CHALLENGE

Founded in 1982 and shaped by family ownership, Wellington of Bilmore has built a strong reputation in wholesale and retail over several decades. The brand developed organically, supported by loyal customers and a clear identity rooted in premium fashion and heritage craftsmanship.


With the launch of its Shopify store in 2024, the brand took an important step toward expanding its direct-to-consumer presence. While the foundation was strong, digital channels had not yet been managed within a fully structured growth framework. Initial paid media activities showed potential but lacked a clear incremental logic and strategic integration across product, content, and performance.

Approach

We started working with Wellington of Bilmore in September 2025, aligned with the Fall/Winter season. The goal was clear: build a scalable D2C engine — but before scaling budgets, the structural foundation had to be in place.


CRM architecture, shop optimization, and a defined growth framework were not yet systematically established. We therefore focused on building the necessary infrastructure first — enabling controlled scaling, measurable incrementality, and a performance setup ready to support sustainable growth.

Relationship

Our collaboration with Wellington of Bilmore is built on close coordination, short decision paths, and a shared focus on long-term growth. We work directly with the management team and align closely with our partners HEXWHITE, responsible for Shopify development, and BOOST IT, managing SEO — ensuring that shop infrastructure, paid media, and strategic direction move in lockstep.




Weekly video jour fixes form the operational backbone of the partnership. Together, we review performance, discuss product development and restocks, align on upcoming priorities, and define the next growth levers. The collaboration is built on trust and operates at eye level — functioning as an integrated extension of the brand´s marketing structure rather than an external service provider.

Klaviyo Newsletter Marketing

When we began working with Wellington of Bilmore, retention marketing was not yet systematically established. We implemented a structured Klaviyo setup including all essential automations such as welcome flows, abandoned cart and checkout sequences, and post-purchase communication. In parallel, we introduced a weekly campaign calendar aligned with product launches and seasonal priorities to create consistent customer touchpoints.

Beyond operational execution, we actively scale the CRM database by testing targeted acquisition mechanisms, including incentive-based sign-up strategies and dedicated subscriber flows. The objective is to build a strong owned channel that drives recurring revenue and supports long-term D2C stability.

Social-Media Advertising

Social media is the primary paid growth lever for Wellington of Bilmore. Our approach follows a SKU-driven performance strategy, where each product within a season is systematically tested to identify which items generate real demand and scalable contribution. This allows us to prioritize budgets based on measurable product performance rather than assumptions.

Aligned with our philosophy that fashion ads should not explain but create impact, we rely on strong, professional visuals with a clear product focus. Clean compositions, confident styling, and distinct textures allow the garments to speak for themselves. This ensures attention at the top of the funnel and a performance setup designed to translate visual impact into profitable growth.

Product & Collection Performance Analysis

Wellington of Bilmore manages an online assortment of more than 800 SKUs, including numerous color and material variations. In such a structure, effective scaling is only possible with precise, product-level steering. By implementing our BENCHMARKED BI, we connect media performance, contribution margin, inventory data, and sales metrics to distribute budgets based on measurable product results rather than aggregate averages.

Beyond media allocation, we support the brand with structured assortment analysis. This includes restock and carry-over recommendations, color and material performance insights, and demand forecasts based on historical data and seasonal patterns. The objective is to align marketing, purchasing, and inventory decisions — ensuring that the right products are scaled, reordered in appropriate quantities, and strategically planned for future seasons.
