Paid media & Strategy

The brief.
Hike was engaged to assist SICK! in driving substantial growth in monthly sales through strategic paid social media advertising on Meta and targeted paid search campaigns on Google. Our primary objective was to establish a consistent revenue stream while leveraging the festive season to maximise promotional sales.
​
In just over one month, we delivered exceptional results, generating an additional €200,000 in revenue. Moreover, we are well on track to doubling their sales compared to the previous year, highlighting the effectiveness of our tailored strategies and data-driven approach.
The services.
-
Paid Social: Our approach focused entirely on driving conversions by leveraging the exceptional content SICK! had already produced for their social platforms and YouTube channel. Using dynamic and visually compelling assets, we highlighted individual product launches and promotional activities. This strategy not only helped attract a fresh and expanded audience but also enabled us to upsell to existing customers through targeted remarketing efforts. Additionally, we implemented retargeting campaigns to engage users who had interacted with the website or social posts, turning interest into conversions.
​
-
Paid Search: We optimised Performance Max campaigns by targeting keywords relevant to SICK!’s product offerings, their associated sports and Fabio himself to maximise sales. YouTube video ads were incorporated to effectively tell the brand’s story and spotlight key product features. By running Performance Max campaigns across Google, we increased brand visibility, showcased their diverse product range, and successfully drove sales.
​
-
Strategy: To maintain consistency, we aligned our campaigns with upcoming product drops, scheduled social content and promotions the brand was looking to run over Black Friday. This ensured a seamless connection between all channels, reinforcing the messaging and enhancing audience understanding of the brand’s offerings. By unifying the content and advertising efforts, we created a cohesive experience that resonated across platforms.
The outcome.
Our partnership with SICK! has delivered exceptional outcomes right from the outset, exceeding expectations and achieving impressive performance metrics:
​

Order volume: Increased by an outstanding 119%.
