Featured Case Study — Hotels

Criterion Hospitalities × Zedwell Hotels

TikTok campaign + offline growth strategy. Six months. One goal: more bookings.

+33%
Increase in bookings over 6 months

The problem: Zedwell Hotels needed direct bookings. Occupancy had flatlined, OTA dependency was expensive, brand awareness among younger travellers was nonexistent.


What we did: Dual-channel campaign — TikTok content strategy plus offline awareness. Short-form videos showcasing pod-style rooms, wellness positioning, central London locations, amplified through paid targeting UK travellers 22–40. Offline: concierge placements, transport hub advertising, cross-promotions with dining and entertainment venues.


The result: 33% booking increase over six months. TikTok became a consistent source of direct website traffic. Offline partnerships built a referral pipeline that kept converting after the campaign ended.


The cost per acquisition came in below OTA commission rates. Every booking was cheaper and direct.

More results

Same approach. Different industries. Same outcome.

Restaurants

Mediterranean Restaurant Group — Central London

Three-site restaurant group struggling with midweek covers across all locations.

+30%
Midweek cover increase across 3 sites over 4 months

The problem: Weekend bookings were strong, but Tuesday through Thursday the dining rooms were half-empty. The group was running generic Instagram posts and had no local search strategy.

What we did: Built a location-specific Google Business Profile strategy for each site, launched a TikTok series following the head chef through prep and service, negotiated referral partnerships with four nearby hotels, and ran geo-targeted midweek promotions on Instagram and Meta ads.

The result: Midweek covers rose 30% across all three sites within four months. The hotel referral partnerships alone accounted for 40+ covers per week that didn't exist before.

Turns out people do eat on Tuesdays. Who knew.

Nightlife

Underground Music Venue — East London

A 400-capacity basement venue with inconsistent attendance and no pre-sale system.

85%
Average capacity reached on event nights, up from 45%

The problem: The venue was relying on walk-ins and last-minute Instagram stories. Some nights sold out organically; most didn't break 50% capacity. No ticketing funnel, no email list, no systematic promotion.

What we did: Built a pre-sale ticketing funnel with early-bird pricing, launched an SMS and email list through QR codes at the venue, ran targeted social campaigns segmented by music genre, and coordinated co-branded nights with resident DJs who had their own followings.

The result: Average event-night attendance rose from 45% to 85% capacity. Pre-sales now account for 60% of tickets, giving the venue reliable revenue forecasts before the doors even open.

The queue outside is the best marketing you can't buy.

Influencers & Creators

Lifestyle Creator — 55k Followers, London

Strong engagement but zero monetisation. Brands were reaching out with gifting offers only.

£4,200/mo
Average monthly brand deal revenue within 3 months, from zero

The problem: The creator had genuine engagement and a loyal following but was accepting every gifting offer and had no rate card, no media kit, and no idea what to charge. Brands saw them as free content, not a paid partner.

What we did: Audited their content to identify their most commercially valuable niche, built a professional media kit with audience demographics, produced a rate card based on market benchmarks, and ran outreach to 30 target brands with a tailored pitch deck. We also set up a Substack newsletter to build an owned audience.

The result: Three paid brand partnerships signed within eight weeks. By month three, the creator was averaging £4,200 per month in brand deal income and had grown a 2,400-subscriber newsletter as an owned channel.

They stopped accepting free candles after week two.

Online Services

Booking Platform for Independent Salons — UK-wide

A SaaS platform with a good product and flat trial sign-ups for three consecutive quarters.

2.4x
Trial sign-ups in two quarters, with 38% trial-to-paid conversion

The problem: The product worked well and retention was strong, but acquisition had stalled. The founder was running generic Google Ads and posting sporadically on LinkedIn. No referral programme, no case studies, no content engine.

What we did: Built a LinkedIn thought-leadership cadence for the founder, produced three video case studies with existing salon clients, launched a referral incentive programme giving existing users a free month for every referral, and restructured their Meta and Google campaigns to target salon owners by postcode cluster.

The result: Trial sign-ups increased 2.4x over two quarters. The referral programme alone drove 22% of new trials. Trial-to-paid conversion improved from 28% to 38% as the case studies gave prospects confidence before they signed up.

Turns out salon owners trust other salon owners. Revolutionary.

Marketplace Sellers

Home Fragrance Brand — Amazon & Etsy

A small home fragrance brand buried on page three of Amazon, with zero Etsy presence.

Page 1
Amazon ranking for 6 target keywords within 5 months

The problem: Listings were unoptimised — poor titles, amateur photography, no A+ Content, no review strategy. The brand was spending on Sponsored Products with a negative ROAS and had never considered Etsy as a channel.

What we did: Rewrote all Amazon listings with keyword-optimised titles and bullet points, commissioned professional product photography, built A+ Content brand pages, restructured their PPC campaigns around high-intent keywords, launched a compliant post-purchase review request sequence, and set up an Etsy storefront with platform-native copy and imagery.

The result: Six target keywords moved to page one on Amazon within five months. Etsy became the second-highest revenue channel within three months of launch. Combined marketplace revenue grew 180% year-on-year.

Page three is where candles go to gather dust. Ironic.

Direct to Consumer

Independent Skincare Brand — Shopify

A founder-led skincare brand with a loyal in-person following but almost no online sales.

£18k/mo
Monthly online revenue within 6 months, from under £800

The problem: The founder had built a cult following at markets and pop-ups but the Shopify store was an afterthought — no email capture, no social commerce, no paid strategy. Monthly online revenue sat below £800.

What we did: Set up Instagram Shopping and TikTok Shop, built an email list through in-store QR codes and a "free sample" lead magnet, launched a Klaviyo welcome sequence and abandoned cart flow, partnered with five micro-influencers for unboxing content, and ran targeted Meta campaigns using UGC creative.

The result: Online revenue grew from under £800/month to £18,000/month within six months. Email now drives 35% of online revenue. The TikTok Shop alone generates £3,200/month and growing.

The pop-up tent is still going. But so is the Shopify store.
