Fortnum & Mason hires VCCP Search

Fortnum & Mason, the upmarket grocer on Piccadilly, is expanding its digital marketing with the appointment of a specialist search engine marketing agency for the first time.

The fine food and wine emporium, which celebrated 300 years of trading last month, has hired VCCP Search its to handle both natural and paid search.

In line with a £25 million store refurbishment, Fortnum & Mason has also launched a new web site as it seeks to reach a new generation of customers who are more likely to seek out goods online.

"Fortnum & Mason has continually innovated throughout its 300-year history and was one of the first to develop home shopping," said Alison Jordan, commercial and marketing director of Fortnum & Mason.

"It is natural that we continue such innovation through seeking to utilise the latest technologies in search marketing."

In contrast to the 300-year-old emporium, VCCP Search is only one year old. Its focus is on brand and reputation, and direct response through search.
