“The pandemic created a seismic shift in consumer habits. There was only one place to purchase luxury goods, food and everything in between, and that was online. Companies and industries responded in turn by improving their digital offering to better serve customers, and some even accelerated their digital transformation by months and years to capitalise on demand,” said Like Digital & Partners CEO, Karl Escritt.
“It’s already proved a worthwhile move with the e-commerce sector booming and increased consumer confidence for shopping online, and I look forward to helping many more brands navigate this shift.”

These are all creating new opportunities I’m excited to explore for our clients,” said Like Digital & Partners CCO, Alexander Tovey.
