A leading ecommerce brand, La Redoute, tested creator-driven ads alongside their existing paid media setup. The goal was simple: measure whether creator ads could outperform business as usual on hard revenue metrics.
The core challenge was creative saturation: La Redoute’s paid media engine was already optimized, but business-as-usual brand ads were fatiguing, limiting incremental growth, and the team lacked a systematic way to introduce creator-led content into paid media with the same performance controls and accountability.
The Cirqle was introduced as a performance layer. Creator ads were run directly against BAU ads. Decisions were made on ROAS, CPA, and conversion rates, not CTR.
The solution was to use The Cirqle as the performance layer on top of La Redoute’s existing paid media stack, enabling the team to source, validate, and deploy creator-led ads as a systematic creative input rather than a standalone influencer initiative.
Through The Cirqle’s platform, creators were selected based on historical performance signals, their content was turned directly into ads, and results were measured against business-as-usual campaigns using the same revenue metrics, allowing creator content to compete on equal footing with traditional brand ads and unlock incremental performance at scale.


“The Cirqle helped us drive over 25% better performance while saving dozens of hours per month across teams by consolidating influencer workflows into one system.”
Creators were selected based on historical performance signals rather than follower size. Assets were produced and structured specifically for paid distribution.

Creator ads generated fewer clicks, but higher-quality ones.
CTR decreased compared to BAU, while CPM and CPC were slightly higher. Despite this, creator traffic converted significantly better once users engaged. The takeaway? Creator ads are not a replacement for BAU ads; they are a performance amplifier.
