What the client needed to solve
The brand had been running Meta campaigns in-house for 14 months with a $22,000/month ad budget but was averaging a 1.4x ROAS — far below the 3x threshold needed to scale profitably. Customer acquisition cost had crept up to $74 per new buyer, and a poorly structured retargeting stack meant 63% of spend was going to audiences that had already purchased within 30 days.
How EverestX solved it
EverestX matched the brand with a Meta Ads Specialist with 6 years of DTC fashion experience within 48 hours. The specialist rebuilt the campaign architecture from scratch — separating prospecting and retargeting into distinct budget pools, introducing a 3-tier creative testing framework, and implementing value-based lookalike audiences seeded from the top 15% of LTV customers.
Measurable outcomes in 90 days
Every number below is from the actual engagement. EverestX is a managed-talent platform — not a marketplace, not an agency — with pricing starting at $10–$12/hr full-time (~$1,700–$2,100/month) and $14–$16/hr part-time (~$1,200–$1,400/month).

$1,700/month
Monthly Cost (EverestX)
Full-time specialist at $10/hr — versus $8,000–$12,000/month quoted by two US agencies for the same scope.
“We had burned through two freelancers and were about to hand this off to an agency at 12% of spend — which would have cost us $2,640 a month just in fees. EverestX matched us in two days, and within six weeks our ROAS had doubled. The specialist didn't just run ads; she rebuilt the entire funnel logic. The ROI on $1,700/month is hard to argue with.”— Head of Growth, Women's Fashion Ecommerce Brand

Questions about this case study
How did a shopify-based women's fashion brand achieve 1.4x → 3.8x in ROAS?
Achieved within 11 weeks; sustained at 3.6x through month 4. EverestX matched the client with a vetted Meta Ads Specialist within 48 hours — zero recruitment fees, zero upfront cost. The specialist went live immediately with no job-posting, interviewing, or onboarding overhead.
How does EverestX compare to hiring a freelancer or agency for this type of work?
EverestX is a managed-talent platform — not a marketplace and not an agency. Freelance platforms like Upwork charge $35–$95/hr with no vetting and no management layer. Traditional agencies charge $3,000–$8,000/month in retainer fees before a specialist touches your account. EverestX delivers a pre-vetted specialist at $74 → $43.60 with a dedicated Talent Success Manager coordinating the engagement.
What happens if the specialist is not the right fit?
EverestX includes a free, unlimited, no-questions-asked replacement guarantee on every engagement. If the specialist isn't performing to expectation, the Talent Success Manager replaces them at no additional cost — no new recruitment fees, no downtime waiting on a new hire cycle.
How long does it take to get a specialist matched and producing work?
EverestX's standard match time is 48 hours from intake to specialist introduction. In this case study, the client was matched within that window and producing client-facing work within the first week. Compare that to the typical 8–12-week cycle for a full-time marketing hire.
Is EverestX available for ecommerce businesses outside the US?
Yes. EverestX serves clients across the US, UK, Canada, and Australia. Specialists are sourced globally but operate in US, UK, Australian, and Canadian timezone windows. This case study is from a United States-based client in the Ecommerce — Fashion & Apparel vertical.
