As digital marketing veterans with headquarters in Vancouver, we can recommend the agencies we know, love, and trust.

We’re big believers in a well-matched and intentional client and agency partnership. This means we’re selective in who we work with — and we believe you should be too. This way, your agency can meet your needs and you, theirs.
Here are the 11 best eCommerce agencies in Vancouver:
Thrive Digital has an extraordinary reputation in digital performance marketing. In part, it comes from their excellent results with paid media campaigns but, it also comes from their company culture. Much like us, Thrive values collaborating with their clients and approaches all challenges and opportunities with an ego-less attitude.
Thrive is specialized — meaning they will do great things for you in the paid ad campaign field and provide optimal analytics on your eCommerce performance. But, they will not build you an eCommerce site or create content for you.
Noise Digital announced their Shopify Plus partnership in 2021, stating “when data analytics meets e-commerce…big things happen.” Noise is a data-based agency who helps “brands unlock the power of their data to drive performance marketing and digitally transform their business.” They’ve been a well-loved Vancouver agency since 1998, providing brands with strategy, technology consulting, and agency services.
Engine Digital is one-part digital consultancy and one-part design and engineering. Even though they aren’t exactly eCommerce marketers, they’re doing some very cool things, from creating sites from scratch that serve the customer while smashing their clients’ sales goals to “developing an approach to content management that would eliminate the distribution gap” and get pertinent, up-to-date information to MasterCard’s global internal team. So, technically they’re more like an incredible dev shop but their work hits the right marks, so we are considering them one of the best eCommerce marketers in Vancouver.
Idea Rebel is a full-service digital agency that creates sophisticated eCommerce builds. They provide “eCommerce solutions that focus on data-driven personalization.” And, mention it’s because of their incredible team and excellent technologies that they keep clients like Quiksilver, Prana and Keurig enjoying year-over-year growth. Idea Rebel also prides themselves on thinking differently, being environmentally friendly, and using technology to drive their ideas.

A Shopify Plus agency, Iamota knows their way around an eCommerce strategy. They’ve helped brands like Vessi, Kal Tire, and Manitoba Harvest up their eCommerce game.

Brand Camp are newer kids on the block, but they’ve been proving their worth year-over-year with great returns and happy clients. Plus, if your budget or needs aren’t quite at the custom dev shop-level, Brand Camp is a popular eCommerce solution for marketers looking to get started in this space.
