The +400% year: paid, search and email pulling one direction.
Esther & Co is a fast-moving Australian womenswear label that sells on a drop calendar. We ran paid social, paid search and email as one programme against that calendar.
Esther & Co: paid social, search and email timed to one drop calendar.
Paid social carried demand creation. Prospecting and retargeting at scale on Facebook, with creative refreshed to the drop cadence, and spend scaled while holding a 6:1 blended return. The account ran seven-figure Facebook months.
Search sat behind it, covering brand and category terms so the demand paid social created was captured when shoppers went looking for the label.
Email was rebuilt against the collection calendar. Lifecycle flows and campaign email were re-implemented so the list converted across the season rather than only at sale moments.
Across the programme, revenue grew 400% year on year, paid media held a 6:1 return at scale, and email revenue grew 3x.
