Things to Consider

Small team size means limited capacity for large concurrent projects or fast scaling requests

Senior staff may be stretched across multiple accounts, reducing dedicated attention per client

Deep niche focus on E-commerce and Retail means companies outside these verticals may not get the same level of specialized attention

Founded in 2023, giving them a shorter track record than more established agencies in this space
