YorkshireTechy Case Study

My Tool Expert

My Tool Expert is a UK and German ecommerce brand created to sell a range of premium, branded tools online. 

As Head of Digital, I was responsible for building the brand’s entire digital operation from the ground up — including the team, the technology, and the online sales channels.

The goal was simple: launch a new tool brand into two markets and make it commercially successful without a huge marketing budget.

What I Delivered

  • Building the Ecommerce Team
  • I created and led a new in‑house ecommerce team consisting of:
  • An Ecommerce Manager
  • A Graphic Designer
  • A Marketing Executive


Together, we handled everything from product setup and content creation to customer experience and performance marketing.

Shopify Store Development

I designed and built two Shopify stores, one for the UK and one for Germany

I ensured they were:

  • Fast, reliable and easy to manage
  • Optimised for search engines
  • Fully branded and consistent across both markets
  • Integrated with Amazon UK for additional reach
  • SEO‑Led Growth Strategy


With limited budget, the website needed to perform strongly in organic search. 

I focused on:

  • Technical SEO foundations
  • Search‑friendly product structures
  • High‑quality product content
  • Clean, fast page performance
  • Category‑level optimisation


This was supported by targeted Amazon PPC to capture high‑intent buyers.

Impact

The results were strong from the start. Within the first year:

  • The brand generated £350k in online sales
  • Organic search became the primary traffic driver
  • Amazon PPC delivered consistent, profitable conversions
  • The team operated smoothly and independently day‑to‑day


The project proved that with the right structure, strategy and execution, a new ecommerce brand can scale quickly, even in a competitive market.
