DTC Sleep Brand
How a lifestyle brand scaled 5x — while staying fully compliant
The Brand
A DTC brand selling an innovative sleep product (think: posture-correcting pillow or wearable relaxation device). Their ad creatives focused on solving sleep issues and improving rest — great for conversions, but risky on platforms like Meta and TikTok.
The Challenge
Ads were getting rejected for:
Claims like “better sleep in 7 nights”
Implying medical or health improvements
“Before & after” illustrations showing posture or sleep improvement
After two account warnings and a flagged ad, they needed to clean up fast — without losing their momentum.
The Solution
They partnered with Protectloop to secure every campaign launch:
We reviewed all new ad creatives — text, images, and videos — against Meta & TikTok’s most recent policy updates
Flagged misleading phrases and replaced them with safe but persuasive alternatives
Created internal compliance SOPs for their team
Helped prep compliant variations so they could A/B test with confidence
The Result
✔️ All campaigns approved on first submission
✔️ Account quality score recovered over time
✔️ No bans or shadow penalties during scaling
✔️ Team could focus on growth — not fear
“Protectloop helped us scale without walking on eggshells. We didn’t lose our edge — we just stopped triggering the algorithm.”
