The Challenge
Crafting a Dynamic Paid Marketing Strategy
Our mission revolved around crafting an adaptable and scalable paid marketing strategy, capable of navigating a high-demand inventory with frequent sell-out pieces and collections. Embracing a multifaceted approach, we implemented impactful on-site merchandising and a paid media strategy tailored to diverse customer personas.
Handling an extensive ad portfolio, we managed over 500 ads on Meta, with additional ad campaigns across Snapchat, TikTok, Google, and Pinterest. Tailoring our efforts, we targeted 20 different territories on Google Ads and introduced an innovative TikTok strategy to support in the paid marketing goals for the brand.

The Solution
Empowering Ecommerce Performance Marketing
By embracing an eCommerce Performance marketing model, we break free from conventional constraints that often accompany partnerships with other agencies. Instead, we are driven by the shared objective of fostering a sustainable profit.
This newfound flexibility empowers us to broaden our horizons and delve into customer journeys that extend beyond the platforms themselves, such as the on-site experience.
We work closely with the brand team to understand stock distribution and forecasts to strategically merchandise their eCommerce website. Monitoring and managing the online storefront has helped valuably inform our ad strategy and optimise the customer experience, ensuring the right product is in the right place at the right time. This has led to extended ROAS improvements across P&Co performance channels.
With a journey spanning back to 2020, our involvement in performance marketing alongside P&Co has borne witness to consistent year-on-year progress. Our dynamic partnership continues to fuel growth, enabling us to expand our service offerings to cater to their evolving needs. Together, we are redefining the boundaries of what's achievable within the realm of performance marketing.
