Manchester-based ecommerce agency PushON has created a new parent group, PushON Commerce, absorbing marketer and web developer Pixel Kicks in the process, and aiming to accelerate growth and expand its full-service ecommerce capabilities.
As part of the launch, PushON Commerce has brought web development and creative marketing brand, Pixel Kicks, into its portfolio, picking up its expertise in Shopify, WordPress, content marketing, and product photography with the group’s existing ecommerce development and digital marketing strengths.
The PushON Commerce group now includes two established Manchester agencies, PushON and Pixel Kicks, each bringing complementary expertise and a shared commitment to helping businesses succeed online.
Simon Wharton, founder of PushON, said: “We’ve known and admired the Pixel Kicks team for years.
“By combining our ecommerce and technical expertise with their creative and Shopify skills, we’re creating a stronger offering for our clients. We see this as a major step in our long- term growth strategy.”

The move forms part of a long term growth strategy for PushON Commerce, with plans for further expansion in the eCommerce space and a projected 20% uplift in turnover in the first year of the new group’s existence.
The group is also exploring further additional opportunities, valued at around a predicted £1.5m, to strengthen its presence across key sectors, including construction supply, retail, and professional services.
Founder Wharton added: “This move represents confidence and investment in the future.
“For existing clients, it means greater continuity, resilience and more services under one roof. For new clients, it means a trusted partner with even broader expertise.”
Chris Buckley, founder of Pixel Kicks, said: “Becoming part of PushON Commerce creates new opportunities for our team and our clients.
“It allows us to keep doing the creative and marketing work we love, while contributing to a broader group with the scale and expertise to fuel growth. We’re looking forward to contributing to PushON’s ambitious growth journey.”
