Visualsoft wins e-commerce agency of the year award

Manchester-based eCommerce and digital agency Visualsoft is celebrating after winning the prestigious title of ‘Large eCommerce Agency of the Year’ at last night’s Northern eCommerce Awards.

The ceremony took place on 6 November 2018 at Manchester’s Hilton hotel and brought together the very best in online retail across the north of the UK.

The team’s entry was praised for its strong focus on client success and tangible demonstration of results, as well as strong passion for the work it carries out on a daily basis.

The company, which supports 1,200 retail clients in growing their business online, prides itself on investing heavily in innovation and forging partnerships with industry heavyweights such as Google, Klarna and Amazon.

Having just celebrated its 20th year in business, Visualsoft has also recently been named by Google as a tier one agency in Europe, highlighting its ongoing commitment to developing services for the benefit of its clients.

This award recognised the company’s industry-leading service offering, including its eCommerce platform and online marketing services, as well as Shared Success – an innovative revenue model in which client fees are based on a percentage of their sales. Visualsoft has also focused on bolstering clients’ industry expertise through free events and workshops.

Visualsoft currently employs 269 team members across three UK offices in Stockton-on-Tees, Newcastle and Manchester, with ambitious plans to grow the business over the next 12 months.

Dean Benson, CEO of Visualsoft, said: “We are absolutely delighted to have won this award. 2018 has been a fantastic year for the business, we have recently celebrated our 20th birthday, increased staff headcount by 19% and have announced plans to move our Newcastle operation to the city’s iconic Grey Street. Our continued success is a result of our expert team and the amazing clients and partners we have the honour of working with.”
