Rapid growth at Venture Forge

- Phil Hutchinson newsdesk@halifaxcou­rier.co.uk @HXCourier

HALIFAX BASED e-commerce specialist Venture Forge is celebratin­g 18 months in business with five new project wins totalling £90,000, a larger office and a new, bespoke Amazon service offering.

The agency, which was launched in Spring 2018 by Andrew Banks, has experience­d rapid growth through specialisi­ng in e-commerce strategies for growing businesses and has now launched its own Amazon Strategy and Management Service to help brands to maximise their online sales potential.

It has spent the past six months developing the offering in response to Amazon representi­ng the biggest e-commerce channel – with more than 197 million visitors each month – for companies looking to rapidly grow their online sales.

The agency’s latest client win and first to sign up to its AmaMr zon service is ERA Home Security.

The firm has appointed Venture Forge to create and manage a bespoke Amazon sales strategy for its Homeguard range of smart home burglar alarm systems.

Banks said: “For every brand we’ve delivered e-commerce strategies for in the last 18 months, Amazon has represente­d the biggest growth opportunit­y for them.

“For some clients, their lack of Amazon experience has resulted in them not being able to deliver on the biggest growth opportunit­y for their business, and in many cases their products being sold badly by third parties on Amazon.

“The benefits of partnering with us are first and foremost sales growth, and secondly, better online brand management.”

Venture Forge was one of the three finalists shortliste­d in the Best New Agency category at the UK Agency Awards.
