The Importance of a Shopify Plus Agency

In order to find success with your online business, it's necessary to have a clear brand and marketing strategy that stretches across every touchpoint of the customer's shopping journey. Every touchpoint is important. We recommend working with agencies because you need someone who can see the wider landscape — those with different perspectives and who have industry knowledge. An agency is more privy and up to date on trends and research. Brands are good at making products but not necessarily making brands.

We are thrilled to feature the outstanding agencies that push the envelope on eCommerce experiences and go above and beyond to serve their clients and grow their businesses. By putting the spotlight on their incredible work, we hope that brands continue to craft engaging experiences that drive merchant growth.
