Case · TRIVE · Our Own Brand

From 0 to millions in ARR in the first year.

In short: TRIVE is our own consumer brand: a 52-in-1 dietary supplement sold on a subscription basis. We’ve built it from the ground up using the exact same methods we use for our clients. Because it’s our own, we can share the numbers completely transparently.

TRIVE is our testing lab. Everything we recommend to our customers, we’ve first tested ourselves—at our own expense.

The partners behind TRIVE

The Starting Point

A new brand. No customers, no data.

TRIVE started from scratch: a new product in a highly competitive category with no customers, no data, and no market knowledge. We wanted to prove that a subscription-based brand can scale profitably from day one.

Objectives

  • 01Building a Profitable Subscription Business from the Ground Up
  • 02Reaching the million mark in recurring revenue
  • 03Making TRIVE the market leader in Europe

The Strategy

Seven building blocks of growth.

We built TRIVE using The Growbix Formula, just as we do for our clients: first insights, then a plan, and finally execution.

01

Product and positioning.

A 52-in-1 product with a compelling value proposition that makes it easy to explain why TRIVE is different.

02

Online store built for subscriptions.

A Shopify online store set up with a subscription model from the start, so that every new customer generates recurring revenue.

03

Paid social.

Meta ads featuring UGC, video, and A/B testing of hooks and USPs. We know exactly how much a new subscriber should cost, and we only scale what’s profitable.

04

Google Ads.

Search and Shopping reach both those who are already looking for dietary supplements and those whose curiosity has been piqued by paid social media.

05

Conversion Optimization.

The product page and checkout process are continuously tested to encourage more customers to choose a subscription over a one-time purchase.

06

Retention.

Klaviyo's flows welcome new subscribers, keep them engaged, and win back those who are considering unsubscribing.

07

Management for Profit.

We manage TRIVE based on contribution margin, CAC, and LTV in Reaktion, just as we do for our clients.

That's why it worked.

The next step is to expand into more markets and make TRIVE the market leader in Europe.

  • Subscriptions starting on day one generated predictable, recurring revenue
  • We focused on CAC and LTV, not just ROAS
  • Retention was given the same priority as acquiring new customers
  • All channels worked together as part of a single full-funnel strategy
  • We tested everything with our own money before recommending it to others

What kinds of companies do you work with?

We work with established e-commerce and consumer brands—typically in the fashion, lifestyle, home, beauty, and health sectors—that generate at least 300,000 DKK in monthly revenue (excluding VAT) and are poised for profitable growth, both domestically and internationally.

What happens during a growth analysis?

One of our partners will review your numbers before the meeting. During the meeting, you’ll receive a concrete assessment of your biggest bottleneck to growth and a recommended action plan. There’s no obligation, and you’ll gain valuable insights regardless of whether we end up working together.

Why choose Growbix over other agencies?

We come from the brand side ourselves and still run our own consumer brand, TRIVE, so we understand the entire business—not just marketing. Our team is led by senior professionals, and we bring together advertising, Klaviyo, Shopify, CRO, and business consulting under one partner. We focus on contribution margin and profitable growth, but we also know what it takes to build a brand. And we’re selective about our clients. That’s why many of our partnerships last 3–6 years.

How much does a partnership cost?

The price depends on your goals, the scope, complexity, and budget of your project, as well as the services and number of markets covered by the partnership. After the growth analysis, you’ll receive a specific quote before you commit to anything.

Is there a commitment?

As a general rule, we have a 1-month rolling commitment. For certain partnerships, there may be a 3-month rolling commitment, but this is always agreed upon in advance.

Do you help companies enter new markets?

Yes. We have active clients in 30 markets and assist with everything from market analysis and localization to marketing in each country.

How do you measure your results?

We focus on contribution margin, MER , and brand awareness, supplemented by CAC, LTV, conversion rate, and AOV. All figures are consolidated into a single dashboard so you see the same data we do.

What platforms do you work with?

We work across the entire funnel: paid social on Meta, TikTok, YouTube, Pinterest, and Snapchat; paid search and Shopping on Google; email and newsletters in Klaviyo; and online stores on Shopify. The channels we use depend on your brand, your customers, and your markets.
