End-to-End Social Commerce Execution at Scale

1. Executive Summary

A globally recognized growth agency engaged Zorilla to scale TikTok Shop performance for 24 of their DTC brand partners. These brands spanned categories including supplements, shapewear, eco-cleaning, wellness, and lifestyle.

The challenge? Despite having strong product-market fit and established DTC/Amazon presence, these brands lacked the operational depth and creative muscle to truly scale TikTok Shop.

Zorilla deployed an end-to-end social commerce system: from creator recruitment to PDP optimization, from violation recovery to campaign rollout — driving scalable and compliant growth across the board.

📈 The Result:

• 📦 $10.2M+ in TikTok Shop GMV

• 🎥 140,000+ UGC videos published

• 🚚 300,000+ orders fulfilled

• 💬 12 shop score recoveries
