Goal

Grow Rough Trade’s iconic brand and ecommerce revenue

How We Did It.

  • Full stack of dynamic ecommerce ad delivery across Meta and Google platforms, including Google Shopping, Performance Max, dynamic retargeting and all associated product feed optimisation and management
  • Always-on promotion for brick and mortar stores with visitor tracking
  • Migration from Active Campaign to Klaviyo email platform, providing email training and technical support, and running generating leads through paid social marketing
  • Technical SEO and content audits comparing current performance against potential opportunities, and collaborating with web agency to implement SEO best-practice on new website built on experimental “headless” single-page application framework
  • Advanced and compliant implementation of Google Tag Manager for ad tracking, analytics, affiliate codes, enhanced ecommerce and upgrading to GA4
  • Extensive ad hoc technical and strategic marketing support

Results.

  • 7-figure revenues from at over 15x return on paid social and PPC spend sustained over three years
  • Sustained 83% lift in organic SEO revenue from month 1 of our technical SEO audit
  • 35% of email revenue now generated by automated Klaviyo flows, and tens of thousands of new email leads cost-effectively through paid social and site popups
  • Stable organic traffic through website migration, protecting brand from costly drop in SEO traffic that would happen without our recommendations
  • All marketing shifted to digital during COVID during which time we carefully balanced and sustained sales during a transition to a new fulfilment warehouse
  • Reporting is extensive, accurate, compliant and with high opt-in rates, helping the internal Rough Trade team make independent decisions about how to grow
