Goldfield & Banks
A Global Growth Strategy
Goldfield & Banks approached us as a single-market, boutique fragrance brand with a rapidly growing retail footprint and ambitious plans for global expansion. While their physical presence was scaling across luxury retail and department store channels, their direct-to-consumer (DTC) eCommerce strategy was still in its early stages.
Our challenge was to translate the brand’s retail momentum into scalable digital success—replicating its premium in-store experience across multiple international markets and online platforms. This meant not only launching into new territories such as the U.S., UK, and Gulf Region but also doing so in a way that maintained strong performance metrics like MER, blended ROAS, and customer acquisition efficiency.

What We Did Executed a full-funnel, multi-platform strategy across Meta and Google- localised by region and integrated with offline activations- to maximise conversions and customer lifetime value.
Our Brief
With rapid international expansion underway, the brand required a scalable, performance-driven digital marketing framework that could effectively generate revenue across a diverse set of global markets. Each region posed unique challenges in terms of consumer behaviour, cost efficiency, and brand awareness, making a one-size-fits-all strategy unsustainable.
The key to success lay in finding the right balance between new customer acquisition cost (NCAC) and lifetime value (LTV) - ensuring that each dollar spent brought not just immediate returns, but long-term brand loyalty and profitability. Complicating matters further was the nature of the product: fragrance. Selling a scent-based product online introduces a distinct challenge - consumers cannot physically experience the product before purchasing. This meant we needed to rethink the traditional eCommerce funnel, introducing innovative touchpoints that could replicate elements of the in-store experience. Through a carefully structured sample-to-full-size conversion strategy, supported by personalised email and SMS flows, we created a pathway for customers to trial the product before committing to full-size purchases. This approach not only lowered the barrier to entry for first-time buyers, but also significantly increased LTV through strategic upsell and retention sequences.
Our Strategy
We launched a sampling-led funnel, used email to drive upsells, and tailored creative by market. Combined with offline activations, this strategy turned first-time buyers into loyal customers and scaled digital revenue across AU, US, and UK regions.
The Challenges
We faced three core challenges: First, overcoming digital barriers in fragrance sales by creating a compelling online experience that converted without in-store testing. Second, localising creative at scale to reflect varying consumer behaviours across regions while keeping production efficient. Third, aligning offline and online strategies to ensure digital campaigns supported and amplified retail activations.
Together, these solutions helped build a seamless, high-performing brand experience that bridged physical and digital touchpoints across multiple international markets.
The Result
Goldfield & Banks is now a globally recognised fragrance brand, with a scalable digital marketing foundation that continues to drive revenue across multiple regions.
