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.

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?

As the UK’s leading arts and crafts retailer, Hobbycraft serves a passionate and highly diverse customer base, from casual DIY enthusiasts to professional creators. With a catalog exceeding 27,000 SKUs across painting, baking, knitting, and countless other creative categories, the company’s approach to ecommerce needed to reflect the same inspiration and variety as its stores.

As Hobbycraft expanded its online presence and doubled down on digital growth, it recognized that its existing search and merchandising setup wasn’t keeping pace with evolving shopper expectations. In particular, the brand faced several obstacles to delivering an artful product discovery experience:

  • Limited scalability with a rule-based setup. The brand’s previous solution relied on rigid, rule-based configurations that demanded perfectly structured and enriched product data. With tens of thousands of SKUs, even small data inconsistencies led to broken results and unpredictable customer journeys.
  • Unreliable search experience across large, varied assortments. Broad searches like “paint” or “stickers” often surfaced an unbalanced mix of products — such as kids’ kits alongside professional supplies — without any logical hierarchy or category intent. This made it difficult for customers to find what they needed quickly and confidently.
  • Manual, high-effort merchandising processes. Traditional tactics like pinning or boosting offered limited control and required constant updates, especially when products went out of stock or campaign priorities shifted. Hobbycraft wanted to empower its merchandisers to guide the experience where it mattered most — ensuring curated variety in top search positions — while letting AI handle the rest.

To best serve its customers and continuously meet their short-term coverage needs, Dayinsure strives to build an ongoing relationship with its audience. 

But doing so was a challenge with its previous marketing technology. Dayinsure needed to fully understand its customer base — what they wanted, what incentives they looked for, their preferred way to connect with Dayinsure, and more — to build customer relationships that went beyond the first purchase. 

At the same time, the brand needed to automate reengagement campaigns and effectively leverage its customer data. Manually segmenting audiences and building workflows took up too much time and team bandwidth, driving Dayinsure to seek out a more advanced solution.

TFG has always had a customer-first approach, which is why it wanted to find new ways to create personalized experiences for its customers without being intrusive. The company was aware of recent advancements in AI technology that would open up new ways to connect with customers. In particular, the organization wanted to explore using conversational shopping as a solution.  

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? 

TFG needed a solution that could properly address these concerns while also driving consequential business impact.

Nasty Gal USA provided a unique opportunity for marketing experimentation. The need to build out the brand’s automated customer journeys and overall marketing strategy offered a chance to try new ideas. 

While proven and reliable strategies are driving forces for well-known brands like PrettyLittleThing, Nasty Gal’s status granted its marketing team the freedom to experiment with different campaigns, test bold strategies, and innovate the customer experience using Bloomreach Engagement’s comprehensive capabilities. 

With experimentation in mind, the team focused on boosting two key goals for the brand: converting first-time shoppers on the website and increasing the lifetime value of its existing customers.

Traditional marketing channels like email can lead to messages getting overlooked. After all, with customers receiving so many marketing messages every day, how can brands cut through the noise?

This is the challenge Venture Group faced. The brand found it difficult to effectively promote cross-marketing initiatives and collect timely feedback. The group recognized the need for a more personal and engaging way to connect with their customers and build one-on-one relationships, particularly after they had already made a booking.

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.

With a diverse, international customer base, MyUS knew that serving the right marketing messages to the right audience was key to customer retention and growth. 

But a disconnected tech stack made this a difficult task. With data siloes slowing its marketing team down, MyUS struggled to segment relevant audiences and create timely, targeted messages. 

To deliver truly personalized campaigns, the company needed to:

  • Unify its customer data from all its sources to better understand each customer
  • Deliver relevant, loyalty-driving marketing campaigns to the right audience
  • Automate key interactions across its channels to engage customers at the right moment

With a wide range of products and a customer base that spans different age groups, languages, and shopping preferences, Patrick Morin recognized that its on-site experience needed to be both accurate and intuitive to keep pace with the expectations of shoppers. The brand also had to balance operational efficiency with the ability to deliver personalized experiences at scale and better accommodate customers in the fluid home renovation market. 

However, Patrick Morin’s tech setup created several roadblocks:

  • Unreliable search. Customers frequently struggled to find products, especially when searching in Québec French — mixing English and French — or using slang terms. These frustrations often led to abandoned shopping journeys and lost revenue opportunities for Patrick Morin. 
  • Labor-intensive merchandising. A small ecommerce team had to manually update weekly flyers, seasonal promotions, and product rankings, leaving little capacity for more strategic merchandising initiatives.
  • Inconsistent product data. Gaps in the PIM system limited the ability to deliver precise results, enable faceted navigation, or lay the groundwork for advanced personalization.
  • Preparing for future growth. With B2B capabilities and advanced personalization on the roadmap, Patrick Morin knew its existing setup wouldn’t be able to support future needs for its continually expanding business.
