Our beginning

Our beginnings

Acro Media began in Kelowna, BC, in 1998 with five guys, a dream and three months rent in the bank. We wanted to build a company and culture that was steeped in a real excitement for the work we were doing, a passion for the people we worked with everyday, and the expertise to pull it off. In the beginning, we were a full service agency providing everything from brand identities and marketing materials, to custom web software.

The early years

Eventually, we dug in on ecommerce, but we were doing it like everyone else: building a proprietary platform and locking our clients into our model. It brought us success, but took away our freedom and that of our clients as well.

After two recessions and the dotcom crash we saw the demand for businesses to have an online presence intensify and realized the landscape of digital commerce was changing quickly. A new wave of online needs and business pains hit our clients. We had to evolve our solution, so we did.

The wonder years

How did we change? We discovered open source, and we fell in love.

The open source approach to commerce was exciting. It was the freedom, customization and community that we had been searching for. We quickly became experts in this architecture, and discovered that there were companies out there that needed the edge of ecommerce platform customization and API integration to differentiate their customer experience from a sea of “me too’s".

Today

We make a 'real' difference for our clients. We provide solutions for direct to market retailers who want to lead their industry through a commerce infrastructure that frees them from perceived online constraints. We empower them with the knowledge and technical tool box to build a digital world that serves their business and their customers.

This is where Acro Media shines.

Tomorrow

At the end of the day, we really want to partner with clients who want to break the traditional barriers of online retail to create true ownership, adaptability, and connectivity. Both for themselves, and their customers. We want to help you provide limitless experiences to your shoppers.

Re-imagining your commerce environment can be stressful and incredibly intense. You need to work with great people who are great at their jobs.

Our focus is always people first. That means we care for our clients, our team mates and the end customer over everything else. We've learned that focusing on the people results in the best product; encouraging contribution, transparency and teamwork.
