Markacy, a digital strategy and marketing firm based in New York City, announced that it has partnered with the Tamara Mellon brand, a global luxury footwear and accessories company, to help drive its e-commerce growth fueled by the increasing consumer demand for its luxury shoes and accessories.
“We are thrilled to be working with Tamara Mellon who is changing the game in their industry as the first truly e-commerce-driven luxury direct-to-consumer (DTC) business that was built from the ground up,” said Chris Jones, Managing Partner and Co-founder of Markacy. “Having a robust digital operation in the luxury, fashion and apparel industry is more important than ever. We look forward to working together to make Tamara Mellon a household name and we are confident in our ability to help the brand reach its tremendous potential.”
Tamara Mellon, a company created by its namesake and former co-founder of Jimmy Choo, is making luxury handcrafted leather shoes and accessories, made by family-run factories in Italy, more accessible to consumers. The brand’s innovative approach to product development and manufacturing, as well as its DTC strategy, makes it a unique brand in the luxury footwear space. Tamara Mellon has brick-and-mortar retail locations in New York and Los Angeles.
