BRIEF

Brave the Skies came to their aid and proposed a flightpath. Together they would need to overcome such obstacles as data migration and backend integration. But with close collaboration, they could bring their new design to land safely on the Shopify Plus platform.

The Solution

The bold crew delivered an international store approach, by leveraging the power of Global-E’s internalisation offering, all while working with Drake’s Consultancy firm to ensure clever management of their inventory across multiple stores.

Brave the Skies guidance and expertise was exactly what we needed when building our dream site.

The Results

Brave the Skies continued their cosmic partnership with Drake's post-launch, establishing a Growth Retainer to chart a trajectory through unexplored digital frontiers. Together, they crafted a formidable roadmap for future projects and bespoke features, enhancing the gravitational pull of their store.

Drake’s shattered their own sales records during the 2022 festive period, and their recent alliance with the US fashion brand, Aimé Leon Dore, resonated across the vast expanse of the e-commerce cosmos.

Good work crew. Mission Accomplished.
