Sector-based case studies

Results across the industries we serve

Honest, anonymised examples grouped by vertical, automotive, insurance, retail, and entertainment. Each describes the challenge, what we did, and the type of outcome. We share named references and detailed figures privately on a call.

Automotive dealer group

Challenge: A multi-branch dealer group relied on walk-ins and classified listings, with little visibility into which marketing actually sold cars. What we did: We rebuilt the paid search and social funnel around stock-level intent, added call and lead tracking, and aligned creative to each branch and model range. Outcome: A materially stronger and more measurable flow of qualified test-drive and finance enquiries, with spend concentrated on the campaigns proven to convert, contributing to the agency-wide 4.8x average ROAS.

Automotive

Automotive aftermarket retailer

Challenge: An aftermarket parts and accessories retailer had a busy site but weak online sales and poor organic visibility. What we did: Technical SEO clean-up, structured product content, and a tightly managed shopping and search campaign mapped to high-margin ranges. Outcome: A clear lift in organic product visibility and a more profitable paid mix, with reporting that finally tied marketing spend to revenue.

Automotive

Insurance brokerage

Challenge: A short-term insurance brokerage was paying high costs per lead and struggled to compete with direct insurers on search. What we did: We restructured the account around long-tail, intent-rich cover types, rebuilt landing pages for trust and compliance, and added quote-form and call tracking. Outcome: A lower, more predictable cost per qualified lead and a healthier return on ad spend, with the founders involved in strategy throughout.

Insurance

Insurance comparison service

Challenge: A comparison and lead-generation business needed scalable, compliant acquisition without runaway costs. What we did: Multi-channel paid acquisition, conversion-rate optimisation on the quote journey, and ongoing creative testing for different cover categories. Outcome: A more efficient acquisition engine where budget could be scaled with confidence, supported by transparent monthly reporting.

Insurance

Retail and e-commerce brand

Challenge: A growing retail brand had strong products but inconsistent online sales and an over-reliance on discounting. What we did: Full-funnel social and search advertising, refreshed product creative, email automation for repeat purchase, and SEO for category pages. Outcome: A more reliable revenue base across paid, organic, and owned channels, with better margins because growth no longer depended on constant promotions.

Retail

Entertainment and events brand

Challenge: An entertainment and events operator needed to fill seats for time-sensitive shows with tight margins for error. What we did: Demand-led social campaigns, audience building ahead of on-sale dates, and rapid creative iteration tied directly to ticket sales. Outcome: Stronger advance sales and a repeatable launch playbook for each new event, with spend pulled back the moment a show was tracking to sell out.

An honest note

Why results vary

We do not believe in cookie-cutter promises. Real results depend on factors that differ from one business to the next.

Industry and margins

A high-margin sector with strong demand can scale quickly, while low-margin or highly seasonal sectors take longer to compound. Our 4.8x average ROAS is an agency-wide figure across 64+ clients, not a guarantee for any single account.

Budget and starting point

Where you begin matters. A brand with an established audience and clean data sees movement faster than one starting from scratch. We set realistic expectations up front rather than overpromising to win the work.

Competition and time

Crowded categories take longer and cost more to win. We are transparent about timelines, report honestly every month on what is working and what is not, and never inflate metrics to look good. References are shared privately on request.

Frequently asked questions

Got questions?

Straight answers about our results and case studies. No jargon, no runaround.

Does Juicy Designs have proven results and case studies?

Yes. Juicy Designs has been founder-led since 2015, holds a 4.9-star Google rating from over 200 reviews, and has worked with 64+ clients across automotive, insurance, retail, and entertainment. Our clients see an average 4.8x return on ad spend, roughly double the industry norm. We present case studies in an honest, sector-based way and share detailed client references on a call.

Why are your case studies anonymised by sector?

Many of our clients prefer their marketing performance data to remain confidential, and competitors in tight verticals can use it. To stay honest while protecting client privacy, we describe each engagement by sector (for example, an automotive dealer group or an insurance brokerage), the challenge, our approach, and the type of result. We are happy to share specific named references and figures privately on a discovery call.

What kind of results can I expect from Juicy Designs?

Results vary by industry, budget, starting point, and competition. Across 64+ clients our average return on ad spend is 4.8x. Some sectors with strong demand and healthy margins see results quickly, while highly competitive or low-margin sectors take longer to compound. We set realistic expectations up front and report transparently every month. See our pricing for package details.

Which industries does Juicy Designs have the most experience in?

We have deep experience across automotive (dealer groups and aftermarket), insurance (brokerages and short-term cover), retail and e-commerce, and entertainment and events. Each vertical has its own buying cycle and channel mix, which is reflected in the sector-based case studies on this page. You can read more about the industries we serve.

Can I see detailed metrics and references?

Yes. We do not publish invented or precise client figures publicly, but on a discovery call we walk you through detailed, verified results and connect you with relevant client references in your sector so you can make an informed decision. Get in touch to arrange one.

Client results

In our clients’ own words

Anonymised by sector to protect client confidentiality. Named references shared on a call.

A more measurable, profitable lead flow

“For the first time we could see which campaigns actually sold cars. Juicy Designs cleaned up our tracking, focused the budget on what worked, and the quality of our test-drive and finance enquiries went up noticeably. They are honest about what is realistic, which we value.”

Lower, more predictable cost per lead

“Competing with the direct insurers felt impossible. Juicy Designs rebuilt our campaigns around the cover types we could actually win and our cost per qualified lead came down and stayed down. The monthly reporting is plain and honest, no spin.”

Growth without endless discounting

“We were stuck in a cycle of promotions to hit our numbers. Juicy Designs built a proper full-funnel mix across paid, organic, and email, and our sales became far more consistent at healthier margins. They treat our budget like it is their own.”
