The BFCM Index: three years of Black Friday performance, broken down by channel.

New markets, built to earn their own margin, not just their own campaign.

Each new market gets its own creative, payment setup and attribution, reconciled against Shopify actuals so you know within weeks whether it's working. We shift budget toward whichever region is proving itself, daily, based on live return.

WHAT WE SHIP

A dedicated setup for every market

Each new market gets its own campaign structure, localised brief and matched payment stack across Meta, TikTok and Google. Budget shifts daily toward the strongest-performing region, with floors and ceilings a specialist sets and reviews.

Creative rebuilt for each market, not translated

AU hooks rarely transfer clean to the UK or US, so we run a fresh hook-test cycle in the first eight weeks of every region. You see hook rate, hold rate and thumb-stop reported per market, not blended away.

Attribution that can't hide a weak market

We reconcile platform-reported revenue against Shopify actuals, market by market, so an underperforming region can't hide inside a healthy blended number. A specialist reads the variance every week.

Local currency and payment methods, tuned to region

Klarna and Afterpay penetration differs sharply between AU, UK and US, so we set currency display and payment options per market and track conversion by payment method in the first 30 days to catch checkout friction early.

Cold audiences rebuilt for each market

We rebuild audiences per market from local interest signals and in-market lookalikes rather than importing AU targeting into a different demographic. Seed performance and audience overlap are reviewed weekly.

Daily cross-market budget reallocation

Spend moves across regions daily toward whichever market is proving itself on live ROAS, not on a quarterly plan set before launch. A new market gets a defined testing budget and a clear bar to clear before it earns more; markets that underperform get capped, not defended out of habit.
