Previous seasons

LION Digital clients have delivered standout peak-season results year after year. W. Titley & Co is a prime example — a 24× ROAS across Black Friday/Cyber Monday, three times LION’s normal 8–12× benchmark, followed by a 76× ROAS on Boxing Day, achieved by segmenting Google Ads campaigns to align tightly with Titley’s product categories, feed, and priorities.

The Opportunity

Black Friday Is No Longer Just About Discounts.

BFCM now opens the Christmas shopping season and sets the tone for Q1 retention. The brands that win are the ones with offers, feeds, flows and audiences built weeks before the first email lands.

Over the BFCM 2025 four-day cyber window, Australians spent more than A$1.5 billion online, with Australia Post processing 5.8 million parcels in a single day — its busiest trading day on record, up 6.3% year on year.

  • A$1.5B+ Online spend over the BFCM 2025 four-day cyber window
  • 5.8M Parcels processed in a single day (+6.3% YoY) — AusPost’s busiest trading day on record
  • 3.1M Australian households shopped online over BFCM 2025 (+9.2% YoY) — most active cyber period on record

Before you buy

Questions we get every season

What media budget do I need?

The package covers strategy, build and management — media spend sits on top and is yours. As a guide, the accounts above ran between $4,600 and $18,400 in media across the sale window. We model a budget with you before launch.

What if I don’t have creative ready?

We work from your existing assets and product imagery, and build the email template and ad variants around them. If you need net-new creative production, our Design team quotes that separately.

Can you work alongside our current agency or in-house team?

Yes. We regularly run BFCM as a channel specialist next to an in-house team or another agency — we agree the split of channels and the reporting cadence up front.

When do we need to start?

Allow at least twelve weeks. The build itself runs six weeks, and we finish it a full six weeks before your sale period so feeds, flows and audiences have time to warm up before anything goes live.
