Cutting acquisition cost across three international markets

Cutting acquisition cost across three international markets

What we did

Budgy Smuggler is the Australian swimwear label that turned an unapologetically brief cut into a following well beyond home, selling into the UK and Europe alongside its home market. Zephyr partnered with Budgy Smuggler on marketing strategy and paid media across all three markets, with a clear brief: bring acquisition cost down without slowing growth. Our role has spanned channel strategy and day-to-day media management, built around a business whose year turns on a single peak season.
