The challenge

Turn a one-off experiment into a real acquisition channel

Marley Spoon knew influencer marketing could work. What they needed was proof it could work predictably, at a cost per acquisition that stood up next to their other performance channels, month after month rather than in a single lucky burst.

The brief was not reach for its own sake. It was new customers, measured, at a return the finance team would sign off on.

The strategy

A tiered performance ecosystem, optimised in real time

We built an always-on system rather than a campaign. Long-term marquee ambassadors gave the brand consistency and trust, while rotational macro and micro sprints kept the creative fresh and the audience widening.

Instagram Stories did the converting, with link-in-bio and promo-code calls to action turning attention into trackable orders. Each creator was matched to a lifestyle the product actually served, so the message landed as a recommendation, not an ad.

The results

Performance you could put in a board pack

Across 48 months of continuous optimisation, the program held a consistent 4.8x return on ad spend while building a large, reusable content library that fed the entire funnel.
