The Kickoff
Before working with Pilothouse, Four Sigmatic's PPC budget had plateaued, and the company has been having trouble meeting their ambitious growth goals consistently. Our team took a multipronged approach to their account which led to massive growth and record-breaking results. We often see brands not fully utilizing Amazon PPC's tools, despite Amazon expanding its top-of-funnel advertising options. Amazon's mid-to-bottom funnel advertising through on-site PPC is highly effective, but it requires a thorough approach.

This involves extensive keyword and competitor research to inform campaign strategy, bid adjustments, and maintaining campaigns to ensure they aren't budget-capped, which is exactly what we did for Four Sigmatic. For businesses with extensive catalogs like Four Sigmatic, managing numerous campaigns for various products is a challenge. We worked with them to tailor their approach, using creative Sponsored Brand and Sponsored Brand Video campaigns for products with broader market appeal, and maximizing impressions 
for niche-specific products. This variable strategy balanced growth and efficiency.

The Strategy

Focusing on the middle and bottom of their funnel. We extensively utilized sponsored product ads to reach customers, and segmented their product line to target different groups of new and returning customers. Our team meticulously optimized bids daily to capitalize on high-performing segments, managing over 870 unique campaigns targeting different keywords.


We executed our CRO and SEO strategy to revamp product photos, descriptions, and A+ content, working with our in-house creative team to develop high-performing, visually appealing assets. Our creative and media teams shared insights to develop a successful, data-backed creative strategy that worked in tandem with our media efforts.

The Outcome

Our partnership with Four Sigmatic aimed for one goal: Growth – and the results speak for themselves. By taking a comprehensive approach to Amazon PPC, optimizing campaigns, and tailoring strategies for a diverse product catalog, we achieved outstanding outcomes.

Notably, we delivered a remarkable 115% increase in monthly gross profit, an impressive 83% boost in monthly shipped revenue at seven-figure levels, and a substantial 99% year-over-year increase in active subscribers.

With our strategy in place, we were able to exceed the client's ROI goal by 25% by creating over 870 individual campaigns. Our strategy not only exceeded the client's expectations but also showcased the power of leveraging Amazon's mid-to-bottom funnel advertising tools when executed with precision and creativity.

I usually like to rebalance agency relationships every 12–18 months. There's none of that. Two years in, and we're not looking at that at all. We definitely hired the right people.
