Description
Since 2016, we’ve been accelerating growth for retailers with first-class digital strategies, powered by Impressive minds.
Impressive was founded with a single goal: to cut through the BS and create campaigns that drive tangible performance for retailers. We wanted to be an ethical, results-driven business in a sea of cowboys, and offer brands a new way forward. A way to help retailers stay agile and keep up with the fast-paced world of digital.
But what truly matters to us? Working with our clients and our people to define the future of digital. That’s why we’re continually pushing the boundaries to deliver long-term growth for more retailers around the world. Whether it’s through bringing in Performance Directors, partnering with industry associations like NORA and the IMAA, or expanding our presence to the US, we’re always a move ahead and a cut above.

Recent Campaigns
We've recently undertaken a number of different campaigns, including changing Billy J Boutique’s approach from paid media to an omnichannel strategy, and impacting Viktoria & Woods' online warehouse sales.
Most memorable/favourite campaign
The story of how an iconic retailer, Mitre 10, constructed an “Impressive” eCommerce strategy. We created an highly efficient omni-channel strategy powered by Google search ads, social remarketing, display ads, email marketing, and Facebook and Instagram ads.
The team at Mitre 10 was stuck. They had thousands of SKU’s that were only available for click and collect because of their weight and size. Our strategy focused on the click and collect service. Essentially, the campaign was about digital marketing that extended past the digital space. Tying in-store and offline sales had a huge impact for Mitre 10 and ultimately produced fantastic results.
What do you like about being an independent?
Being nimble, agile, and no red tape
In your opinion what is the biggest challenge and the biggest opportunity the industry and your agency faces this year?
The industry's biggest challenge is finding the best and brightest stars. However, with our agency's expansion into Brisbane later this year, we have a chance to significantly increase our operations. The market is heating up over there, and our USA operations are doing very well too. With this growth, we hope to find even more talented individuals to join our team.
