Amidst a period of evolution, Shopworn confronted dual requirements: expertise in consulting and adeptness in recruiting. The pivot towards creative and e-commerce transformation was clear, but the structure and talent to propel e-commerce growth were ambiguously charted. The revamped website birthed another challenge: the quest for an e-commerce savant, adept at performance marketing and seamlessly blending into Shopworn’s intimate family-esque culture.

Our relentless pursuit culminated in a ten-week timeframe, with the onboarding of an exceptional e-commerce/marketing leader set to elevate Shopworn’s digital landscape in 2023.
Impact:
2023 unfolded as a watershed year for Shopworn. Thanks to the pivotal hire and the transformative e-commerce recalibration, Shopworn is poised to break even. As they embark on an exciting journey of re-platforming, the stage is set for a robust Q4 and an exhilarating 2024, replete with possibilities.
