01

The challenge

Atlas & Oak sells handcrafted solid-wood furniture with an average order value close to R5,000. Their previous agency treated the account like a fast-fashion store: broad prospecting, a single catalogue campaign and very little creative variety.

Spend was rising, but return on ad spend had flattened at 2.1x and the team was losing confidence in paid media as a growth channel. With a long consideration cycle — most customers visited the site four or more times before buying — the brand needed a strategy that nurtured interest rather than chasing a single click.

Our approach

01

Rebuilt tracking from the ground up

Implemented the Meta Conversions API and Google enhanced conversions, recovering roughly 22% of purchases that weren’t being attributed.

02

Restructured around the buying journey

Split budgets across inspiration, consideration and conversion, with room-specific audiences and catalogue sets for living, dining and bedroom.

03

Shot creative that sells craftsmanship

Produced a library of 40+ assets — workshop footage, styled room shots and real customer homes — refreshed every two weeks.

04

Moved Google to a feed-first strategy

Rewrote product titles and imagery in the feed, then layered Performance Max with brand and Shopping campaigns to protect high-intent search.

03

The results

By month six, paid channels were generating R1.1m in monthly revenue at a 5.8x blended ROAS. Cost per acquisition fell 37% while average order value rose, as sharper targeting brought in customers furnishing whole rooms rather than buying single pieces.

“Vantage didn’t just run our ads — they understood how our customers actually shop. Within a quarter we’d stopped asking whether paid media works and started asking how fast we could scale it.”
