Exovault, a New York–based design house known for its luxury iPhone cases crafted from metal and wood, partnered with XENA Intelligence to elevate its eCommerce performance in a category dominated by mass-market brands. Within one quarter, Exovault achieved 260% overall sales growth, 210% increase in ad sales, and an impressive 128% rise in ROAS, while improving TACoS efficiency by 156%.
ChallengesChallenges
Exovault was celebrated for craftsmanship and individuality each case built like a piece of art but the brand struggled to scale this luxury appeal online.
Mass-Market Overcrowding:
Competing against mass-produced protective cases on Amazon made it difficult for a premium-priced product to stand out in search results.
Low Ad Conversion:
While engagement was high, conversion rates lagged because campaigns targeted general “iPhone case” shoppers instead of design-oriented or luxury-seeking audiences.
High CPCs on Generic Keywords:
Bidding on saturated terms like “metal iPhone case” or “designer phone cover” drained budget without driving proportionate ROI.
Limited Visibility Among Premium Buyers:
Organic rankings didn’t reflect the brand’s true aesthetic value, and existing SEO structures weren’t optimized for affluent or style-conscious segments.
Exovault needed a strategy that combined
data intelligence with emotional storytelling
one that would convey craftsmanship while maintaining performance scalability.
“Our biggest challenge was communicating craftsmanship in a data-driven marketplace. XENA helped us position our story without losing our essence and the results have been nothing short of transformative.”
