The categories we&#8217;ve been named as finalists in are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3><strong>Best eCommerce Agency (up to 30 Employees)<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3><strong>Best Full Service eCommerce Agency<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3><strong>Most Innovative Use of AI in Data Management<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>Why These Three Matter<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Being shortlisted once is a privilege. Being shortlisted three times, across three very different criteria, tells a fuller story about how we work.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>Best eCommerce Agency<\/strong> nomination speaks to the fundamentals: consistent results, strong client relationships and the day-to-day delivery that keeps online retailers growing. It&#8217;s recognition of the team that shows up and gets the work done.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>Best Full Service eCommerce Agency<\/strong> shortlisting reflects something we&#8217;ve always believed in. eCommerce performance rarely comes from a single channel. It comes from <a href=\"\/ae\/services\/seo\/\">SEO<\/a>, <a href=\"\/ae\/services\/ppc\/\">PPC<\/a>, <a href=\"\/ae\/services\/digital-pr\/\">digital PR<\/a>, content and web design pulling in the same direction. Being recognised as a full-service partner confirms that joined-up approach is paying off for our clients.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>Most Innovative Use of AI in Data Management<\/strong> nomination is the one we&#8217;re especially proud of. The <a href=\"\/ae\/industries\/ecommerce\/\">eCommerce<\/a> landscape is shifting quickly, and the agencies that thrive will be the ones using AI to make smarter, faster decisions with the data they already hold. This recognition reflects the genuine, practical innovation our team has built into the way we work, not innovation for its own sake.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>A Thank You to Our Team and Clients<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>None of this happens without the people behind it. Every shortlisting is the result of sharp thinking and a team that genuinely cares about the results it delivers.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;d also like to congratulate the other finalists across every category. The standard of the shortlist is a reminder of just how much talent there is in the UK eCommerce industry right now.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;To be shortlisted three times at the Ecommerce Awards 2026 is a real testament to the people behind Absolute. The Most Innovative Use of AI in Data Management nomination in particular shows we&#8217;re not just keeping pace with where eCommerce is heading, we&#8217;re helping shape it. I couldn&#8217;t be prouder of the team.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Ben Austin, CEO and Founder.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><strong>What&#8217;s Next<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The winners will be revealed at the awards ceremony at the London Hilton Bankside on 23<sup>rd<\/sup> September, and we can&#8217;t wait to be there to celebrate with the rest of the industry. Whatever the result, being recognised three times over is something we&#8217;re incredibly proud of.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re an online retailer looking for a partner that combines proven eCommerce delivery with real AI innovation, we&#8217;d love to talk.
