Hypebeast
A performance-led digital strategy to attract international patients.
The Challenge
Hypebeast is a leading global destination for streetwear culture and lifestyle, attracting an average of 35 million pageviews and 13 million users across its media and commerce properties.
At these volumes, understanding the audience and how they interact with content and products becomes critical. Without clear insight into who the most valuable readers and customers are, how users navigate the site, and which campaigns or brand partners contribute most to traffic and revenue, optimisation and strategic decision-making were limited.
Hypebeast, in collaboration with MediaUnbox, engaged OMS Performance to answer the following key questions:
- Who are the best customers and most engaged readers?
- What paths do users take through the site and purchase funnel?
- Which campaigns drive the highest performance?
- Which partner brands contribute the most traffic and revenue?
Our Approach
We deployed a data-driven analytics and measurement framework designed to unlock strategic insight across audience behaviour, campaign performance, and brand impact.
Audience segmentation:
We defined and tracked custom user cohorts based on engagement, lifetime value, content interaction, and purchase behaviour to identify the highest-performing segments of readers and customers.
Journey mapping:
Using event-level data from multiple sources, we built behavioural funnels that traced how users moved through the site — from first visit to content consumption, engagement events, and conversion actions.
Campaign measurement:
We evaluated all active and past campaigns (paid, referral, newsletter, and partnership activations) against revenue contribution, engagement efficiency, and conversion rates. This included channel-level performance and creative efficacy.
Brand attribution:
For eCommerce activity, we analysed brand traffic sources, revenue contributions, and cross-category engagement to highlight which partner brands drove the strongest results.
Throughout the project, we worked alongside MediaUnbox to leverage advanced analytics methods and integrate cross-platform datasets, ensuring completeness and accuracy.
The Outcome
Within a structured performance intelligence initiative, Hypebeast achieved measurable strategic clarity:
- Top customer segments identified: We isolated high-value cohorts based on behaviour and revenue potential, improving targeting precision.
- User journey insights established: Clear paths from content to commerce were mapped, revealing opportunities to optimise navigation and reduce drop-off points.
- Campaign performance benchmarked: We identified the highest-performing campaigns and channels, enabling reallocation of budget toward proven ROI drivers.
- Brand contribution quantified: We ranked partner brands by traffic and revenue impact, providing actionable insights to commercial and merchandising teams.
These insights enabled Hypebeast to make data-informed decisions on content strategy, campaign planning, and commercial partnerships — transforming raw traffic into strategic advantage.
