The Working Party

Melbourne agency and the longest-standing partner on this list

Overview

The Working Party is a Shopify agency based in Hawthorn, Melbourne. Its Shopify Partner Directory profile shows the Platinum badge and a partner-since date of 2012, the earliest of any agency on this list, with an estimated team of 51–200 people and more than 25 active projects.[4] The agency’s website describes it as having been Shopify specialists for 16 years and serving ‘Australia and New Zealand’s leading retailers’.[5]

Its directory profile lists storefront and theme customisation, checkout and customer-account customisation, Shopify Functions, custom app and API development, internationalisation and platform migration as its top services, with apparel and accessories, home and garden, and food and beverages as its main industries; its top markets are Australia, the United States and New Zealand.[4] Its website organises its work into strategy and optimisation, design and creative, technology and performance, and growth and expansion.[5]

The client list published on its website is weighted towards large Australian retailers, including JB Hi-Fi, Lovisa, The Good Guys, Seafolly, KOOKAÏ and Youfoodz, as well as LEGO and New Era.[5] That makes it a natural shortlist candidate for retailers in Australia and New Zealand migrating large catalogues to Shopify. The agency does not publish prices, team headcount or a founding year, and its single listed office means that clients in other time zones would be served remotely.
