Case Studies

Hobbycraft Site Migration

Hobbycraft is a beloved British retail brand that has been fuelling creativity and igniting artistic passions since its inception. With a vast array of art and craft supplies, their delightful stores and website caters to both seasoned crafters and novices alike. From colourful yarns and fabrics to paints, brushes, and DIY kits, Hobbycraft offers an extensive range of high-quality products that inspire the artist within.

The Challenge

When Hobbycraft decided to leap onto a new eCommerce stage, they knew this wasn’t just a move; it was a full-blown evolution. They called in the big guns for SEO backup to ensure this digital migration was smoother than a fresh jar of mod podge. The aim? To dodge the dips and set the stage for a future where organic growth knows no bounds.

The REBEL Playbook

Here’s how we rocked the boat, REBEL style, keeping risks low and gains high:

  • Site Deep-Dive: We tore through the current site like a kid in a craft shop, sizing up everything from the main attractions to the hidden gems, all to pump up the SEO juice and make the user journey a joyride.
  • Tech Genius: Laid down the law with onsite technical SEO specs that would make a coder weep with joy. We were in the trenches with the devs, crafting a digital masterpiece that’s nothing short of “best in class.”
  • URL Kung Fu: Managed the URL migration with the precision of a scrapbooker on a mission, ensuring every domain switch and redirect was as clean as a freshly cut cardstock.
  • Launch Day Legends: We didn’t just support on D-day; we were the first responders, checking the pulse of the live site, ready to jump on any hiccup.

The Victory Lap

What can we say? Hobbycraft’s digital rebirth was a masterpiece. Zero losses, all gains, with a future as bright and bold as their craftiest glitter bomb. Organic growth is not just a goal; it’s the new normal.

What They Say

About Us

REBEL have been part of the team at Joma Jewellery & Katie Loxton since 2019, supporting our Paid Media strategies and more recently, SEO. It goes without saying that REBEL are experts in their field, but my favourite thing about working with REBEL, is the genuine and honest relationship that we have with them, as I believe the most successful partnerships are built on great communication and a mutual respect for one another.

Caroline Clemens Head of Marketing - Joma Jewellery

I’m pleased we’ve chosen REBEL, as it’s been great working with an agency that brings so much insight and enthusiasm. In both strategy and execution, REBEL is an agency that clearly punches well above its weight.

Martijn Couprie Director of Marketing, Western & Central Europe

Rebel have really helped us build a foundation for SEO growth, working on a custom platform with a fairly complicated tech setup. They’ve really got under our skin and the team have always been an absolute delight to work with, going above and beyond what’s expected.

Jane Verity Head of Marketing, Artfinder

“Rebel had pitched at the same time as a competing company. I’m extremely glad we went with Rebel. Everyone we are working with at Rebel is personable and relatable. Weekly teams meetings are a Joy rather than a chore. Additionally the effectiveness of the work they have done with both our organic SEO and our PPC campaigns speaks for itself. CPA is up and organic search results look better than they ever have. It’s great to have somebody to consult in real-time over the nuances of particular SEO phrasing or formatting”

Jake Eley MD, Loco Skates

“REBEL are a great company to work with. Building meaningful relationships with their clients and always being reactive, their team strive for greatness and want the best for your company, championing you as a client.”
