CPG Advertising Agency for Brands Selling Direct to Consumer

CPG advertising agency WKND helps consumer packaged goods brands sell direct to consumer with paid media, performance creative and subscription offers, with every dollar tracked to revenue. Soupply, a packaged soup and noodle brand, grew from approximately $50K to $300K in monthly revenue in six months with WKND.

Why CPG brands add a direct-to-consumer channel

Selling direct gives a CPG brand its own customer data, its own margins and its own repeat buyers. It also means the brand has to win the customer itself: the ad, the offer, the site and the first order all have to work.

  • Paid media: Google Ads, Microsoft Ads, and Meta campaign management, with TikTok and YouTube when they fit.
  • Offer and subscription design: price anchoring that steers buyers toward subscriptions.
  • Customer economics: CAC measures the cost to acquire a new customer. Customer value measures what that relationship produces over a defined period. We read both before scaling.
  • Growth Atlas AI: DTC growth forecasting and a daily P&L in every plan.

Retail vs direct: what changes for a CPG brand

In retail, the store owns the customer relationship. In a direct channel, the brand does. That shifts the work from shelf placement to paid media, offers and retention.

Subscription and retention, not just first orders

CPG products are bought again and again, so the first order is only the start. WKND connects acquisition to what happens next:

  • Email + SMS automations and campaigns after the first order.
  • Groomie (subscription): $0 to $2,600,000 in 365 days; 30+ offer variations.
  • Alala: +503% email revenue alongside +320% revenue in 60 days.
