eCommerce aggregation and brand consolidation

Strategic Profile

The company focuses on transforming Amazon best-sellers into recognized brands through omnichannel strategies, including transitioning brands from digital to retail and engaging customers through events. SellerX has signed an agreement to acquire Elevate Brands, creating one of the world's leading eCommerce aggregators, consolidating the European and US markets.
