What Optimizon does

Optimizon is a London-headquartered, full-service Amazon and multi-marketplace agency founded in 2016 that serves enterprise and mid-market brands across FMCG, health & beauty, fashion, pets, and food & drink categories, with a secondary presence in Melbourne. The company operates a sales-led, POD-structured delivery model targeting brands seeking to scale on Amazon Seller Central and Vendor Central, and has expanded coverage to 35+ marketplaces including eBay, TikTok Shop, Walmart, Zalando, B&Q, Tesco, Ocado, TEMU, Wayfair and Shopify. Publicly disclosed scale metrics include over £150m in managed GMV, £20m+ in managed ad spend, and 60-100+ active brand relationships, with named clients including Reckitt, MARS Petcare, Brita, Adidas, Marshall, YETI, Ferrero, Stolichnaya, Tomatin and Everlast.

Optimizon delivers services across three pillars — Data (Insights Audit, AI Visual Analysis via Dragonfly AI integration, and the proprietary Nozzle.AI customer analytics platform), Growth (full-service account management, advertising and retail media, Amazon Vendor chargeback recovery, marketplace expansion, and the Optimizon Retail consignment model for international brand entry), and Brand (listing optimisation, product copywriting, and e-commerce design). The revenue model is predominantly professional services with custom enterprise pricing on multi-year contracts, augmented by the Nozzle.AI platform layer. The company was the first UK agency to achieve Amazon EU Platinum Partner status and holds multiple Amazon certifications (Advanced Advertising, DSP, Retail for Advertisers, Sponsored Ads, Campaign Planning).

Optimizon pursued an aggressive inorganic growth path, acquiring Nozzle.AI and Marketplace AMP in September 2023, MarketplacePower in 2024, and being acquired itself by Smollan — a global commerce solutions provider operating in 60+ markets — in December 2025. Despite the change of ownership, the company continues to operate under the Optimizon brand with its existing leadership, including CEO and Founder James Pitts-Drake.
