Lincoln-based Google Premier & Shopify Plus eCommerce marketing agency eComOne has appointed Stephen Kenwright, ex co-founder and former chief commercial officer of Rise at Seven, as non-executive director as the business enters its next phase of growth.
Stephen co-founded search-first creative agency Rise at Seven in 2019, serving first as COO and then CCO. During his tenure, he grew the agency to £7m in annual revenue, 110 staff, offices in Sheffield, Manchester, London and New York, and more than 70 industry awards before exiting after three years.
With over 13 years’ experience in leading agencies that have set the standard for high-quality digital experiences for global retailers, Stephen joins eComOne to support strategic operations and help the agency become the go-to eCommerce specialist for search and paid media in the UK.
Stephen Kenwright, non-executive director of eComOne, said: “I’ve known Richard and the eComOne team since I joined them on their eCom@One podcast a few hundred episodes ago (before it was cool), so I’ve watched them grow and enjoyed advising them along the way.
“I’m excited to make it official and help them accelerate the impact they’re already having on clients and the industry. I’d especially love to help put Lincoln on the digital map in the same way I’ve helped Sheffield and Leeds in previous businesses.”
Richard Hill, CEO and founder of eComOne, said: “Stephen has built and led one of the most exciting agencies in the UK and his experience will be invaluable as we continue to scale. I’ve followed his journey for years and have always admired the way he combines creativity, strategy and commercial thinking.
“Having him officially join us feels like a perfect fit at the perfect time, as we push to become the go-to eCommerce search and paid media agency in the UK and continue to put Lincoln on the digital map.”
eComOne was recently promoted to Shopify Plus Partner status, reinforcing its commitment to delivering world-class eCommerce marketing solutions. Stephen’s appointment comes at a pivotal time as the agency continues to scale nationally.
