Powering global paid ads growth for an iconic brand
Blunt Umbrellas designs and sells premium umbrellas from New Zealand to customers around the world. The ambition was plain: keep scaling ad spend across markets without wasting a dollar of it. The obstacle was one every ecommerce team knows. Google, Meta, and every other platform each claimed credit for the same sales, and the numbers never agreed. Scaling budgets on those reports meant scaling on assumption.
We took attribution out of the platforms' hands. Using Marketing Mix Modelling and data-backed forecasting, we measured which channels were genuinely driving revenue and where incremental spend would deliver the greatest return. Then we scaled the budgets the model backed. The model sits on top of years of performance work: website testing, street-style creative, audience segmentation and weather-triggered ads. The work below covers all of it.
