Event and networking series SocialNorth has partnered with eBay and Wunderman Thompson Commerce & Technology to launch a new multi-event series in Manchester.
ECOMM NORTH launches on Thursday, November 16 with a free event at the new WPP Manchester Campus. The event has been co-produced to “attract the innovators shaping the future of ecommerce from the North and give top talent the opportunity to connect and hear from fellow experts in the industry.”
Justin Clark and Lee Benecke, co-founders of SocialNorth, said: “SocialNorth was created to serve the amazing talent of the North. There is no doubt that the North houses some of the best e-commerce brands, agencies, and talent in the UK, and the world. We’re incredibly proud to be partnering with two giants in the industry and lining up some amazing speakers for the ecommerce community. The new series is part of exciting long-term plans to launch more of these vertical event series alongside the return of our flagship events.”
Scott Armstrong, head of new business and growth at Wunderman Thompson Commerce & Technology added: “SocialNorth has done a fantastic job in connecting the digital community across the North, evidenced by their events and the success of our joint summer networking event in August. Now we’re moving the partnership forward and focusing on our expertise in ecommerce. Wunderman Thompson Commerce & Technology exists to inspire growth for ambitious retailers and brands.
“Our deep expertise in commerce, experience, data, and technology drives our entire business and will be great inspiration for the event with SocialNorth and eBay.”
The event series will continue into 2024 with three events currently scheduled in January, March and May 2024.
