April 12, 2025

In the world of eCommerce, it’s one thing to exist online—it’s another to thrive. For Bellroy, a brand rooted in thoughtful design and sustainable practices, standing out in a crowded digital space required more than just good products. They needed smart strategy, creative collaboration, and the kind of content that doesn’t just blend in—it goes viral.

Here’s how Bellroy used affiliate marketing, creator partnerships, and a clever engagement strategy to rack up 7.2 million views—and generate a jaw-dropping 3823% ROI.

Who is Bellroy?

Founded in 2010 around a kitchen table in Australia, Bellroy has grown into a global brand known for sleek, durable carry goods. With a team representing 25 countries (just at their Melbourne HQ!) and a status as a certified B Corp, Bellroy is committed to doing business for good—crafting quality products while treading lightly on the planet.

But even with a strong product and mission, there was one challenge…

The Challenge: Breaking Through the Noise

Like many brands in today’s ultra-competitive online space, Bellroy asking: 

“How can Bellroy enhance its online presence and boost brand engagement in a highly competitive market?”

The Strategy: Incentivized, Engaging, and Everywhere

To tackle this, Bellroy turned to Creator.co—and together, they built a campaign rooted in performance, not just aesthetics.

Here’s what worked:

✅ 1. Affiliate Partnerships that Convert

Bellroy leaned into affiliate partnerships with trusted content creators. These creators didn’t just look the part—they had influence. By tapping into their established credibility, Bellroy was able to reach fresh, relevant audiences with messaging that felt organic.

✅ 2. Incentivized Engagement (That Actually Worked)

To add urgency and value, the brand offered a 15% discount—exclusive to the creators’ audiences. This not only drove conversions but created a sense of exclusivity that got followers excited to shop.

✅ 3. Multi-Touchpoint Content

Instead of one-and-done posts, creators were encouraged to:

  • Share across multiple platforms
  • Post more than once
  • Use DMs, Stories, and comments to create authentic interactions

This repetition helped build trust and boosted the likelihood of followers clicking through to learn more (or buy).

The Results: One Viral Video and Thousands of Conversions

The numbers speak for themselves:

  • Views: 7.2 million

  • Shares: 64,000

  • Saves: 69,000

  • Comments: 323,000

  • Reach: 4.9 million

  • ROI: 3823%

One standout post from influencer Beatriz Santos alone generated 5M views, leading to:

  • 20,000 website visits

  • $2,000 in sales

  • And a total media value of nearly $250,000
