Case Study: Leather Jacket Shop – Paid Marketing (PPC)

Overview

Leather Jacket Shop (LJS) is an established Australian e-commerce brand specializing in premium leather jackets and bags for men and women. With a global customer base and a decade of experience, LJS partnered with us to overhaul their paid marketing strategy and drive consistent sales through Google Ads, Meta Ads, Bing Ads, and Email Marketing.

What We Did

– Revamped Google Ads to focus on TOFU (Top of Funnel) awareness campaigns
– Ran BOFU (Bottom of Funnel) conversion campaigns on Meta Ads
– Used Bing Ads for supplementary brand visibility
– Created high-converting email campaigns for lead nurturing and customer retention

Challenges

LJS was facing high CPCs and declining ROAS on their BOFU-heavy campaigns. They also struggled to bring in new traffic and convert first-time visitors into loyal customers. Saturation and lack of nurturing touchpoints created an urgent need for a holistic funnel-based paid strategy.

Strategy:
– Focused on Dynamic Search Ads, Broad Match Keywords, and Early Season Promos

Conclusion

By diversifying LJS’s paid strategy across TOFU and BOFU funnels, and by pairing it with nurturing email sequences, we were able to reduce dependency on high-cost conversion ads. The TOFU-first approach on Google significantly expanded brand reach while Meta Ads and Email brought those leads back to convert—yielding consistent sales across all channels.
