Challenge

Shanda needed a paid social framework that could:
Launch multiple creatives quickly without wasting ad spend
Discover which ad styles resonate most with their audience
Build a performance engine that could scale efficiently

The Solution

🎬 Creative Production
I built a 29-ad creative package tailored for TikTok, Instagram, and Meta:
14 UGC-style native videos (authentic, creator-first ads)
10 AI-enhanced videos (voice AI, motion graphics, smart subtitling)
5 static ads (optimized for feeds and stories)
🎯 Audience Strategy
Tested creatives across four key audience buckets:
Interest-based targeting (23–45, multi-country)
Broad/Advantage+ audiences
Website retargeting (30-day)
1% lookalikes of top converters
⚙️ Technical Setup
Meta Pixel tracking (CompleteRegistration event)
Manual placements (Reels, Stories, Feeds)
Smart testing cycles with budget control to cut losers early

The Process

I structured the campaign to run 29 creatives × 4 audiences, allowing 116 micro-tests. This testing system quickly surfaced top-performing ads while minimizing wasted budget.

The Results

🚀 Launch-Ready Engine – Built Shanda a scalable testing system that could run 29 creatives at once.
💸 Cost Efficiency – Saved budget by cutting underperformers early in the cycle.
🔑 Creative Insights – UGC videos with AI enhancements outperformed all other formats.

The Takeaway

By blending authentic UGC, AI-powered storytelling, and structured media buying, I equipped Shanda with a performance engine designed for scalable, profitable growth—where creative meets data-driven efficiency.
