Mastering digital as a marketing, sales and or distribution channel is key for many businesses. There are multiple routes to market within ecommerce, from social selling to Amazon to direct-to-customer strategies. Business success in our digital world is often aligned with effective digital channel selection and management, allowing for seamless transactions with both supplier and channel partners, and of course customers and consumers. The judges will award the strategic thinking that has driven business growth (and addresses opportunities and challenges) through the deployment of ecommerce strategies, examining the selection of partners, management of relationships, optimisation of business process, use of technology, regulatory management and focus on customer / consumer engagement.

Square

Marshall Kingston

Winner

Following a successful launch in Ireland, Square set out to expand its services, promoting economic empowerment to the 2.65 million SME’s in Spain. However, the landscape in Spain was vastly different to Square’s other markets, with 87% of in-person transactions being cash based. To penetrate this market, Square not only needed to build awareness of the ecosystem of products on offer, but also educate Spanish businesses on the benefits of utilising these products over their existing systems. Square tackled this with a combination of highimpact advertising, online campaigns, and putting existing Square Sellers front and centre of the marketing efforts.

Brian Curtin

Finalist

WHOOP is a wearable fitness and health coach that provides personalised, actionable insights via a wrist wearable and companion app. Created in Boston in 2012 the brand’s marketing had traditionally skewed towards the US, and because of this, WHOOP wasn’t resonating with global consumers.

WHOOP International was set up in Dublin in 2021, tasked with expanding the brand internationally. In 2022 the team executed a unique campaign around the Giro d’Italia cycling tour, and results exceeded expectations. Not only did WHOOP unlock international markets, but from a team perspective it was successful, as Global Marketing is now led from Ireland.
