Digital agency, Strawberry, has been shortlisted in the prestigious 'eCommerce Company of the Year' category in the Prolific North Tech Awards.
The agency, which is based in Hull and Manchester, has also received two further nominations in the 'Best Use of Tech In Retail' and 'Transformation Through Technology' categories.
Over the past 12 months, Strawberry has embarked on an ambitious growth strategy, which has seen the Shopify Plus Partner deliver eCommerce builds for both nationally and globally-recognised brands including Deliveroo, Roland Mouret and Tropic Skincare. The agency has also opened a new base in the XYZ Building in Manchester, celebrated its 25th anniversary and appointed a new Account Director and Head of Client Development to its team.
Strawberry has cemented its reputation as one of the leading Shopify Plus agencies in the UK, being the only Shopify Plus Partner in the country to connect its clients with their audience both online and off, with retail activation.
James Greenwood, Joint Managing Director at Strawberry comments on the significance of the award nominations:
“We’re absolutely thrilled to have received three nominations in the Prolific North Tech Awards. It’s testament to the hard work and dedication of our team to deliver first rate, innovative eCommerce and digital projects for our clients. It’s great that we’ve received recognition, not just for us as an agency, but for the success we’ve helped our clients achieve too.
“The last year has been an exciting one for Strawberry, as we’ve grown from one of the best Shopify Plus agencies in the North to one of the best in the UK. Our goal for the next 12 months is to maintain this position, and continue to build and market great eCommerce projects for our clients.”
“We've grown from one of the best Shopify Plus agencies in the North, to one of the best in the UK.”
Strawberry’s award nominations in the Best Use of Tech In Retail and Transformation Through Technology categories are for an alcohol licensing software project completed for Gosschalks Solicitors. The project, which involved building a SaaS Digital Portal to act as a ‘one stop shop’ for alcohol licensing compliance, helped its client, and the UK’s leading supermarkets, earn millions in extra revenue.
Liam Quinn, Head of Digital at Strawberry, comments:
“The SaaS Digital Portal we built for Gosschalks is a project we’re extremely proud of. It’s made a huge impact in managing alcohol licensing in the UK and it’s a great example of how technology can completely transform an industry."
The Prolific North Tech awards celebrate and reward the very best tech companies, applications, deals, advisors and entrepreneurs from across the North. Winners will be announced at an awards ceremony on 8th May at The Midland Hotel in Manchester, as part of Tech Show North, the biggest gathering of technology companies and suppliers held outside London.
Strawberry provides its online and offline clients with a wide variety of creative, digital and marketing services including eCommerce platforming, managing integrated campaigns, brand and positioning, search marketing, content and design.
In 2015, Strawberry was awarded Shopify Plus Partner status and has since completed Shopify Plus builds for a variety of retail brands including Roland Mouret, Tropic Skincare and Hugh Rice Jewellers.
With a headquarters in the C4DI building in Hull’s Fruit Market, Strawberry has recently celebrated its 25th anniversary and established a new base in the XYZ Building in Spinningfields, Manchester.
