Through continuous innovation, the agency provides expert consulting and tailored solutions, helping brands navigate an ever-evolving landscape.
Challenge: Scaling Performance to Meet Ambitious Targets
The Stroili E-commerce team was pushing for growth, but scaling performance while maintaining efficiency in a very dynamic market proved challenging. Efficiently optimising the budget was difficult and time-consuming.
To navigate this complex landscape, Stroili collaborated with Wavemaker, their trusted media agency in Italy, to optimize their marketing performance. Together, they explored new strategies and tools to enhance efficiency and profitability.
Key Challenges:
- Data-rich, but lacking actionable insights – Stroili already implemented an attribution system, but scaling up the media investment remained a challenge across so many campaigns.
- Advertising portfolio saturation – With the competitive market situation and highly saturated existing setup the team struggled to unlock new growth opportunities and further optimize their existing portfolio.
- Shifting performance goals – Alternating goal setting between ROAS-driven scaling and revenue-focused efficiency required constant adjustments from the teams.
Despite their best efforts, Anastasiya Auramenka, Digital Marketing Manager at Stroili, saw untapped potential in their campaigns. She knew that an innovative AI-driven solution could provide the breakthrough they needed to scale performance sustainably.
This is where Nexoya came into play.
AI-Powered Transformation: From Gut Feel to Data-Driven Precision
Seamless Onboarding & Adoption
Stroili’s E-commerce team, together with Wavemaker, launched a pilot with Nexoya to explore how AI-powered optimization could elevate their performance marketing.
From day one, the onboarding was smooth and efficient. With support from a dedicated Customer Success Manager, Anastasiya and her team quickly integrated Nexoya into their existing workflow. Within three weeks, five marketing channels and the respective attribution tool were fully connected, giving Stroili and Wavemaker a centralized view of their data for smarter decision-making.
Beyond ongoing support, Stroili also joined a special AI session with Nexoya’s team, gaining insights into AI optimization, best practices, and continuous improvement strategies.
Breaking Through Saturation & Unlocking Growth
Reallocating budgets across the channels wasn’t enough – Stroili needed a smarter way to scale. Nexoya’s AI identified saturation across hundreds of campaigns early and provided actionable recommendations to diversify campaigns.
With guidance from Nexoya’s team, Stroili:
- Redesigned campaign structures to remove inefficiencies and increase impact.

Once the setup was optimized, AI-powered automation unlocked new growth potential.

With Nexoya, Anastasiya and her team embraced a fully data-driven approach to marketing optimization, shifting from manual budget decisions to AI-powered, automated predictive planning.
Anastasiya was particularly excited about this transformation, as Nexoya introduced automation and predictive analytics to their process. What used to take hours of manual analysis and guesswork was now streamlined and backed by data and actionable AI-driven insights.
The entire process became fully automated and driven by data, transforming the way the Stroili team approached performance marketing.
The Optimization Process:
1. Predictive Scenario Simulations
- Stroili’s team used Nexoya’s scenario simulation feature to forecast their ROAS and revenue.
- By simulating different budget scenarios, the team eliminated guesswork and ensured the most effective strategy for each goal.
2. Weekly AI-Driven Optimizations
