What Acorn Intelligence does

Acorn Intelligence (trading as Acorn-i) is a London-based, founder-led ecommerce technology and services company founded in 2018 that helps consumer brands grow sales across Amazon, Walmart, and direct-to-consumer channels. The firm operates a dual-sided model combining an in-house omnichannel analytics and retail media platform called Ignite with a managed expert-services practice covering ecommerce strategy, content, advertising, and consumer insights.

The Ignite platform is built on Panacea, a proprietary data cleanroom technology that unifies data from Amazon Vendor and Seller Central, Walmart Connect and Seller Center, TikTok Shop, Shopify, Magento, WooCommerce, Rakuten, and major ad platforms including Amazon DSP, Google Ads, Meta Ads, TikTok Ads, and Pinterest. Ignite is organized into six modules covering sales, products, consumer analytics, market analytics, search analytics, and a unified ads console; embedded AI features include the RBT campaign automation tool, RFM-based customer segmentation, a market analytics machine learning model, and an AI stoploss that pauses ads when stock is depleted. Integrations extend into grocery platforms such as Asda, Carrefour, Sainsbury's, and Tesco.

Commercially, the company monetizes through Ignite platform subscriptions and expert managed services, with quote-based pricing tailored to client requirements and no publicly disclosed tiers. It sells primarily through direct enterprise engagement, supported by Amazon Ads Advanced Partner status and an approved Walmart Marketplace Channel Partner designation. The customer base spans SMB, mid-market, and enterprise brands across food, health, beauty, home, wine, and pet care, with a stated 94% twelve-month client retention rate and case-study outcomes including multi-hundred-percent revenue uplifts for brands such as Love Corn, Vivo Life, and Luxury Decor.
