Case Study · Hospitality · Performance Marketing

Performance campaigns built for measurable business outcomes.

An end-to-end performance marketing case study: taking a hospitality brand from negligible online presence to a Shopify-led digital sales channel and then scaling paid acquisition around measurable commercial outcomes.

Hospitality Brand: Shopify + Paid Media Growth

The brand had historically operated offline with negligible online presence. The engagement started from scratch: building the Shopify storefront, establishing the digital sales journey, setting up acquisition campaigns and then continuously optimising creative, audiences, budgets and conversion performance.

Approach

Built the Shopify website and online buying journey from scratch
Established paid acquisition across performance campaigns
Tested single-reel, influencer, catalogue and retargeting campaigns
Used campaign, sales and order data to continuously optimise spend and creative direction
Scaled the online channel from its initial baseline toward consistent monthly sales
