Atelier Commerce

For direct-to-consumer and luxury brands, Atelier Commerce offers lifecycle marketing that covers the full path from first visit to repeat purchase. The New York agency was founded in 2017 and works on Shopify, BigCommerce and Klaviyo, combining strategic oversight from senior staff with hands-on execution.

Its work is organised into three connected practices. Growth Marketing deals with acquiring the right customers efficiently and building a distinctive brand identity. Retention Marketing uses email, SMS and loyalty programmes to build revenue from existing customers and raise lifetime value. CRO and Experience treats the online store as a designed environment, on the view that design shapes conversion, trust and brand value. Its declared services span PPC, SEO and ecommerce SEO, web design, content marketing, link building, local SEO and optimisation for AI search, with equal weight on each.

The agency argues that most brands need clearer structure and better judgement rather than more tools or channels, and it aims to align design, technology, merchandising and growth more closely. Senior people stay involved day to day, with few management layers between client and team. Atelier Commerce has 10–49 people, a $5,000 minimum project and hourly rates of $100–149, making it a fit for premium DTC brands in the US that want an ecommerce agency with a strong design sensibility.
