Rainy City Agency - Award-Winning Shopify Plus Agency

Well, that’s a wrap on 2024! Looking back, we can’t quite believe how much has happened. We’ve been all over the place this year (literally!) - from hosting our favourite breakfast meetups across Manchester, London, and Liverpool, plus our private dinners in Bologna, London, Texas, NYC, and more. Nothing beats catching up with our community. We also made the most of every opportunity to connect and learn at industry events like Cosmoprof Worldwide Bologna, the Manchester Ecommerce Summit, IRX & eDX in Birmingham, and many more. Wherever the conversations were happening, we were there. We’re so proud about our awards shelf getting a bit fuller too. Winning UX Agency of the Year at both the Global and European Agency Awards was great, but seeing our very own Taimoor named UX eCommerce Developer of the Year was really amazing. It’s been incredible watching the Rainy City family grow. We’ve welcomed 24 new clients, launched 11 projects we’re really proud of, and somehow convinced 4,000 of you to subscribe to our updates (thanks for that!). Our Meta Ad clients have been smashing records left and right too. The really exciting bit? We’re working on something very special. Next year, we’ll be revealing Rainy City 2.0 - a fresh new chapter for our agency, along with a brand new website, so stay tuned! Before we sign off for Christmas, massive thanks to everyone who’s been part of our journey this year. Our clients, partners, and everyone who’s turned up to our events - you’re all incredible. See you in 2025! ✨
