Paid Media
eCommerce Consultancy
Hi. We're Vervaunt.
Our small team of consultants support ambitious retail brands in growing and scaling their online business, through expertly managed paid media and hands-on eCommerce and replatforming support.
Driving positive change & growth for online retailers
Vervaunt is a modern, high-impact eCommerce and paid media consultancy, born out of a mutual passion for delivering growth and driving operational improvements for aspirational brands. We work with a portfolio of respected retailers and we’re very proud of this, as well as the relationships we retain with these clients and our combined achievements.
Vervaunt works alongside businesses of all sizes, as long as we believe we can deliver a return on their investment and help them to achieve their business goals. Our ideal customer is a multi-channel brand looking to grow or develop their online, direct-to-consumer channel - be it via an offline, wholesale or B2B background.
We’ve been working with Vervaunt for around six months and they’ve become an extension to our in-house eCommerce team – supporting some great initiatives and helping us roll out lots of new functionality on our Shopify Plus store. Paul’s knowledge of Shopify Plus and eCommerce generally has been a huge help for us! They’ve helped deliver considerable improvements to our site search, helped to roll out a personalisation solution and supported our marketing and eCommerce teams in implementing lots of other new pieces of functionality. Paul was also invaluable in delivering the Shopify replatforming project.
Services provided: replatforming support, function management, project-based Shopify Plus support, paid media consultancy.

As an eCommerce Director who has experience both agency side and client side it’s easy to think you know most things yourself and don’t need any advice, then you talk to Vervaunt! I first contacted Paul as he was a highly recommended and regarded within the Magento community and from our first conversation he confirmed why!
Vervaunt had not only seen our problems before they knew how to fix them and they’re always at the end of the phone/skype with a suggestion or a solution when you think you’ve got nowhere left to turn. I have used them now as a great source of advice on numerous projects, including a full site migration, where they undertook a full code audit of our site highlighting issues multiple developers at our agency were missing and he’s been an invaluable support in selecting our partners.
Services provided: Magento consultancy, paid media consultancy, auditing.

“I worked alongside Vervaunt on various eCommerce, Performance Marketing and UX projects and was always very impressed with the work that he delivered. Vervaunt not only has a very strong understanding of the eCommerce platform landscape but also for the bigger digital marketing space, which makes his input very valuable.
I was very impressed with his thorough knowledge of the Magento platform. On a personal note, I found Paul to be a very engaging individual, who has a good sense of humour and this makes him a pleasure to work with.
I would have no hesitations recommending Vervaunt and their services.”

Platform-Specific Consulting
We’ve consulted around a host of large Magento projects, ranging from creating project specifications to managing Magento 2 builds.
Shopify Plus is a solution we’re working with a lot currently, as a potential alternative to more complex solutions like Magento and Shopware.
Other Platforms
In addition to Magento and Shopify Plus (the solutions we've worked with most), we do also work with other platforms but we are not solutions specialists with these options. These include BigCommerce, Shopware and Salesforce Commerce Cloud.
“It’s been a privilege to work alongside Paul and Josh on our site at Linda Farrow. Both Supporting our business with the migration onto our new platform and concurrently offering strategic advice to drive revenue and improve customer experience.
This dynamic and forward thinking pair really operate at pace, leave no detail unturned and offer very hands-on, genuine and unbiased advice. Fitting in perfectly alongside our business, working with our team as colleagues as opposed to consultants. Their energy and passion is infectious and knowledge; exemplary.
Paul has a great understanding of the luxury retail and what omnichannel really means to the world of commerce.”

“Paul and his team proved invaluable to us when we were deciding which eCommerce platform to migrate to and, equally importantly, which SI to use.
The process to flush out our requirements was structured and rigorous but also flexible enough to allow us to focus in on the things that will really make a difference. Paul’s encyclopaedic knowledge of the platforms and the key solution providers helped us to massively speed up our decision-making. Paul will also go above and beyond the brief with a genuine desire to add value to any issue and find practical solutions that work. “
