Performance Spotlight: How Dribbleup Turned Their All-In Bet on Meta Into a Growth Engine

May 6, 2026·2 min read

Dribbleup, a smart sports equipment company with a subscription coaching app, has grown profitably by concentrating nearly all ad spend on Meta.
CMO Ben Paster explains that diversifying too early is risky; the true advantage lies in deep platform knowledge and massive creative output to combat rising frequency and fatigue.
AI is pivotal: it helps break creative groupthink by connecting data insights to outcomes, and empowers team members to perform data science-level analysis.
Paster emphasizes that modern marketing success hinges on creative strategy and business acumen, not just bid optimization.
The company plans to expand beyond holiday playbooks, using predictive LTV and direct-to-consumer approaches to sustain growth.
