The Challenge
Proferlo Furniture had a quality product and ambitions to expand into a new market, but their digital presence was holding them back. Their marketing relied on inflating ad spend rather than strategy, leaving them with no real brand identity, inconsistent content, and a website that failed to convert. Without a cohesive design language or a content foundation that built trust, they were burning budget with little to show for it.

Strategy
We rebuilt Proferlo's digital presence from the ground up — creating a unified strategy that combined high-impact content creation, performance-led paid media, and a UGC engine to build brand credibility and drive sustained revenue growth.

Performance Marketing & Promotional Strategy

We built a full-funnel paid media system that retargeted warm audiences and re-engaged previous site visitors through structured promotional cycles on Meta and Google. This was supported by automated email flows designed to capture and convert at every stage of the customer journey.

UGC Programme

We developed a non-paid UGC strategy in partnership with New Zealand's top-performing creators — building a curated prospect directory, outreach framework, and a tailored pitch document. The result was a full content library of authentic UGC assets, each mapped to specific products and audience segments.

Brand Content & Creative Production

Proferlo's content lacked the quality and relatability needed to convert. We executed two production shoots: one grounding the brand in a distinctly New Zealand environment, the other a bold creative shoot for their top-selling category. The new content was implemented site-wide and drove an immediate 30% uplift in online revenue.
