Strategy &
Operations.
Digital channel setup, market expansion, tech stack, AI implementation, dashboards, KPIs, processes, competitor research, market analysis. Everything that turns scattered ecommerce activity into a coherent practice.
Strategy & Operations from Sector 106 is the senior thinking layer that sits above your ecommerce execution. We advise you on which channels to run, what tech to use, what to measure, and how to report so you can make the best decsions. You get a marketing plan built on 28 years of judgement, not a generic playbook.
Most agencies sell execution. We sell the thinking that goes around it as well. The senior judgement that decides which channel to add, when to enter a new territory, what tech to bring in, what to measure, and what's actually worth your money.
It's the work that gets harder to fake the more experienced you are. We've been doing it for 28 years across many consumer sectors We've seen what works at £100k revenue, what works at £10m, and what breaks in between. We bring that expertise to your account.
Setup & Expansion

New markets.
Set up properly.
We help ecommerce brands launch on new channels and into new markets without burning three months of budget figuring out the basics. Campaign structure, attribution, audience targeting, creative formats. We've done it before. We compress the learning phase to weeks.

Operations & Reporting
Numbers that make decisions easy.
Many e-commerce brands have too much data and not enough time to analyse it. We fix that. We build dashboards so we can easily analyse KPIs, and then discuss performance with our clients so we can make good decisions on how to achieve our objectives.
A real client example
We track Nailberry against a 30% spend-to-sales target. The dashboard shows the daily ratio with traffic-light bands. April 2026 came in at 28% (GREEN). When it hit 40.8% earlier in the year, we paused three campaigns and got it back inside a month.

Half of strategic work is knowing what's actually happening. We do the research that helps you understand what is going on in the wider digital community that effects your business.
