Performance Growth — ongoing retainer

2024 — present

About

Forest Spa Finland is a Nordic skincare brand born from Finland's ancient forests. Adaptogens, water rituals, and the resilience of the slow North translated into a quietly precise product line — drops, creams, masks, facial pouches.

The voice is unmistakably Nordic: less stress, more balance. Less noise, more calm. Resilience grows wild in the boreal — and the brand bottles that idea without overstating it.

The brief

Grow awareness across European markets, turn paid traffic into e-commerce conversion, and build email into a meaningful revenue channel — all without breaking the brand's calm, considered tone of voice.

Research & Scope

Rather than assuming the target audience, we mapped it empirically. An initial phase of structured testing across UK, DE, SE, and FI identified the exact demographic, geographic, and interest profile that converts — before scaling spend against it.

Market & Customer Research

01

Demographics

Testing across all four markets revealed the core buyer profile — age range, gender distribution, and lifestyle indicators that consistently predicted purchase intent over passive engagement.

02

Geographics

UK, DE, SE, and FI each had distinct performance patterns. Initial spend mapped where cost-per-result was lowest and average order value was highest — informing budget allocation before scaling.

03

Interests

The highest-converting audiences clustered around Nordic lifestyle, natural skincare, adaptogen wellness, slow living, and sustainability — confirming the brand's positioning and sharpening creative targeting.

Slow Life — the campaign

One narrative, five placements. The Slow Life campaign translated Forest Spa Finland's voice into cinematic short-form: forests, lake water, breath, light. Same line of copy across every surface — Facebook Feed, Instagram Feed, Instagram Stories, product tiles — so the brand met the audience in the same emotional register wherever they encountered it.

Creative direction, copywriting, video editing, and full Meta media buying — Studio Babka.
