Read about how Formation Studio delivered a full digital transformation for luxury jeweller Robinson Pelham, resulting in a modern eCommerce platform, elevated email strategy, and impressive increases in online engagement and sales.

The Situation

1

1When we started working with Robinson Pelham, they were a renowned luxury jewellery brand with over 25 years in the market, known for their exquisite craftsmanship and loyal clientele. While they had a strong retail presence and international recognition, their digital approach was outdated, with an underperforming website, minimal email engagement, and no cohesive content strategy. The brand needed a robust digital transformation to improve their online experience and meet their scale-up goals.

The business had no in-house marketing or eCommerce team, and the team faced a growing need for strategic marketing and eCommerce expertise. The brand had fantastic products, distinctive branding and some very loyal customers but needed to start raising awareness and bringing new customers into the brand via digital marketing and channels. With increasing competition and a desire to reach new audiences, Robinson Pelham needed strategic support to enhance their digital presence and boost online sales.

  • We were introduced to Formation Studio with two unrelated projects in mind and very little time to execute them. Philippa and Ellie hit the ground running. They have guided us well and are clear about what each project needs to achieve. They are driven by taking a step and assessing how effective it is, quickly. Great to deal with, open to feedback, personable and effective. We enjoy working with them.
