3X ROAS

Overview

JG Wentworth, a household name in structured settlements, entered the highly competitive debt relief category and needed a performance-driven approach to break through. While the brand carried strong authority, success in this vertical required platform-native creative and a compliant, conversion-focused paid media strategy.

We supported the launch by implementing a high-volume creative testing framework across paid social, with a focus on short-form video and static variations. By managing TikTok ad buying and iterating on creative weekly, we built a system designed to translate brand equity into scalable, direct response performance while navigating strict financial advertising regulations.

Results

  • The campaign successfully established JG Wentworth in the debt relief space, driving consistent lead volume with strong efficiency. Creative performance exceeded engagement benchmarks, while Cost Per Lead remained 20% below industry averages.
  • Through disciplined testing and optimization, campaigns achieved 3x ROAS, demonstrating the effectiveness of pairing compliant messaging with high-performing, platform-native creative. Close coordination with platform teams ensured all assets met regulatory standards without sacrificing performance, allowing for sustained scaling in a highly regulated category.
  • Conclusion

    Entering a competitive, compliance-heavy vertical requires more than brand recognition. It demands a structured approach to creative, testing, and media execution.

    By combining a high-cadence creative flywheel with disciplined paid media strategy, we enabled JG Wentworth to successfully penetrate and scale within the debt relief market. This case reinforces that even in sensitive financial categories, performance marketing can drive meaningful growth when creative and compliance are executed in lockstep.
