MEET THE FOUNDER

Brian Poehner

Founder | eCommerce Operations & Technology

I've spent my career building businesses, managing operations, and solving real-world ecommerce challenges.

From co-founding a 120-location retail business to leading ecommerce technology for Hanesbrands and Alternative Apparel, I've experienced commerce from both the business and technology sides.

With more than 25 years in ecommerce, my experience includes 16 Shopify and Magento website buildouts, enterprise marketplace integrations, and NuORDER B2B wholesale implementations for major brands including Shiseido.

I've been responsible for the technology, the operations, the budgets, and the results—not just recommending solutions.

The technology has changed dramatically over the years. The fundamental business challenges haven't.

That's the experience behind Kickstart Digital.

WHY KICKSTART DIGITAL EXISTS

Because not every business needs....

Another Agency

I've seen how easily ecommerce projects become more complicated, expensive, and time-consuming than they need to be.

Kickstart Digital takes a different approach. We focus on understanding the business, identifying what actually needs attention, and providing practical solutions.

Sometimes that's launching a new store. Sometimes it's fixing something that isn't working. Sometimes it's improving performance or simply helping manage the day-to-day operation.

Whatever the challenge, the objective is the same: get the work done correctly, efficiently, and with your business in mind.
