Vaughtons and parent company WH Darby’s are a 200 year old business operating in Birmingham’s (England) world famous jewellery quarter.  Manufacturers of handmade insignia, specialising in products such as Jewels, Medals, Chains of Office, Lapel Badges, Cufflinks and much more. During their prod history they have made Olympic medals, the FA Cup, and have had commissions from several royal families.

In 2021 Vaughtons approach Delta with a challenge. 

In recent years the business had diversified and created new revenue streams. This strategy had produced good results but also meant the business had lost focus and it’s brand identity had been diluted. Up against an increasingly competitive market, offering ever more specialised services and products Vaughtons understood that they need to evolve the business if they were to successfully see off the competition and build for the future. 

The Canadian tax industry is very competitive. TurboTax and H&R Block are the giants in the space. SimpleTax came along with any innovatively easy product and fun product that challenged the status quo. The brought fun to a stale space. My job was to efficiently bring in new customers to simpletax.ca through primarily paid search, and assisted with paid social activities. It was very important the message was 'on brand' which had a more 'fun' approach than the competitors. We also had tight CPA requirements as the payment model was a 'pay what you want' or donation model.

Client was struggling with a business that had steadily decreasing revenue over the course of 3 years. This was sped up by the fact they went through an acquisition that wasn't integrating with their parent company quickly.

The client has over 5,000 SKU's, and a percentage of sales comes over the phone, losing performance insights.

One of the areas our client was struggling with was that they wanted to continually increase the ROAS targets; which was driving down spend and overall revenue. This was even more challenging, given some of the tracking challenges.

The client also didn't have a cohesive affiliate or promotions strategy.

This client was very particular about the content that went out because it is a luxury hair salon. He works with celebrities and wanted to make sure that his content truly reflected what he did. We were able to capture his brand voice and post consistently. He was very busy so getting imagery was harder for him, we found stock imagery that reflected his brand and made the most out of not having imagery from his salon.
