Ads That Convert. Brands That Scale.
From first click to repeat purchase, we run the full-funnel system that grows D2C revenue profitably: creative, media buying, and retention under one roof.
In short
Balistro scales D2C and e-commerce brands profitably by running creative, paid media and retention as one system. We've managed $4M+/mo in ad spend across 100+ brands.
Most D2C brands don't have an ads problem, they have a system problem. Creatives, copies, competitor research, audits and comms all live in different places with nothing tying them together, and that's where money leaks. We replace the chaos with one proven flow that takes you from product mapping to profitable, repeatable scale. We've managed over $4M in monthly ad spend across 100+ brands and scaled D2C accounts from a few thousand rupees a day to record months, in India and across 20+ countries.
We get your world.
The problems we hear every week, and exist to kill.
The full system, under one roof.
Creative that converts
Statics, video and UGC built around core benefits, us-vs-them, before/after, problem-solution and testimonials, produced at the volume the 2026 algorithm rewards.
Meta & Google scaling
Creative-first Meta delivery plus high-intent Google Search, Shopping and PMax, structured to scale spend without losing efficiency.
Marketplaces
Amazon, Flipkart, Myntra and Nykaa ads to capture high-intent buyers who are already on the platform with their wallet out.
TikTok & emerging
Short-form, UGC-led campaigns to reach new audiences and ride trends, balanced against your core performance channels.
Retention & LTV
Email, WhatsApp and SMS flows in Klaviyo, welcome, abandoned-cart, win-back and post-purchase, so first orders turn into repeat revenue.
Offers & CRO
Tested offer types (discounts, free shipping, gift-with-purchase, bundles) and landing-page optimisation so more clicks become orders.
Recommended channels
A funnel, not just a feed of ads.
We guide every buyer through three stages, each with its own objective and channels, so spend compounds instead of leaking.
Awareness
Introduce your brand to people who've never heard of you and drive qualified traffic.
Conversion
Turn that attention into first purchases with creative-led, high-intent campaigns.
Retention
Lift lifetime value and repeat-purchase rate, where the real profit lives.
We sell to a person, not a demographic
Since creative now drives delivery, we don't guess what your customers want, we extract it. Before building a single ad we study competitor and marketplace reviews, comment sections and FAQs to map exactly how your buyers think and talk.
Wants & hopes
What your customer actually dreams about achieving with the product.
Pain points
The frustration or fear that's stopping them today.
Barriers & uncertainties
What makes them hesitate right before they buy.
Audience language
The exact words and phrases they repeat, used verbatim in our hooks.
Stop leaving money on the table
Acquiring a new customer costs roughly 5× more than keeping one, yet most brands spend 90% of their budget on acquisition. We build the retention engine that captures the revenue you're already leaving behind.
More expensive to acquire than retain a customer
Of most brands' spend goes to acquisition alone
Retention channels we run: Email, WhatsApp, SMS
The profit is in the repeat order.
Acquiring a customer costs 5x more than keeping one. We build the email, WhatsApp and SMS flows that turn first orders into loyal, high-LTV customers.

Yes, but we're honest about it. If the offer and margins work, we scale fast. If they don't yet, we'll tell you what to fix first rather than burn spend on ads that can't win.
Most D2C accounts see meaningful movement within the first 30 to 60 days as we rebuild tracking, launch a creative-volume program and let the algorithm learn. Compounding gains follow as winners scale and retention kicks in.
Both. In the 2026 algorithm, creative is the single biggest lever. We research buyer language, then produce statics, video and UGC across multiple angles at the volume performance demands, and test relentlessly.
Usually both. Your own store protects margin and owns the customer relationship; marketplaces like Amazon and Flipkart put you in front of buyers with high purchase intent. We'll map the right split for your category and run both.
We build lifecycle flows in Klaviyo across Email, WhatsApp and SMS, welcome, abandoned cart, win-back, post-purchase and replenishment, plus broadcast campaigns around launches and offers, so repeat revenue compounds on top of acquisition.
Yes. We run campaigns in 20+ countries and 8+ languages with localised creative, not one ad blasted everywhere. We've launched D2C brands into the US, UK, Australia and the Gulf.
