Harry Brown London
Fashion brand Harry Brown London is a fashion brand whose target market is men who want high-end, tailored suits, especially for weddings and special events and occasions.
We were tasked with driving direct sales from digital strategies for Harry Brown London.
As a fast growing fashion brand that retails tailored suits online. It was a big challenge, but we knew we had to start from scratch. We implemented a completely new strategy through a full suite of channels: Google Search, Display, Shopping and Performance Max, Facebook and Instagram.
Our consultancy covers business strategy, financial modelling, commercialisation of an online presence, digital strategy and analysis or management of third parties. We aim to demystify online marketing and explain at a board level what, why, how, where and when your marketing to get the best return.
The Challenge
Harry Brown, a wholesale eCommerce brand, came to Emotio as a business looking to expand its sales and grow a sub-brand direct to consumers. This meant branching out to a direct consumer space, which they were not experienced in. That’s where we came in.
Our challenge was to help them build online visibility and authority to compete with their competitors. We also wanted to increase awareness and direct conversions so that new customers would recognise the brand and current customers would become advocates for it.
The Solution
One of our clients came to us with a problem: they needed help getting their products in front of their target audience. We knew we had to start from scratch when tasked with this challenge. We implemented a completely new strategy through a full suite of channels: Google Search, Display, Shopping and Performance Max, which includes Gmail and YouTube. All of these were used to contribute to the creation of a solid channel to drive conversions.
We used Google Shopping to set up a catalogue feed to optimise and pull through the relevant audiences. We ran Display Advertising over Google’s Display Network, which typically reaches 98% of web users for marketing.
We tested a variety of ad formats to refine the best messages for generating conversions. For example, we found that audiences responded well to images of the product in use, so we pushed quality product imagery to audiences that matched the right interests and demographics. Our team also created a collection of campaigns that fit a carefully selected targeted demographic, geographic and psychographic profile. As a result, we generated a lot of interest in our product and drove conversions.
