The Backstory

Founded at the intersection of fashion and chocolate, JACEK Chocolate Couture was born from one woman’s desire to build a business that spreads joy—through beautiful, ethically sourced, couture-inspired confections. From humble beginnings, JACEK has grown into a beloved brand across Canada, known for seasonal collections, stunning packaging, and chocolate that tastes as good as it looks.

But with big dreams on the horizon—like doubling corporate holiday sales and expanding into new retail locations—JACEK needed a digital strategy that matched their bold vision.

“We made the decision to outsource our digital marketing to bring in expertise and provide support through communications mentorship.”

The Turning Point

As JACEK’s internal marketing team evolved and the business scaled, it became clear they needed outside expertise to support both the technical side of digital marketing and mentor new team members. That’s where we came in.

With a soon-to-be-retired Shopify theme threatening performance during the holiday rush, and a need for more robust analytics to inform smart marketing decisions, the JACEK team reached out to Flight Plan Marketing to help them upgrade their digital infrastructure and scale their reach.

Where We Landed

Together, we set out to:

  • Rebuild the Shopify website with a modern, stable, and customizable theme
  • Strengthen the data pipeline with Google Tag Manager, GA4, and custom dashboards
  • Run strategic, seasonal Google and Facebook Ads campaigns 
  • Enhance the customer journey with beautifully designed product collection and details pages
  • Deliver creative support for graphics, ads, and promotional campaigns

With Easter 2025 as our first major benchmark, the results spoke for themselves.

“Easter 2025 was a resounding success—thanks to Flight Plan Marketing’s planning, pivots, and support, we saw a 47% year-over-year growth.”

Data Deep Dive

Behind every beautiful campaign is a backbone of strong data—and the numbers speak volumes. From the start of 2025 through to the end of May, JACEK saw a marked uptick in overall web performance, driven by both organic and paid efforts across the board.

  • Total Website Sessions increased by 11%, showing clear growth in site engagement and interest.
  • Organic Search Traffic also climbed by 11%, demonstrating the impact of ongoing SEO and content strategies.
  • Page Views were up 36%, pointing to deeper visitor engagement and more time spent exploring JACEK’s seasonal collections.
Organic Website Traffic Growth

Year-over-year gains

  • Items Purchased rose by 24%, and Total Purchasers grew by 12%, signaling stronger conversion paths and product-market resonance.
  • Organic Revenue jumped by 22%, affirming that customers not only found JACEK through search—they bought in.
Website Revenue Growth

These early 2025 gains position the brand for an even stronger Q4. With holiday campaigns and new launches on the horizon, we’re building on a foundation of performance and scalability—ready for the next wave of growth.

The Working Relationship

In just a few months, our team became a natural extension of JACEK’s internal marketing crew. Regular meetings, fast turnaround, and mutual trust became the foundation of a partnership built for growth.

“We have FPM earmarked to support us on these key initiatives.”

What's Next

Looking ahead, we’re thrilled to support JACEK as they endeavour to:

  • Double corporate holiday sales from $295K to $590K
  • Open a new store in St. Albert (coming 2026)

We’ll be there for it all—planning, building, and scaling alongside their in-house team.

Final Word
