Case Study
Lodo

Additional $500K/Month in Revenue in 3 Months (5.43X ROAS) in a Heavily-Restricted Category

LoDo, a fast-growing cannabis beverage brand selling THC spirits, shots, and coolers, is uniquely positioned in the crowded alcohol-alternative market with a "better taste, better buzz, half the price" promise. But operating in the THC space comes with a major catch: ad platforms like Meta enforce strict policies against the entire product category, making profitable customer acquisition extremely difficult. Jonas, Founder of LoDo, came to us after being burned by previous agencies that lacked proactiveness and failed to deliver — and needed a partner who could crack paid acquisition in an industry most marketers won't touch.

THe Challenge

 LoDo faced a set of challenges unique to their category:

0.77X

Low ROAS

Resulting in financial losses

$1.3k

Limited monthly ad spend

Hindering growth potential

Hindering growth potential

$1.3k

Limited monthly ad spend

Hindering growth potential

No consistent way of acquiring new customers
No ad spend in place and no proven paid acquisition channel
Monthly fluctuations in revenue with no reliable growth engine
A product category heavily restricted by ad platform policies
A history of being let down by agencies through poor performance and a lack of proactiveness

Prior to partnering with ORIRI Marketing:

Monthly revenue: $15K
Ad spend: $0
No repeatable, scalable customer acquisition system

THe Solution

We built their paid acquisition engine from the ground up, including:

Solidifying LoDo's key differentiated positioning to stand out in a competitive alcohol-alternative market
Setting up a funnel engineered to navigate Meta's strict policies against this product category
Testing multiple key customer personas and unique messaging angles to find what truly resonated
Launching a high volume of creatives to rapidly identify winners
Split-testing different bridge pages to maximize conversion and compliance

The Results

In just over 3 months, we transformed LoDo's business

Added $500K per month in revenue in just over 3 months (scaling from $15K to $500K/month)
Achieving a 5.43X ROAS on average at $80K per month in ad spend
Pinpointed exactly who LoDo's strongest customer group is, creating a foundation for continued scaling
As of writing, on track to generate $900K this month — the fourth full month of the partnership

“These guys are really good to work with. I've found them to be very responsive, right on top of things”
A couple months ago, I got one [email] that struck me as different, and it was from ORIRI Marketing and Paul. It was very personable, very genuine, and it was just different. It just struck me differently, and I said, 'You know what, I think I'm going to check these guys out.'

We set up a meeting, and it went really well. I felt very comfortable in proceeding with these guys, so we went ahead and entered into an agreement and got going. All I can say is it has proceeded extremely well. We've gotten results that are actually exceeding expectations, which is always a good thing.

These guys are really good to work with. I've found them to be very responsive, right on top of things. They communicate very well, and so far, we're very pleased. If you're looking for somebody out there that's going to help you with your marketing and you get something from ORIRI, give them a look. I think you won't be disappointed.

Conclusion

We added half a million dollars in monthly revenue for LoDo in just over three months — in a category most agencies avoid entirely. By solving the platform-compliance problem, nailing the positioning, and systematically testing personas, angles, and bridge pages, we built a repeatable acquisition engine that's still accelerating. With a clear picture of their strongest customer and momentum toward a $900K month, LoDo is positioned for continued aggressive growth.

Hear From our Partners

What stood out for me about them is first their relatability, them being down to earth. It was as if we were speaking with someone who's already been on the team, that's already understood the mission. They understood our mission, our values, and our intentions very quickly.

Chantel Robertson

CEO & Founder of Upful Blends

I'm really happy with ORIRI. I feel like the team has all been very communicative and on top of it. Whenever we have questions, they're answered right away. It's really easy to communicate, and the creatives are much better.

Mike Stansbury

They've helped me so much when it comes to guiding me and coaching me and how to set up campaigns. It's been a great experience. Paul, Jack and Kay are really easy to work with, great communication. I just love how they guide me through the process

Mayra

Founder Of Healthy Rican

Previously, all our previous marketing and ad campaigns have all converted on around about a 2.5 ROAS at best. And then along comes ORIRI, and our new marketing campaign and our new assets have gone live, and slowly but surely we are now converting at a 4.5 ROAS continuously as we start to scale.

Adam Rai

Owner & Director of GymPro Apparel

We can't recommend ORIRI enough, they're always super responsive the creatives are great. They're friendly and humane, we feel like we made friends. We're doing great business together and it's been very very soothing for us

Simon & Isabelle

Founders Of Boremore

We decided to make the investment in a very short amount of time, they basically put us in a very good position with social media ads. I was definitely, definitely worth the investment. I would recommend them to anyone who's serious about growing their business

Mohammed

Founder Of Duma Tiles

We've worked with many agencies over the past few months trying to find someone who could really understand our business, our objectives, and the customers we were looking for. The ORIRI guys are knocking it out of the park. We've got scale, and the customer acquisition costs are right where we need them to be.

Greg Banbury

President & CEO of For Wellness

The biggest thing for me is seeing the company grow… I can't think of enough words to say how much we love and appreciate the ORIRI team

Melissa

Founder of The Creator's Nature Blend

In January we basically tripled our orders — we grew by 430 new customers, which we've never done in our lives.

Founder, ORIRI Marketing

Chat With our Founder, Paul!

We’ll go back and forth, uncovering the specifics of your situation to identify the exact bottlenecks that are stopping you from scaling.
We’ll then share a high-level strategy of what has helped similar brands overcome these bottlenecks in the past and tailor this discussion around your business.
If we can help and are a good fit for one another, we’ll go through next steps and detail what it looks like to work with ORIRI.

Your questions, answered

What makes you different?

We’ve worked with agencies in the past for our own E-commerce brands prior to ORIRI. There are a lot of differences, we’re not just saying that. First of all, you will not get passed over to a junior account manager. Working with the ORIRI team means that you get to interact directly with the person managing your ads, the person responsible for driving your content strategy and engage directly with our Founder. We also don’t focus on reporting vanity metrics. Our goal is not to get the highest arbitrary number on a screen, we’re hired to tangibly grow brands and that’s what we do.

How much do your services cost?

All brands are different. We don’t have a blanket solution that we roll out to brands regardless of their needs and bottlenecks. Our first step is to understand what is stopping you from scaling. Specifically; understanding what is preventing you from acquiring new customers profitably enough for you to scale. Once we know that, we’ll be able to recommend a tailored solution based on what you need as opposed to ‘throwing the kitchen sink at you’. We’ll be able to go through the exact pricing and what is included in our recommended strategy in our Strategy Session / Discovery call.

How long does it take to get results?

All brands are different. Different audiences, product-market fit, previous data, pricing etc. What is a scaleable acquisition cost will depend on your gross margins. Some brands are in a position to scale from the jump, others require more testing to find further efficiencies before we add budget to our campaigns. Generally, we aim to have accounts in a position to scale within the first 8 weeks.

Who makes the content?

We handle content end-to-end. If you already have a content team, we’ll supply regular briefs and detail what we need to achieve scale. Otherwise, we’ll create the briefs, film with our own actors/creators, and edit into the optimal structure for acquiring new customers through paid advertising.

Who owns the content?

We make content with the sole purpose of acquiring new customers efficiently and scaling your brand. That said, brands often repurpose this content and post it on their website and social media. You own the rights to the content and it is yours to do as you please.

What services do you offer?

Check out our services page for a breakdown of the services that we offer. If you’re also in need of additional services that we do not offer, we likely have partnering agencies who can look after you.

Is the Strategy Session a sales call?

This is a non-obligatory call. A consultation call. We’ll go through your situation and see if we can help you with your existing bottleneck(s). If so, we can cover off next steps with you on the call - if not, we’ll at least try to point you in the right direction.
