02 The Challenge
Sommer Swim is a luxury swimwear brand with a cult following.
Renowned for its chic European designs, Sommer Swim is loved by celebs including Kendall Jenner, Kourtney Kardashian, Sofia Richie and Victoria's Secret models. With its growing customer base, Sommer Swim knew it must create a seamless digital experience to drive its next growth phase and engaged us to help. The challenge was to deliver something that could grow fast with the business and service a global audience who expect a premium eCommerce experience.
03 Our Approach
A bespoke design and marketing approach to push Sommer Swim into the future.
To help Sommer Swim realise its growth potential, we undertook a marketing discovery to assess their current state capability and understand opportunities for growth. This process involved stakeholder interviews, workshops, and a 360-degree audit of Sommer Swim’s existing digital presence.
The discovery process enabled Clue to design a full digital strategy, including a sequenced roadmap of initiatives that would set Sommer Swim up for its next growth phase.
To bring the strategy to life, we implemented a thorough paid, owned, and earned media plan. This included ongoing SEO, Google Ads (PPC), and social media advertising, as well as informing the brand’s content strategy.
To improve the overall digital experience and improve conversion rate optimisation, we designed a new user interface (UI) and improved the user experience (UX). Sommer Swim's existing Shopify eCommerce presence and integrations were also upgraded and ready to handle increased traffic from major markets in Asia, Australia, Europe, and the United States.
The latest Shopify Plus features and functionality were used to help increase revenue and brand loyalty. This was achieved through embedded videography, a shoppable Instagram gallery, and user-generated content on product pages.
