Our Approach
As one of our earliest accounts, Brompton required a broad and adaptable digital approach that covered performance, content, UX and technical development. A significant part of the partnership was centred on helping the brand respond quickly to the COVID-19 economy. With retail closures and sudden shifts in consumer behaviour, Brompton needed its digital platforms to become more capable, more reliable, and more commercially effective almost overnight.
Ecrubox supported this pivot through rapid Shopify development, improved UX and the introduction of more resilient digital features, including a complex bike builder to help customers configure products at home. Alongside this, we strengthened Sitecore projects, supported multi-language and region expansion requirements and established a clear performance framework to meet surging online demand. Strategy workshops and customer insight work helped the brand adjust its messaging and planning with confidence.
The Challenge
The Covid period placed unusual pressure on brands that historically relied on showroom or in-store experiences. Brompton needed to shift quickly, ensuring that customers could research, configure and purchase online with clarity and confidence. The challenge was to upgrade and stabilise the entire digital environment while maintaining the engineering-led identity that defines the brand. Our role was to bring structure, speed and technical precision to a complex and rapidly changing situation.
The Result
Brompton gained a more capable and connected digital environment, stronger user experience and a dependable performance structure that supported growth during a turbulent period. The rapid development work helped the brand navigate the Covid economy, broaden its reach through multi-language and regional support and create a more intuitive online journey. The partnership remains one of the most formative in shaping how Ecrubox approaches complex, multi-disciplinary digital projects.
