Where it got stuck
A strong brand without a scalable foundation.
With a love for color, attention to fine materials and a sharp eye for detail, Kado Design offers a broad range of exclusive designs in (gift) packaging. Strong brand, loyal customers, but no clear engine driving growth.
The foundation underneath was outdated: a CMS blocking scale, campaigns without a clear strategy and barely any online expansion abroad.
We advised on the migration to Shopify and from there built the foundation for Google Ads, Social Ads, lead generation and email marketing with flows. All focused on new customers and retention.
A strong brand doesn't automatically make you a growing brand. That's where the scalable foundation sits.
The approach
From scattered campaigns to one scalable engine.
Google Ads and feed rebuilt
Google Ads with focus on non-brand, standard Shopping instead of PMAX for more control, and a central product feed via Channable.

- Standard Shopping for more control
- Central feed via Channable
Email as the engine behind CLTV
Lead generation via social to grow the email database, with flows and campaigns aimed at repeat purchases.

- Reactivation of existing customers
Fully localised to Germany
Not just translated: the full website, feed and communication localised per market, with market-specific campaigns.

- Market-specific campaigns per country
- Feed and translations centrally managed
International
For Germany we went a step further
Kado Design is active in multiple countries across Europe. Alongside strong growth in the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium and France also grew significantly.
The full website was localised, from product copy and categories to checkout and customer communication, so the brand feels genuinely German. That's where real growth begins.
Foreign markets need more than just a translated site.

Want to scale profitably across borders too?
We don't take on everyone. If we're a fit, we look together at where the biggest gain is: in ads, email or international expansion.
- Concrete analysis of where you're leaving revenue on the table
- Honest advice: if we're not the right party, we say so
- Direct conversation with an entrepreneur, no sales funnel
What partners say
5-star reviews from brands we work with.
"Since early 2026 we've been working with WindroseHQ to accelerate the growth of SIZZ the brand through SEO, SEA and email marketing. Within four months we reached the number 1 position in Google for the search term 'dames longsleeve', above several large fashion retailers. A pleasant and knowledgeable team with a proactive approach and a lot of e-commerce expertise. A valuable partner for our growth!"
Bob
Co-owner · SIZZ The Brand
"We've been working together for over 1.5 years. The partnership feels like an extension of our company. They're proactive, think along with us and are focused on results (and they deliver), not on reports. Windrose isn't a standard agency, but a real growth partner. They build their own companies and brands and share that hands-on knowledge with us. That's why they look far beyond 'just traffic or revenue'. They support us in admin, import, customer service, logistics and day-to-day operations. That way multiple areas are tackled at once and different levers are pulled."
Paul
Owner · Afdekzeilwinkel
"Windrose is a really great partner to work with. We have them handle several marketing disciplines, and for each one they have a dedicated specialist. It doesn't feel like an external party, but like an extension of our own team. They take responsibility and actually think along, instead of just ticking off what's asked. In short: very happy with the collaboration. Good communication, the right structure, good results, and they also look at the long term. Definitely a recommendation!"
Ivo
Founder · IVONO
"Working with Windrose has been very positive. Their entrepreneurship, no-nonsense approach and expertise make them a reliable and valuable partner. They think proactively, move fast and know how to tackle complex challenges in a practical way."
Virgil
E-commerce · TI SENTO
"We've been working with WindroseHQ for about three years now and in that period we've made huge progress as a company. What I value most: they really think with you. Not from a 'billable hours' mindset, but with good questions and ideas. I've worked with several agencies — WindroseHQ makes the difference."
Remco
Owner · DiamondsByMe
"Six years as our partner and we've made great strides together! Especially this year we've seen huge growth and the partnership is rock solid. On to more wins together!"
Martijn
The Chesterfield Brand
"We've been working with Windrose on social ads for a long time. For the past 1.5 years also across e-commerce, where they act as a strategic partner and think along across the entire business."
Justin

"Great partner with real added value in the online space!"
Lennart
Owner · Floer
"Worked with multiple agencies and never been as satisfied as with Windrose. Where many agencies limit themselves to media buying, Windrose actually helps you get to the next level. Short lines, fast execution. I'd recommend them to everyone — but I won't, because then they'd have less time for me, haha."
