The opportunity

Turn channel activity into one connected growth system

Poppi transitioned from viral-driven spikes to a predictable, compounding growth system

Poppi is a fast-growing functional beverage brand known for its prebiotic soda, combining gut health benefits with strong lifestyle branding. The brand achieved rapid growth through TikTok-native content and creator amplification, generating significant consumer demand. Eva partnered with Poppi to transform this demand into a structured, repeatable commerce system, connecting TikTok Shop and Shopify into one unified growth engine.

The situation

The operating challenge behind the growth opportunity

  • Core issue: Demand existed, but it did not compound into predictable growth

Poppi had strong momentum:

  • High-performing TikTok content and creator ecosystem
  • Rapid growth in awareness and demand
  • Strong product-market fit with repeat purchase behavior

However, key limitations emerged:

  • Viral spikes without predictable revenue
  • TikTok demand not fully captured into owned channels
  • Shopify underutilized for retention and subscription
  • Limited connection between content performance and conversion

Eva implemented a TikTok → Shopify Commerce Intelligence System, aligning discovery, conversion, and retention into one continuous loop.

The outcome

What the connected system changed

Poppi transitioned from viral-driven spikes to a predictable, compounding growth system

Before and after

Before Eva

  • TikTok created awareness without structured monetization
  • Growth depended on viral cycles
  • Shopify was not fully leveraged for retention
  • Limited visibility into performance drivers

After Eva

  • TikTok became a direct revenue channel
  • Shopify captured and expanded demand
  • Lifecycle systems increased LTV
  • Growth became structured, scalable, and predictable

“Eva helped us turn TikTok from an awareness channel into a structured revenue engine. By connecting TikTok Shop with our Shopify experience, we now capture demand more efficiently and convert it into repeatable growth. The visibility across content, conversion, and retention has fundamentally changed how we scale the business.”

C. Barry

Manager of eCommerce, Poppi

Shopify growth is not traffic acquisition

It is a system where conversion, demand, and retention work together to scale profitably

Strategic insight

Growth compounds when every channel has a clear job

Functional CPG brands benefit from:

  • High repeat purchase frequency
  • Strong lifestyle integration
  • Content-driven discovery

But without a system:

  • Demand is fragmented
  • Retention is lost
  • Profitability declines

When TikTok (discovery), Shopify (conversion), and lifecycle (retention) operate as one system:

  • Revenue stabilizes
  • LTV increases
  • Growth compounds
