Danilo Vicioso

Who I am

  • Former COO of Tabs, a top-10 most viral brand on the internet
  • Built its creator program to 100M monthly social impressions, and the paid ad engine alongside it
  • Founded Mainstreet, a consumer home-services platform: a team of 70, $25M raised (Greylock, Khosla, YC, Tim Ferriss), and it failed
  • Before that: Quintessential Ventures, an early seat at a high-growth startup, and entrepreneur-in-residence at Prehype
  • I’m looking to move into growth specifically. The creative and ToF is the work I want to be doing every day

Rather than send a résumé I did a weekend of the job.

What I built

What I’d do here

  • My KPI: build the paid engine from zero, then scale spend and hold target CAC. Everything else follows from that.
  • Week to week: launching a bunch of different experiments, first against each other and then against the best creator video, losers killed early.
  • Scope and brief the work for UGC creators (weeknight pasta, meal prep, Italian-American family cooks, dorm cooking), then keep the scripts moving every Monday.
  • One claims sheet first: 21g protein and 9g fiber per 3.5oz, two ingredients, made in Molise, and the lupini allergen note from your FAQ.
  • Store-door ads for every new retailer (Walmart, Kroger, Costco), made by creators near those stores.
  • Reporting so you never have to ask. Daily CAC. Weekly what we learned. Monthly cohort payback, plus store velocity in creator markets.
  • Event tracking I’d spec and work through with your team. That part isn’t me.

Growth plan · BRAMI · 28 Sept 2026

Start paid. Hold CAC. Feed the doors.

BRAMI runs zero Meta ads today. The plan: build the first paid engine from creator footage, protect one number while spend grows, and point every new ad at the stores that are opening.

0Meta ads running today
5 → 10creators (proposed)
5–8new ads a week by week 4 (proposed)
Day 30keep-or-stop call, on the numbers

Cover photos: BRAMI, enjoybrami.com. Every figure marked “proposed” is Danilo’s plan, not BRAMI data.

01 · The number

One number to protect. Seven ways it breaks. Three moves.

Two numbers, really: blended CAC on DTC, and sell-through per store as doors grow. Velocity is up 58% year over year; the job is keeping it there as Walmart and Kroger come on.

Sardinian Sea Salt
Sardinian Sea Salt
ProtectTarget CAC at your chosen daily spend, and velocity in new doors, set together in week one
Three moves1. A creator roster posting daily, so paid has footage to start from
2. The first Meta ads, built from creator breakouts, starting with store-door ads
3. Own “protein pasta that tastes like pasta” before Kaizen and Chef’s Kiss do
02 · Variety

Only variety absorbs variety.

BRAMI has no ads in the Ad Library, active or past. The protein-pasta feed belongs to others: creator meal-prep videos running 190–335 days, Kaizen’s label comparison and Chef’s Kiss’s lupin bundle at 84 days each. They show what lasts: a person, a pot, the macros on screen.

04 · The ceiling

The ceiling. Five lines, with the assumed ones labelled.

90-day CAC ceiling$18.96= 29.99 × 45% × 98% + 0.5 × 25.49 × 45%

Break-even CAC on the first order alone is about $13.23; with a subscription reorder, about $18.96. Most BRAMI volume is retail, so a DTC ceiling undercounts what an ad is worth in store.

Prices: enjoybrami.com, 28 Sept 2026. Margin, refund and repeat are assumptions, not BRAMI data.

05 · Test ramp

The test ramp. The blanks are yours to fill on day one.

58$4005Set with you, day one
68$4005Set with you, day one

Weeks 1–3 have no control to beat, so ads compete with each other; from week 4 the best one becomes the control. Total test budget over six weeks: $12,600 (proposed).

06 · Volume

Whatever your CAC is, creative volume is what moves it.

At a fixed hit rate, more concepts tested means more winners, and more winners means more spend held at the same CAC. The hit rate is an assumption until real results replace it.

BRAMI Fusilli box

$15,00015% · creator partnership ads
$10,00010% · store-door and retail-locator ads

Proposed split. More goes to testing than usual because there’s no history yet.

08 · Channels

What has to be true before a channel opens.

ChannelOpen when (proposed)Why wait
MetaDay 1The only place we can test creative fast
TikTok Spark AdsA creator post beats 3× its account’s median viewsBoost what already works organically
Retail media (Walmart Connect, Instacart)Walmart and Kroger doors are livePoint proven creative at the shelf
AmazonMeta CAC holds 30 daysBuy on Amazon is already a site CTA
YouTubeA one-minute recipe format wins on MetaLong format needs a proven script

Not checked: BRAMI spend on TikTok, Google or retail media today (gaps.md).

09 · Payback

Payback is the real constraint, not CAC.

A $29.99 first order is 8 boxes, so the reorder comes slower than with a snack. And much of what an ad sells happens at Target or Costco, where you can’t see it. Measure on 90-day DTC cohorts and on store velocity in creator markets, not on first-order ROAS.

Five creators. Seven videos a week each. One new script every Monday.

08 · The hard part

The part that makes this hard, handled first

Two things creators improvise on: comparisons (“70% more protein than regular pasta” has no stated basis on the site) and allergens (lupini is an EU-labelled allergen and can cross-react with peanut or soy). No lawsuit or regulator action against BRAMI was found.

RiskHow it’s handled

Upside only where it earns it

$100bonus on an organic video over 100K views (proposed)
$250when her video becomes a winning ad (proposed)
Cappedinside the monthly creator cap (proposed)

No bonus on a video that breached the claims sheet.

13 · Payback

Will it pay back?

The test is simple. By day 30, either organic cost per 1,000 views is $5 or better, or a creator ad reaches target CAC at equal spend. If neither happens, the program stops.

$5,500month-one cost (proposed cap)
~150videos in month one
1.1Mviews needed for $5 per 1,000
~7,300median views per video that implies

1.1M = $5,500 ÷ $5 × 1,000. 7,300 ≈ 1.1M ÷ 150. A target, not a forecast.
