Absolunet Launches U.S. Division in Kansas City

Strong growth and increasing U.S. sales fast-track eCommerce agency's expansion

KANSAS CITY, MO, June 20, 2016 /CNW Telbec/ - Absolunet, the Montreal-based eCommerce agency that has helped some of Canada's most iconic brands achieve digital revenue growth, announced this week that it is opening a U.S. division in Kansas City.

The move comes as Absolunet continues to experience significant growth in North America, with U.S. sales today representing more than 10% of the agency's revenue, with clients such as RR Donneley/TOPS, FUJIFILM and more.

"As our clients and client list continue to grow, the goal of our investment in a dedicated U.S. Sales and Operations division is to maintain our growth rate" says Charles Desjardins, Absolunet Partner and Senior Vice President. "Kansas City, with its central location, is strategically located to deploy strategic resources throughout the country."

Absolunet has steadily increased its client portfolio to become one of Canada's most solicited eCommerce agencies, especially since the creation of its Digital Revenue Growth team, a marketing and analytics team that optimizes and compounds the revenue-generating eCommerce projects that have been developed using Absolunet's unique "tentacular" approach to applying the Agile methodology.

"Our 'Outgrow, Outperform, Outsell' approach has paid off well for clients, and our expansion into the U.S. has been the object of an ongoing discussion with our partners who have been a key element of our U.S. growth. Our mastery of mltiple languages, rapid delivery and proven track record of having a positive impact on digital revenue, along with our multidisciplinary approach, has led to record growth over the past few years" adds Charles Desjardins. "We are a year ahead of our own growth plan, to be honest."
