About the brand

Cherub Baby is a trusted Australian brand offering innovative baby feeding products designed to make life easier for parents. With a focus on safety, sustainability, and convenience, the brand has become a household name for modern families across Australia.

The Challenge Faced

Cherub Baby wanted to reach more parents and caregivers while building stronger social proof and increasing online sales. Managing influencer collaborations manually was time-consuming, and measuring performance across multiple creators was difficult without a centralised platform.

Like most brands, they also had no reliable way of knowing which creator generated which sale.

What referwo can Do?

Referwo provided Cherub Baby with an end-to-end influencer marketing platform that simplified campaign management while giving complete visibility into performance.

  • Approve and collaborate with 119 influencers from a curated, vetted creator pool
  • Distribute free product samples efficiently, eliminating manual back-and-forth communication
  • Track every sale through unique creator discount codes, giving clear attribution
  • Automate affiliate commission payouts with complete transparency
  • Automatically exclude invalid orders, ensuring only verified sales count
  • Reuse high-performing user-generated content (UGC) across marketing channels to build trust and increase reach

Strategic Executive Plan

How Cherub Baby Built an Affiliate Engine That Keeps Growing

Cherub Baby activated a large group of micro and mid-tier parenting and lifestyle creators to maximise authentic content and audience reach. Using Referwo, relevant influencers applied directly through the platform, removing the need for manual outreach and recruitment.

The long-term strategy was simple but highly effective. Every approved creator received an affiliate discount code that remained active after the initial campaign ended. Because commissions are only paid after a verified sale, each piece of content continued working long after it was published. Those affiliate codes continue generating orders today, with sales accelerating over time.

The team also:

  • Used Referwo’s creator ratings, campaign history, and verified metrics to identify the best-performing influencers
  • Provided detailed campaign briefs to ensure content remained consistent with the brand
  • Tracked every purchase through individual creator discount codes
  • Repurposed top-performing creator content across their own marketing channels to extend campaign value

The Results

Sales (verified from order data):

  • $34,855 in tracked sales attributed to creator discount codes, counting verified orders only
  • 365 individual orders, each directly attributed to a specific creator
  • 11.6x Return on Ad Spend (ROAS) and 1,062% ROI
  • 53 different creators driving tracked revenue with a $95 average order value
  • Sales continue to accelerate: the most recent six months generated $16,530 in tracked sales, more than 2.5x the previous six-month period, with new orders still arriving today

Content and reach (from the original campaign phase):

  • 119 influencers activated, publishing more than 180 pieces of content across posts, Reels, and Stories
  • 140,000+ engagements, 181,000+ video views, and more than 250,000 impressions
How we measure: ROAS is calculated by dividing tracked sales by affiliate commissions paid. Commissions are only paid after a verified sale occurs, and gifting costs were limited to product samples. Orders flagged as invalid by our tracking are excluded from every figure above. While discount codes do not capture every influenced purchase, they provide the most reliable and verifiable attribution. Some customers may purchase without using a code after seeing creator content, while others may have purchased regardless. We therefore report only sales that can be directly verified.

A Pool, Not a Star

Cherub Baby’s success does not rely on a single superstar creator. Their top four creators generated less than 40% of tracked revenue, while another 49 creators contributed sales alongside them at a $95 average basket.

That diversity is what makes a creator network resilient. When revenue comes from 53 different creators, no single partnership ending can significantly impact performance. Even creators who did not generate tracked sales still delivered valuable content, social proof, and brand exposure that Cherub Baby continues to reuse across its marketing.

Conclusion

Is Cherub Baby Typical?

Every brand produces different results depending on its products, audience, pricing, and campaign strategy. What every Referwo customer receives from day one is the same level of tracking and transparency.

You always know exactly how much revenue your influencer marketing generates, which creators are responsible for those sales, and what your return on investment actually looks like.

With Referwo, Cherub Baby transformed its creator community into $34,855 in verified tracked sales across 365 confirmed orders, delivering an 11.6x ROAS and an impressive 1,062% ROI based on affiliate commissions alone.

Beyond the revenue, the campaign generated long-lasting brand awareness through hundreds of pieces of authentic creator content while continuing to produce sales well after the initial campaign ended.
