Sideshow Goes From Concept to Campaign in 15 Minutes With Bloomreach Affinity
sidehow-case-study

The Challenge
With a lean marketing team, an audience of diverse fandoms, and dozens of product drops every month, Sideshow needed a faster, more relevant way to launch campaigns.

  • Demanding campaign-building processes = slow speed to market.
  • Diverse, dedicated fandoms = complex segmentation needs.
  • Manual workflows = missed real-time opportunities.

  • Endless combinations = overwhelming data.

TFG Boosts Online Conversion Rate by 35.2% With Bloomreach Clarity

The Challenge
TFG was aware of recent advancements in AI technology that would open up new ways to connect with customers. However, since conversational AI is still a new technology, TFG had concerns: 

  • What would it be perceived as assisting with? 
  • Would the solution just provide stock answers (that any algorithm could spit out)? 
  • Would it hallucinate and provide inaccurate results? 
  • Would it be a closed system?

Topdanmark faced challenges that many FinServ companies run into, such as cumbersome legacy systems full of customer data and the need to create custom customer elements quickly.

When deciding on a new platform to power their digital experience, Topdanmark was determined to find a solution that met three key criteria — continuous development of the product, an easier way to share content across multiple brands, and putting customer focus at the front and center of the online experience.

As Sur La Table worked to elevate its ecommerce experience, the team needed a product discovery solution that integrated tightly with Salesforce Commerce Cloud (SFCC), without introducing a complex ecosystem of disconnected point solutions. The brand sought a unified approach that could simplify operations, improve search relevance, and support long-term digital growth.

Here’s what Sur La Table was up against:

  • Fragmented and overly manual search tools. The existing search engine relied on rigid keyword rules, required constant human intervention, and couldn’t interpret natural, conversational queries. Customers struggled to find the products they were looking for, and search quality depended heavily on manual upkeep from the merchandising team.
  • An outdated recommendations engine that lacked intelligence. The out-of-the-box recommendation tools from the previous provider were expensive, disconnected from SFCC, and not adaptive to evolving shopper behavior. Even worse, the team had limited visibility into why certain recommendations appeared, which led the team to invest too much time in tracking down answers and implementing manual fixes.
  • Difficulty understanding and supporting real shopping behavior. Without an intent-aware search experience, Sur La Table couldn’t guide shoppers effectively through its extensive culinary catalog. From cookware and cutlery to tools and accessories, customers often hit dead ends instead of discovering relevant, complementary items to their purchases.
  • A desire to streamline technology without sacrificing capability. The brand wanted to replace multiple point solutions with a single, unified AI platform that delivered strong search, merchandising, and recommendations without increasing operational complexity.

Global Industrial started as a small material handling company when it was birthed in 1949 and has transformed into a B2B industry-leading distributor with over 1.7 million products in 21 industrial and commercial categories.

But just as Global Industrial differentiated itself in its first 70+ years of business, the company wanted to differentiate itself in the thought leadership realm as well. It wanted to create a platform to generate and distribute educational content to customers that could empower them with the resources they needed to be successful with Global Industrial products and to better understand the marketplace at large.

Global Industrial wanted to shift away from its product-focused and product-led website experience, as well as a homegrown website platform that offered little flexibility for expanding content storytelling.

Not only was MKM’s tech stack reaching its end of life, but the company was also highly aware of the issues surrounding its website — from slow load times and costly maintenance protocols to its digital experience being a subpar reflection of its stellar in-person experience. MKM recognized that the industry was changing, and within the next five to seven years, 45% of its current customer base would be retiring. Therefore, the business needed to lean into the “expectation economy,” or the idea that consumers, especially those who identify as millennials and Gen-Z,  have greater expectations than ever around every purchase decision.

The wholesaler also needed to address that its website only accounted for a limited amount of its business revenue. Additionally, MKM did not want the website experience to continue to reflect poorly on them as a provider of much-needed products and services and leave a potential channel of revenue untapped. The brand was also concerned about its website being the first touchpoint in the buyer’s journey, since it may deter a prospect from visiting one of its branches.

Finally, the existing website had no way to provide cohesive reporting, customer relationship management (CRM), or personalization. All of the product data was siloed, too — meaning that there was no single source of truth. Essentially, these shortcomings left MKM in a serious bind. The company had no way to evaluate the marketing and merchandising tactics that were working, differentiate customer and buyer types from one another, or ensure customer lifetime value.

musicMagpie’s data-driven business model depends on accurate customer insights. However, as browser restrictions on third-party cookies increased, the company anticipated significant challenges.

Historically, marketers relied on pixels and browser trackers to measure conversions and understand customer behavior. With browsers introducing protections like Safari’s Intelligent Tracking Prevention (ITP), many of those traditional tracking methods were becoming unreliable.

For musicMagpie, losing visibility into customer behavior would mean:

  • Reduced personalization capabilities
  • Less reliable performance tracking
  • Higher acquisition costs
  • Difficulty optimizing marketing spend

At the same time, the company needed deeper insights into the value of its existing customer base. Without structured lifecycle segmentation, it was difficult to distinguish loyal buyers from customers at risk of churning.

musicMagpie needed a solution that could unify customer data, support a cookieless future, and enable smarter retention strategies.

With a growth-focused business strategy and expanding product catalog, DUSK needed a marketing platform that could keep pace with its ambitions. But the limits of its previous email marketing provider made this difficult — data attribution, impactful reporting, and campaign automation was a real challenge, making relevant, timely campaigns difficult to realize.

To create campaigns that aligned with its business goals, DUSK needed to speak directly to its audience with a platform that offered: 

  • A unified view of customer relationships that integrates customer data from all its sources
  • The ability to personalize and orchestrate customer journeys at scale 
  • Detailed reporting that offers granular insights into lucrative touchpoints, campaign performance, and optimization opportunities.

In the fast-paced environment of modern football, Newcastle United wanted to create the most meaningful relationships with its fans. Tailoring communications for all its supporters — from matchday ticket buyers and retail customers to international fans — was a top priority, prompting the club to look for a platform that could scale with its evolving needs.

Limited automation, inflexible segmentation, and time-consuming campaign workflows created bottlenecks that hindered the personalized experiences that Newcastle United aimed for. To make its fan-focused strategy come to life, the club needed a solution that could:

  • Unify fan data from all its touchpoints to build comprehensive profiles of its global audience
  • Segment fans based on real-time behavior and build adaptive, automated campaigns
  • Streamline campaign creation with AI-powered capabilities that personalize communications at scale
  • Unlock deeper value from email channel performance

VGH needed to modernize how it communicated with policyholders across four separate insurance brands while reducing reliance on in-person transactions. With a complex distribution network spanning agents, savings banks, and digital channels, customer data lived in silos — making personalized, timely communication nearly impossible.

Manual, branch-dependent policy transitions = operational bottlenecks and limited scale. Contract adjustments — like upgrading legal protection policies to new product variants — traditionally required in-person visits to branch offices. This approach was resource-intensive, slow, and couldn’t scale to reach 1.6 million customers efficiently.

No foundation for data-driven marketing = generic campaigns with low engagement. Without centralized first-party data or consent management, VGH couldn’t execute targeted email campaigns or personalized website experiences. Marketing efforts relied on broad messaging that failed to resonate with specific policyholder segments.

Rising customer expectations for digital service = pressure to modernize or lose competitive ground. Customers increasingly expected seamless digital experiences similar to other industries. VGH’s outdated platforms couldn’t deliver the speed, personalization, or self-service capabilities that modern insurance buyers demand.

With a diverse audience of ecommerce managers and marketers with unique business needs, ClickCease knew that a personalized marketing strategy was key to connect with its customers, maintain engagement, and nurture valuable relationships.

The limits of ClickCease’s previous email platform made this goal a real challenge — static campaigns, manual journey orchestration, and disconnected data sources made it difficult to craft the hyper-relevant messages that ClickCease envisioned.

ClickCease needed a solution that could:

  • Unify all its data sources to build comprehensive, actionable customer profiles
  • Automate key touchpoints in the self-serve customer journey and orchestrate engaging, loyalty-building campaigns
  • Personalize communications at scale with modern workflows and the power of AI

Travelers planning a holiday often browse many destinations and hotels before making a decision, and NLTG sought a structured way for customers to save, revisit, and compare options across its brands.

Customer feedback consistently showed a strong demand for a “wishlist” feature on-site, and NLTG recognized that empowering travellers to save favorite hotels would not only improve the shopping experience, but also unlock valuable insights into traveler intent — creating new opportunities to personalize journeys, improve recommendations, and guide customers more effectively toward booking.

Yeo Valley Organic wanted to strengthen its community-focused appeal beyond supermarket shelves while rewarding customers who choose organic products. However, its existing loyalty approach wasn’t maximizing engagement or business impact.

The brand needed a platform that could deliver its unique “Farm to Fridge” experience digitally while maintaining its core values of fun, inclusivity, and community support.

Marine retailer Defender found that it was seeing great in-store success, but now needed to find a way to expand that success online. To achieve this, Defender knew it needed to address several key obstacles with its online experience: 

  • It needed to be conversational. Defender’s success in person came from having conversations with customers. The brand needed to replicate this online in a way that captured the brand’s tone and voice. 
  • It needed to be easy to use. Defender couldn’t dedicate the resources to manually babysit a tool — the solution the brand implemented had to be easy to implement and low maintenance. 
  • It needed to be an expert. Powersports, and especially in the marine industry, is highly reliant on expertise. The solution would have to be able to navigate product complexity without overwhelming the customer. 
  • It needed to be dynamic. The online experience on Defender’s site would fall apart if customers were just getting static recommendations. Defender wanted to be able to adapt to customer needs and preferences in real time.
