Brands typically come to s360 when their ambition isn't being matched by their current agency. We have an agile team of 30 based in London with 300 specialists in the rest of the group. Changing agencies is never a fun process but whether your turnover ranges from £10m to £500m, your brand and budgets are in safe hands.

We don't do 'set and forget'. Instead we hire smart and driven people have an insatiable attitude to improve. As the architects of Ecom Leaders, a community of marketers, our conversations with you will be fuelled with industry trends and market insights. Expect our team to use these to proactively evolve your strategy; suggesting new consumer segments, a creative refresh, adding a new channel or launching into an emerging region. This has helped keep our average client growth rate at +18% for the last 3 years.

We aim to be a true extension of your team. An average individual's career at s360 lasts 5.5 years, meaning our clients avoid your the standard agency team churn. From day one we kick off with 'brand immersion' to understand how you tick, replaced by regular hotdesking and collaborative planning sessions to keep our partnership strong year-after-year. This might explain why we have client relationships stretching back to 2014.

Every agency has access to tools, platforms and methodologies. Where our s360 innovative solutions are different is how its born out of 20 years of only partnering with international consumer brands. We use s360's group benchmarking data to understand where your brand is underperforming versus category demand. We carry out FY budgeting using Media-Mix-Modelling tailored to an omnichannel buying journey. We evolve our own channel optimisations over time by plugging in AI, machine learning and other tactics that are proven to work across similar brands to you.

We know that 40% of premium purchasers are influenced by what they see online. Digital marketing provides premium & luxury brands with the ability to marry in-store and online experiences together for a more coherent and omnichannel strategy. Premium brands can not only hone in on their target audience but - thanks to the use of sophisticated tracking and strategic testing - learn more about what will ultimately drive their customer base to purchase. Learnings from digital can then inform in-store footfall tactics, and vice versa.

One of the primary differences we find when marketing to a premium, rather than high-street, consumer is that HNWIs resonate more with a sense of exclusivity. The luxury shopper seeks detail, authenticity and a brand that offers a strong, personal experience.

Whilst there are certain in person experiences that cannot be directly replicated online, some premium brands are excelling in providing high quality customer service that premium consumers expect.

From live chat, to style guides and sophisticated ‘Fit Finders’, brands can make it as seamless as possible for a customer to get assistance whilst considering their purchase, as they would do it store. In addition to this, the delivery and returns service needs to be unrivaled, offering free next day delivery and free returns to encourage shoppers to shop directly.

You certainly can. Whilst it is essential for premium websites to be functional and easy to navigate, every touch point of the customer journey should seek to delight or add a personalised touch where appropriate.

Gucci is a great example of a brand that uses immersive virtual experiences to elevate the experience, as well as product personalisation suggestions through pop ups to aid the shopping journey.

However, personalisation doesn't always need to involve AI. Stella McCartney demonstrates the simplicity of using strong graphics and a slick appointment selector on their ‘Book an appointment’ page to provide a friction-less premium experience.
