How Jennifer Anniston’s LolaVie brand grew sales 40% with CTV ads

For its first CTV campaign, Jennifer Aniston’s DTC haircare brand LolaVie had a few non-negotiables. The campaign had to be simple. It had to demonstrate measurable impact. And it had to be full-funnel.

LolaVie used Roku Ads Manager to test and optimize creatives — reaching millions of potential customers at all stages of their purchase journeys. Roku Ads Manager helped the brand convey LolaVie’s playful voice while helping drive omnichannel sales across both ecommerce and retail touchpoints.

The campaign included an Action Ad overlay that let viewers shop directly from their TVs by clicking OK on their Roku remote. This guided them to the website to buy LolaVie products.

Stored Data Becomes Future Breach Material

If you keep customer records, logs, or employee data indefinitely, you increase your exposure window. What isn’t deleted today may be leaked tomorrow.

Regulations Demand Minimization

Frameworks like GDPR and other global standards require collecting and storing only what is necessary. Excess retention isn’t just risky — it’s non-compliant.

Backups Multiply Your Data Footprint

Even if you delete files from production, they often persist in backups for years. Without lifecycle policies, “deleted” doesn’t mean gone.

Old Systems Hide Forgotten Archives

Legacy servers, decommissioned databases, and forgotten NAS devices often contain sensitive data. These are prime targets for attackers scanning internal networks.

Access to Historical Data Is Rarely Reviewed

Who can access archived HR files or old financial records? Over time, permissions drift — and historical data becomes low-visibility, high-impact risk.

Build a Data Lifecycle Strategy

Define what to collect, how long to keep it, and when to purge it. Automate deletion where possible. The safest data is the data you don’t store.
