Executive summary
01 Ignition
We lit a fire under a stagnant programme—identifying untapped opportunities and using strategic CPA shifts to spark fresh momentum across content channels in both the UK and Germany.
02 Momentum
From overlooked to overachieving, the programme gained serious pace—publisher activations surged, tracking issues were resolved, and performance snowballed with triple-digit growth in just weeks.
03 Resonance
By aligning Freddie’s with lifestyle-driven editorial narratives, we made the brand more than visible—we made it relevant. Placements in titles like Tatler, Vogue Germany, and Marie Claire turned passive readers into active customers.
The Challenge: From Static to Stagnant
When Freddie’s Flowers partnered with RevWise, their affiliate programme had flatlined. It was overly reliant on bottom-funnel voucher and B2B partners, lacked any consistent communication cadence, and had seen high-potential publishers quietly drop out. With Mother’s Day fast approaching, there was an urgent need to re-energise the programme across both the UK and Germany.
Key issues:
Lack of upper/mid-funnel content partners
Poor publisher engagement and communication
Tracking failures and code leakage in the DE market
Static CPA model that disincentivised growth
Our brief? Optimise, not relaunch. Inject life into what already existed and turn it into a scalable, content-led acquisition channel.
The Strategy: Creative, Cross-Border Optimisation
We rebuilt the programme from the inside out—with performance, storytelling, and data at the heart of every decision. We ran a dual-market strategy across the UK and Germany, grounded in SEO insights, editorial analysis, and publisher-first communication.
What we did:
Reviewed 2,000+ publishers and reached out to 520+ targeted partners
Introduced server-to-server (S2S) tracking and fixed code leakage in DE
Rebalanced CPA rates—cutting costs for vouchers, boosting rates for content
Built consistent, trust-building comms through weekly newsletters and daily offer updates
Activated premium partners including Good Housekeeping, The Telegraph, Marie Claire, Vogue Germany, Yahoo, and Conde Nast Traveller
The Results: A Programme in Full Bloom
This was more than a tune-up—it was a transformation. Within just 3 months, the newly optimised Freddie’s Flowers programme had blossomed into a high-performing, cross-market success.
We delivered remarkable YoY results across the UK and Germany markets:
Revenue grew by 747% — from £2,840 to £24,077
Average Order Value (AOV) surged 725% — from £28 to £231
Cost Per Acquisition (CPA) dropped 64%
This wasn’t short-term flash—it was sustainable, incremental growth. We didn't just spend more to get more. We re-engineered the engine.
With performance rising, we also elevated brand equity by securing top-tier editorial coverage in Good Housekeeping, The Telegraph, The Guardian, ITVX, Tatler, Marie Claire, Vogue Germany, Yahoo, and Conde Nast Traveller.
The affiliate programme went from background noise to a core channel—driving meaningful sales, brand storytelling, and publisher engagement across multiple markets.
