    Performance on a Budget

    Client: CDC Offices

    Vertical – Secondhand Reseller

    Challenge: CDC Offices are a two-brand business including Clear Workspace and Zero Office Furniture. The brands were built to operate as a circular model, Clear Workspace collecting used furniture as an office clearance company, whilst Zero Office Furniture resold the furniture through an ecommerce platform. They needed a partner that could deliver performance on a small budget for both brands with a complimentary approach.

    Approach: For Clear Workspace our approach was to create a highly localized campaign that focused on driving sales volume within a suitable radius of the workforce, saving on the overheads of long-distance travel to jobs. For Zero Furniture, we built a set of campaigns focused on prioritizing the best product inventory available to the business, prioritizing coverage of best sellers and high stock items.

    Results: By focusing on prioritization of quality search volume, we managed to facilitate a growth in conversions by 125% alongside a 25% cost reduction year on year at a group level, whilst never exceeding a budget of £10k monthly.

    Quote: “Propel Digital have consistently shown the ability to drive fantastic results on a small scale budget and are constantly looking to find new ways to drive efficient performance.”

    Scaling Paid Media Investment

    Client: Heygo

    Vertical – Content Streaming

    Challenge: Heygo are an innovative start up offering remote, live streamed tours from exotic locations across the world. They needed a partner who could overcome the challenge of launching a product into the market that had never been seen before, help them to rapidly prove the value of the paid social channels and then build a viable business case to scale investment and drive continued growth.

    Approach: Working with a service that was unknown to the market, it was imperative that we set up a high-speed testing program that would allow us to challenge hypotheses early and often. We developed a testing framework that worked in two-week sprints, providing the agility to pivot both tactically and strategically based on our learnings. To facilitate this, we needed to stand up a technical solution that would allow us to test the 1300+ tours that are offered across the site at scale. To enable this, we developed a bespoke feed solution that allowed us to utilize dynamic prospecting and remarketing in the channel in and prioritize time sensitive tours that were due to start soon.  We also recognize a friction point in the user journey and worked with Heygo to implement archived tour samples in landing pages. This gave potential users a flavor of the content they would experience and entice them to sign up to a live tour.

    Results: Our agile testing approach and technical solutions enabled us to effectively scale Heygo’s Paid Social investment year in year. Spend was scaled by over 200% year on year, whilst sign ups for the platform increased by 320%.

    Quote: “Propel have consistently delivered effective solutions and have adopted the ambitions of Heygo as their own. They are now a natural extension to our team.”

    Long Term Partnership Effectiveness

    Client: 77 Diamonds

    Vertical – Luxury Retail

    Challenge: Operating in the engagement ring market comes with the challenges of trying to sell a high-cost product with a lengthy purchase cycle and with most sales happening offline. 77 Diamonds needed to find a long-term partner who could exhibit a deep understanding of the challenges of the business and drive them into a leading position within the market.

    Approach: By working with 77 Diamond’s internal analysts to understand the decision-making process behind a purchase, we developed an innovative measurement solution that enabled us to optimize existing budgets and unlock new investment opportunities. We did this by building a proxy for a completed sale by weighting various micro conversions throughout the users purchase journey, based on their contribution to closing the final sale. This helped us to overcome a data scarcity challenge and unlock automated bidding channels across the digital platforms, which had previously been inaccessible to us due to the low volume of conversions. This helped us to unlock greater performance efficiency within the digital channels and build a business case for increased media investment.

    Results: Our approach to building a deep understanding of the business and using this understanding to unlock sophistication in the platforms has helped us to generate 22% in total business growth and 12.5% growth in ROAS over the course of a 3-year partnership.
