About Ben Petraglia

Most D2C brands don’t hit a growth ceiling because of traffic.They hit it because CAC creeps up, creative stops performing, and paid media becomes unpredictable.I’ve been on both sides of that problem - first as a D2C operator scaling a consumer brand, and later leading growth strategy for high-spend ecommerce accounts. What I saw repeatedly was this:Most brands don’t have a traffic problem.They have a **systems problem.**Accelerated Growth Studio was built to fix that.We help D2C brands ($2M–$50M+) turn paid acquisition into a predictable, profitable growth engine through:• disciplined creative testing• full-funnel optimization• data-driven media buying• relentless focus on contribution margin — not just ROASWe’re not here to “manage ads.”We’re here to help founders scale without losing efficiency or control.If your paid growth feels capped, volatile, or harder to scale than it should be, I’m always happy to compare notes.
