The challenge

Where we started

We needed to transform an award-winning local boutique into a highly profitable online brand by launching a Shopify store and running an emotionally-led, phased social media strategy.

The goals

What we focused on

Track sales from marketing

So the brand knew exactly what it was making and where to reinvest.

Shift from footfall to digital

Reduce reliance on physical footfall and grow online traffic.

Optimise the profile

Make sure visitors know who the brand is, what it sells and why to choose it.

Elevate with on-brand imagery

Replace low-quality, home-taken photos with a unique point of view.

The strategy

Seven phases

  1. 01

    Account optimisation

    Removing low-quality imagery and optimising for discovery and conversion.

  2. 02

    Establishing the who, what and why

    Weaving their award-winning status and full product range into the content pillars.

  3. 03

    Developing a recognisable style

    Dedicated content shoots for a premium style that reflected the brand.

  4. 04

    Pre-launch data capture

    A lead-gen phase to build hype and a warm email list before launch.

  5. 05

    E-commerce integration

    A brand-new Shopify site so anyone, anywhere could shop CC Boutique.

  6. 06

    Campaign launch

    The “With You Anywhere” campaign, anchoring the brand to life's biggest moments.

  7. 07

    Strategic partnerships

    Collaborations with local salons and stores to grow regional visibility.

The execution

How we did it

Before the Shopify site opened, we built anticipation with an exclusive mailing list sign-up and a 10% first-order incentive. On launch day, we weren't posting and hoping for sales; we were marketing to a warm database.

Our “With You Anywhere” campaign positioned CC Boutique as the brand for every milestone: the wedding-guest dress, the anniversary flowers, the pick-me-up necklace for a best friend, the vase for a first home. That emotional story sent high-intent traffic straight to the new site.
