In its fifth year, the Yotpo Partner Awards program continues to showcase the excellent eCommerce agencies and tech companies behind the most innovative eCommerce experiences and brands in the ecosystem.

The current eCommerce space is saturated with technology vendors developing a wide variety of tech solutions and countless agencies and consultants offering services for website design, development, strategic online marketing, revenue optimization, and more. With so much noise, brands can find it difficult to quickly and easily choose the right vendor for their eCommerce projects.

This list of Yotpo Partner Awards finalists represents the leading partners in each category, who were vetted by an expert group of judges, to make the discovery and decision processes much smoother for brands. With a 30% uplift in submissions from 2020, this year we looked at nominations from over 20 countries, including the UK, Germany, Australia, US, and beyond, and were given a first-hand look at inspirational stories of successful projects and developments across the ecosystem.

## How we chose the finalists

With hundreds of nominations globally, the judging process was split into three separate committees, including a panel of expert judges from the product, design studio, strategy, and brand departments, and included C-levels and Yotpo’s CEO.

The judging factors took into account the work the partner did for a nominated brand in 2021, how they transformed and optimized the brand’s eCommerce experience, and their level of participation as a Yotpo partner. **Ultimately, the Yotpo Partner Awards symbolizes the ultimate synergy between unparalleled eCommerce expertise and exceptional engagement as a Yotpo partner.**

We looked at the standout success stories that demonstrate out-of-the-box thinking, creative strategies, and impeccable execution. The finalists’ work encompasses a wide range of eCommerce services and was judged on:

- Success and performance in website design
- Digital marketing strategy and implementation
- Re-platforming and tech integrations
- Growth and customer retention tactics
- Other crucial eCommerce strategies
