THE CHALLENGE

The ecommerce business was recently launched and growing at a slower pace than anticipated.  The management team wanted to accelerate the growth of ecommerce without cannibalizing the brick & mortar sales. DigMEE Partners was brought on as an interim executive to lead the ecommerce and digital marketing initiative.
