Case Study

Heights × Table Eight: video content and Meta ads

How a fast-growing DTC supplement brand scaled its creative output and freed its team, without adding to its internal headcount.

The situation

Winning on creative, but stretched thin.

Heights already had a strong team, led by co-founder Dan Murray-Serter. The brand was already winning with ad creative. The problem wasn't ideas. It was capacity. With a small, fast-moving team and multiple agencies on the books, in-house production kept slipping to the back of the queue.

A single in-house hire couldn't match the volume, range, or speed the account demanded. Something had to give.

The real cost of standing still

The algorithm is hungry. Standing still costs you.

Meta rewards genuinely different ads, not small tweaks of the same one. Run too few for too long and the maths turns against you: frequency climbs, CPM rises, CPA creeps up.

It's a slow bleed by quarter end. Plenty of ideas in the room, but no production capacity to bring them to life.

The shift

Not another agency. Production capacity.

They didn't need a new strategy or another vendor in the stack. They needed production capacity at a price that made sense, with daily access and flexibility. Table Eight came in as an extension of the internal team.

Without

  • Another agency to manage
  • Overloaded in-house editors
  • Production stuck in the queue
  • Volume, range and speed all capped

With Table Eight

  • A production partner, plugged in
  • Daily access and flexibility
  • An extension of the team, not a vendor
  • Output that keeps pace with the account

A true creative partner

Not only were we there to help with fulfilment, but we were more than happy to jump in creative meetings and help with the ideation.

Systems and process

Briefing, feedback and delivery wrapped in a process the team could actually rely on, so creative shipped on a predictable cadence.

We supported the team already there, caught what they missed, and filled the skills they lacked.

The difference

A wall of creative, instead of a trickle.

The multiplier effect

The biggest impact wasn't the content. It was what the content unlocked.

  • Stopped firefighting

    With a reliable production line in place, the team stopped scrambling for the next asset and started working ahead of the account.

  • Experiment without risk

    Cheap to test, easy to iterate. New angles got a fair shot.

  • Saw inside the engine

    Clearer visibility into what was working and why.

  • Built confidence to scale

    Proof that output could grow without breaking the team.

  • A bridge, not a crutch

    Capacity that strengthened the team and never replaced it.

The takeaway · The proof point

We made content easy for Heights.

Table Eight are a fantastic team to work with. They joined us for several months on an ad hoc basis, helping us keep up with large content sprints. Initially supporting our editing team and helping on ambassador shoots, they quickly proved themselves invaluable. We later brought them onto a retainer, and they have since become an extension of the Heights creative team.
