Marketing, Content & Event Strategy for the Shopify Ecosystem


Image of Keir Whitaker

Hello! I'm Keir, a UK-based marketing consultant, business coach and founder of event series Craft+Work. I specialise in helping Shopify-focused businesses stand out from the crowd, build their authority, and attract new customers through clear messaging, impactful content, and high-value events.

I've been involved in the tech and ecommerce industry for the past 20 years. From working independently to collaborating with agencies, big corporations, and startups including an exciting 7-year stint at Shopify.

Since starting my own consultancy practice in 2018, I've worked with dozens of Shopify-focused agencies and app businesses, SaaS companies, consultants, founders and soloists to help them define their products and services, create customer-focused marketing and host high ROI events. Perhaps I can help you — let's find out.

Recent Articles

I share thoughts on marketing, entrepreneurship, running a small business, and tales from 25+ years at the "code face". The archive also contains my "9 Questions For…" interviews with founders, entrepreneurs and business owners.

All my articles can be found in the archive.


Upcoming Events

Craft+Work is an intimate (only 50 participants per edition) event series that brings together freelancers, soloists, founders and small business owners to share experiences, learn from each other and prove that there is no right way to build and grow a creative, digital, or ecommerce business.

It's not your average sit and listen event. Expect to come and get involved in the conversation, share your ideas, and learn from others building businesses on their own terms.

Our goal is to host events around the UK and Ireland and make a trip to the USA and Canada for full-day events in 2024. We are researching venues in Birmingham, Cardiff, Dublin, Exeter, Manchester, Milton Keynes, New York City, and Toronto. If you are interested in helping host a Craft+Work event, please get in touch and let's talk.
