The Challenge

Nkuku is an ethical and environmentally sustainable homeware and lifestyle brand with a loyal customer base and a strong product range. They wanted to complement their in-house paid media capacity with an agency that could capture the demand of peak season.ย 

Nkuku needed experienced support to plug into their existing team quickly, and deliver during the most commercially important period of the year. Having worked together in previous years, we had the trust and familiarity to hit the ground running.

Our Approach

Full-Channel Audit & Refresh

To build the best possible foundation for our work, we set out to complete a thorough audit across all paid channels. This put us in a better position to align our strategy to Nkuku’s revenue and efficiency targets.

Smarter Google Strategy

It was important to find the right balance between Performance Max and Standard Shopping campaigns. Shifting this split drove a +20% YoY increase in Google non-brand revenue, fuelling new customer acquisition.

Brand Efficiency

Efficiency is key in paid media. We restructured Nkukuโ€™s brand campaigns on Google Ads and Microsoft Ads to reduce wasted spend. The result was a CPC reduction of 19%, brand spend reduction of 20%, and a ROAS increase of 15%.

Scaling Microsoft Ads

There was significant untapped potential in Microsoft Ads. We increased non-brand channel spend by +460% at a CPC 36% lower. This more than quadrupled revenue year-on-year, doubling ROI through improved structure and hygiene.

Cross-Channel Optimisation

Paid social is a key channel forย  Nkuku. Pinterest, especially, was being underutilised. Developing a thorough remarketing and retention approach, alongside a creative performance analysis, we improved Pinterest ROI by +45% and Meta purchases by 220% YoY.

Improved Real-Time Reporting

Clearer live reporting during Q4 gave Nkuku better visibility of performance throughout peak, enabling faster and more informed decision-making. Regular reviews ensured the strategy stayed on track and adapted as the period unfolded.
