The challenge

With growing success in the USA and Hong Kong, Sam Edelman’s growth targets to expand into the UK required a digital marketing strategy that delivered measurable ROI.

Sam Edelman needed a performance-focused digital marketing agency with experience in the fashion industry to unlock success through Paid Search. Campaigns needed to be seen by prospective customers, presenting Sam Edelman shoes as the must-have footwear of the season.

The solution

We began working with Sam Edelman in April 2025, commencing with a rebuild and relaunch of their Paid Search campaigns. During our first month of working together, Sam Edelman launched their iconic Kylie Jenner collaboration, making massive waves within the footwear industry.

Our digital strategy deployed high-performing ecommerce campaigns, optimised to achieve monthly ROAS and revenue targets that unlocked measurable growth.
