02 · The situation

Standard tactics were off-limits

ClientAiconic Skincare, a skincare brand in India
My roleFounder, ABaCUS Imperials
Timeframe2024

The brand wanted a digital market-entry and lead-generation plan, but Indian rules on health and cosmetic claims restricted standard performance tactics. The client also had no execution team to hand it to.

03 · What I did

Audit first, then a phased plan

  • Readiness audit: messaging compliance, website gaps against the regulations, which channels were permitted, restricted or prohibited, and the competitive landscape.
  • Phased strategy: compliant channels and messaging first, an organic and content foundation before paid spend, and KPIs based on consultation bookings rather than traffic.
04 · What happened

A plan the client could run alone

  • A 90-day roadmap the client executed with its own team, without ongoing support.

A strategy has worked when the client can carry it out without you.
