Leading performance marketing agency Summit to secure a significant new deal withWickes. The digital experts have taken over management of Wickes' PPC, SEO and affiliate marketing programmes, with a two-year contract in place.

Wickes first began working with Summit in Spring 2023 via the Summit's proprietary Comparison Shopping Service (CSS) - Productcaster. After outstanding trial results on Google Shopping, Wickes and Summit began exploring working together across key performance channels including paid media, SEO and affiliates.

Ryan Thomas, Chairman of Summit, said:

"This new partnership is huge for the business and it's a glowing testament not just to the incredible work from our team of retail and digital marketing experts, but the tenacity and commitment they've shown when getting this over the line. Wickes is a dream client for us, and we can't wait to demonstrate just how much commercial impact we drive through our strategic knowledge and considered, tactical approach. This win is the icing on the cake of what's been a phenomenal year for us."
