“Having known Gianni for over eight years, I can say with absolute certainty that more than just a social media wiz he's a commercial powerhouse. From his early days at Visualsoft to his current role at FUTCOM, Gianni has shown a relentless hunger for success. What sets Gianni apart is his ability to immerse himself into a brand and then apply a proven formula for success, making him an effective partner in a fiercely competitive market. His growth isn't just personal; it's catalytic for any business he's involved in. On a personal level I really do love working with Gianni - it's always a pleasure to work with someone who not only takes on guidance but adds their own unique touch to it. A truly commendable professional to the core, and all round amazing human to be around!”

Recent data suggests that social commerce – shopping directly through social media - is very much on the rise. The top 500 retailers earned almost £5 billion from social commerce in 2017 – a year-on-year increase of 24%.
This rise has coincided with major investment in the e-commerce space from social media giants such as Instagram, Pinterest and Snapchat, indicating that social commerce is likely to be a major theme in 2019 – or even as early as this year’s peak retail season for forward-thinking brands. -
