Case study

Sleepiva

Sleepiva is a Danish direct-to-consumer sleep brand built around a hero product: the Airbutterfly pillow, an ergonomic pillow designed to solve neck pain and improve sleep quality, sold alongside matching pillowcases and an All Season Pillow. Founded by Anes Sadic, the brand competes in the crowded sleep-and-wellness category, where the challenge isn't just getting attention — it's converting a skeptical buyer on a product they have to take on trust. Advera has partnered with Sleepiva since the brand's early days in April 2025, supporting it from the ground up — through company and payment setup, then scaling paid acquisition, creative, and retention as the brand grew into one of Advera's highest-volume accounts.

Core challenge

Selling a single hero product at scale is one of the hardest things to do in e-commerce. There's no broad catalog to fall back on, no category browsing to drive incremental orders — every krone of growth has to come from convincing one more person that this pillow is worth buying.

For Sleepiva, that meant three connected problems. First, creative fatigue: when you're spending heavily behind one product, ad creative burns out fast, and performance lives or dies on a constant pipeline of fresh angles. Second, proving the claim: a pillow that promises to fix neck pain and transform sleep has to overcome real buyer skepticism before the click ever happens. And third, scaling without breaking the economics — pushing six-figure monthly ad spend while keeping ROAS and margin healthy enough that growth actually translated into profit.

The brand needed a repeatable system for finding winning angles, scaling them hard, and replacing them before they faded.

Strategy

Built a structured test-and-scale system. Advera ran a continuous two-track setup — a testing campaign constantly trialing new creative angles, feeding winners into a dedicated scaling campaign. This let the brand spend aggressively where it counted while always developing the next winner in parallel.

Found the angles that actually convert. Rather than guessing, Advera tested specific problem-led angles against each other and let the data decide. The "Neckpain" angle emerged as a standout winner — one variant delivering a 4.37 ROAS — and was given more budget, while underperforming variants were cut quickly to keep spend efficient.

Leaned into advertorial-static creative. Among formats tested, a static advertorial style consistently delivered the strongest results, giving Sleepiva a reliable, scalable creative backbone — with the best testing batch driving the bulk of purchases in its strongest weeks.

Scaled spend without losing the economics. As the account grew into six-figure monthly ad spend, Advera managed it through tight weekly performance reviews — watching CPA, ROAS, and margin closely and reallocating budget toward the scaling campaign's best performers (one week delivering 263 sales at a CPA of 300).

Added email and CRO to the mix. Beyond paid social, Advera supported email marketing through Klaviyo to drive repeat value, and worked on the website and conversion experience to convert more of the incoming traffic — including a full site rebuild to modernize the storefront.

Results

The system did what it was built to do: turn a single pillow into a seven-figure monthly business.

In a recent month, Sleepiva generated 1.2 million DKK in sales at a 14% profit margin — the kind of volume that only works when creative, spend, and economics are all pulling in the same direction. The numbers held up week to week: one strong week posted roughly 500,000 DKK in sales and 136,000 DKK in net profit, while the scaling engine consistently delivered hundreds of orders at a controlled cost per acquisition.

Underpinning the scale was the creative discipline. The winning "Neckpain" angle hit a 4.37 ROAS in testing, the advertorial-static format proved reliably scalable, and the constant test-and-replace cadence kept the account from stalling out on fatigued creative — the single biggest risk for a one-product brand spending at this level.

What makes Sleepiva stand out in Advera's portfolio is simply the scale: this is what a disciplined creative-and-scaling system looks like when it's applied to a strong product with real demand behind it.

With a proven creative engine and six-figure monthly revenue established, the focus moving forward is on sustaining creative freshness, deepening email and retention, and continuing to refine the on-site experience through the new website — while scaling operations and fulfillment in step with demand, so the brand's growth stays matched by its ability to deliver.
