In a bid to bolster its Amazon ecommerce know-how, WPP digital agency POSSIBLE has acquired a leading specialist in the field--Marketplace Ignition, which advises clients on how to grow their business on Amazon and other online marketplaces. Terms weren’t disclosed.

Founded in 2011, the firm consults on all aspects of e-commerce from sales strategy and merchandise selection to dynamic pricing and promotion strategy. It uses data-driven research and analysis to assist clients with growth strategy.

Both Marketplace Ignition and POSSIBLE have data in our DNA. I’m excited for what we will do together to deliver more value to brands and Amazon customers.”
