CASE STUDY
Wildgrain delivers sourdough breads, artisan pastries, and fresh pastas across the United States, with a mission to keep the tradition of artisanal, nutritious food alive.

Paid amplification (paid social advertising, often run through Meta channels) acts as a significant boost for any campaign. AP has seen this method consistently outperform traditional branded ads, helping brands push past their scale ceilings while maintaining profitability.

HOW WE DID IT
Wildgrain and Acceleration Partners treated organic influencer marketing and paid social as an integrated system, continuously refining creative structure, messaging and editing while improving cost management. With this combination, the paid influencer team could better control its targeting and extend the campaign’s reach beyond a given influencer’s audience. Acceleration Partners’ Paid Amplification services included access to the agency’s creative department for editing services and creative analytics, which fed creative briefs and content learnings. Over time, the Paid Amplification team developed a clear picture of what worked, identifying which creators, content formats and messaging drove the strongest paid performance.
Influencer usage compensation was tied to performance, ensuring that Wildgrain invested heavily only in creators driving meaningful results. The Acceleration Partners influencer team had real-time access to insights from the paid campaigns, which guided creative briefs and production of future content. Meanwhile, the Acceleration Partners creative team optimized every asset for paid performance, producing multiple ad-friendly variations to test different hooks and formats. This increased creative output without requiring additional partners, enabling faster iteration and more scalable campaigns.
By combining creative intelligence, real-time collaboration, and paid social strategy, paid amplification became a predictable engine for Wildgrain’s subscription growth.
